Suggest Cure For Severe Pain In Feet

Hello, I am having trouble getting my primary care provider to follow up on care I need. I need a referral to address my severe pain in feet which I think may be neuropathy. Can t stand longer than a few minutes. I have been waiting 9 days for a replacement CPAP. My other one wasn t covered by insurance so I m getting a new one that is, but she keeps failing to call in the order to the medical supply. Both they, and I, have called many times. I don t know what else to do. I m exhausted from my severe apnea. When someone is doing this, who do you complain to? The office manager was no help. I need my machine and a referral so badly.

Ok, pain in both feet is usually a neuropathy. But why there is a neuropathy is quite a question. Diabetic effects on nerves is both the most common and the most difficult to treat. B12 deficiency, electrolyte problems, heavy metal poisoning can all be tested for and if any of those were the problem it could be fixed.
