Hey all...

My husband is now 2 years out from treatment and he had a scope the other day.. Still clean!!!

I do have a question regarding neuropathy.

He has neuropthy in his legs and just a few days ago he started with some new problems.

His leg is really hurting now and he has tingling and numbness that just started.

He also has a lot of pain in his lower back only when he sleeps.

we flipped out mattress and he still has the pain. The back [ain has been going on for a few weeks.

i sent him to his neurolgist the other day and she ignored his complaints and lowered his meds after not seeing him for 6 months and having a 20 minute visit.

Needless to say, I was not very happy and he is going to his GP this Thursday and see what he has to say.

Another thing, he has severe pain in his throat still. Does anyone still have throat pain 2 years out.

He quit taking pain meds a few months ago and now, his ENT will not prescribe him anything. He told him to take Prilosec.

I am sooo frustrated, he's struggling with alot of pain right now..
