Answer 1

Hi Linda

Trying to get medical attention is very diffecult these days and Im not convinced they know how to cure. They know how to prescribe and that surpress' the issue, doesnt heal it. The best advice I could give and not easy to do, but is to learn how to heal yourself. Several and I mean several different concepts ot there to help yourself to get well. If you click on my bio here at yahoo, you'll see what Im referring to. Here is remedies for Neuropathy.

Cause
Neuralgia, neuropathy, and neuritis can be caused by diseases such as anemia, diabetes or thyroid disease, pressure from a tumor, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, infection, gout, leukemia, syphilis, alcohol abuse, heavy metal toxicity, or direct trauma. To determine the underlying cause, it is necessary to seek professional medical assistance. Once the underlying cause is detected, it must be properly treated before long-term relieve of nerve symptoms can be achieved.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Chamomile, eucalyptus, cedarwood, juniper, and/or lavender essential oils massaged into the affected areas can relieve pain.

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet and drink plenty of pure filtered water throughout the day. Also eliminate all caffeinated beverages, refined sugars, cigarettes, and commercial carbonated beverages.

Herbs: Combine equal parts of the tinctures of St. John`s wort, skullcap, oat, and Siberian ginseng. Take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Externally, peppermint oil can be applied to the affected area to relieve pain.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Aconite, Mag phos., Phytolacca, Chelidonium, Lycopodium, and Arsen alb.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Juice Therapy: Parsley, celery, and carrot juice acts as a nerve tonic that can be helpful in mild cases.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful: vitamin B complex, vitamin B1, vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, Brewers` yeast, calcium, lecithin, and magnesium. Proteolytic enzymes taken away from meals can also be helpful especially in cases of neuritis.

Topical Treatment: Apply Epsom salt packs to the affected area.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating neuralgia, neuropathy, and neuritis: Acupressure, Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Chelation Therapy, Chiropractic, Craniosacral Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Light Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga

Best of health to you

Dear: Neurontin has been recently changed to Lyrica, it has better results.

What was the prognosis to start with, you had a serious injury. Where do you live. Are you near any big medical centers? Lot's of questions.
If you can get to a teaching hospital, they'll have many doctors from all over in all fields plus, they'll have the labs and equipment with diagnostic labs. You'll need all this I'm afraid.

What is "discolored lower egs" (hereditary) and, what did they do for the injury to start with, what did they find out.
You say you had a "hole in the back of my head"

Without going into a lot of detail you should follow what I already told you, I'm sorry for you but there little I can do with this information or here. Bless you.

Answer 3

Ask them why they are more worried about the next patient than they are about you. That is why they are in and out. It is a business ya know. The more people they see the more money they make etc.. Doctors who have their own practices have a lot of overhead costs such as employee salaries, rent on the building, supplies, utilities and more. They don't have the time to spend with the patient because then they would not be able to see the number of patients to keep their businesses afloat.

Answer 4

Medical personnel will certainly give you and your various questions all the time and deference that they can. There ARE patients however who are very anxious and want to know a great deal at once. These days doctors and nurses don't have the kind of time they used to. They will answer all your basic questions and the rest at another time or/and they will refer you to sources which will help you find out more. It is suggested that prior to your appointment(s) with your MD to have a list of questions that you have written down and ask him/her then. There's a lot of researching you can do on your own as well.

Answer 5

neuropathy doesn't occur after head injury or atleast thats not the correct technical term . if doctors spend a lot of there holding your hands and consoling you how will they see the next patient ? how would you have felt if the doctor whom you went to meet was busy with another patient whose case was non emergency when u went with your hole in the head ? there are other people alsow aitin to see the doctor please try to understand that fact . you are not the only exclusive patient . what you need is a counselling centre or some extra curricular activity

Answer 6

You should change doctors if your not satisfied. Many good doctors spend as much time as needed to help you.

The exception to this is if you have burned your bridges. If you've abused the system, their schedules, their employees or if you have been drug seeking you will find that health care providers are pretty impatient with that.
