Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy
Hey. I have peripheral Neuropathy and I get cramps in my sides quite frequently. My doctor has me on muscle relaxers for it but not stopping it. I also get cramps in my legs and thighs but everywhere I read I can only read about legs and arms, and nothing about cramps in sides right around my lower rib cage. Should I be concerned because it is quite painful for me.

Hello and welcome.
You should find the exact cause of neuropathy first and only then it can be treated on the right way. It may be metabolic, diabetic, alcoholic,compressive or progressive neuropathy and you need to do miographic and MRI imaging tests to see is there issue in spine or in peripheral nerves. Regards.
