Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy In A Diabetic
I m having Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, which is experienced in my feet only. It s been 4 years since I underwent chemo as adjuvant therapy after surgery for colon cancer. I have diabetes too which started almost along with the cancer, but it seems to be under reasonable control with a HbA1C score of 7.5. Is there any scope for relief from neuropathy?

Hi,
Welcome to the HCM.
Best treatment is controlling blood sugar level as diabetes can be the culprit cause.Symptoms of neuropathy can be reduced by using tab.gabapentin and see if you dont have vitamin B12 deficiency so it can be replaced accordingly.
hopefully my answer will be helpfull.

Dr.Maheshwari
