Several things to consider. 1. Have you gone to a really good chiropractor? It could be as simple as some nerves being pinched or something out of alignment.
2. Neuropathies can cause the tingling and numbness and I don't think vicodin is necessarily the drug of choice. Maybe neurotin, I think my friend has this and that is one of the things he takes.
3. Are you pre-diabetic or diabetic? That can cause neuropathies.
4. If the doctor thought you had celiac disease, he should do the celiac blood work and then an endoscopy before you go gluten free. Tests aren't valid unless you are consuming gluten.
As far as how long it takes to clear up, that depends on how long you have had celiac disease and how damaged the intestines are. And I imagine nerve problems may take longer than some other problems to clear up. The book I list below has some pretty good info on this.

I'm not entirely sure why the back and leg pain would make your doctor think of Celiac. Has he done a conlonoscopy? There are a lot more factors than just eating a gluten free diet, you should also eliminate any gluten containing personal products (lotions, shampoos, etc...) that you might use. Even your Vicoden could have gluten in it depending on the manufacturer... You should look stuff up at Celiac.com. Everyone there is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable.
Good luck! I hope you find some relief!

specifically situations like this one, the position the recipient is truly positioned interior a similar wellness facility I see no reason it cant be performed? My brother received a bone marrow transplant, that became unsuccessful, lower back in 1995 and regardless, i quite choose we would have basic who the donor became... i imagine the relationship, even if that's an organ or bone marrow or regardless of the actuality that, quite impacts and sticks with the households on both area and it does provide some closure in a experience. i do no longer agree although, that race or faith might want to play any section in finding out on or denying. in this difficulty, if it supplies the mothers and fathers of Kaylee some peace, then why do not you enable them to make the alternative a minimum of they're going to locate some convenience in that and promises them some healthful *closure*. they don't seem to be chosing for the different reason than the little female is sweet there interior a similar wellness facility and they could sense the soreness soreness of Lillians mothers and fathers. The time line is so narrow to grant an organ besides, would besides let Lillian have a chance, she is sweet there waiting. If it were one in all my personal toddlers in Kaylee's position, i might want to desire the international would not choose me for my judgements on organ donation, and doubtless educate some compassion for his or her difficulty and the alternative they are compelled to make.

Acupuncture, which involves inserting thin needles into various points on your body, may reduce peripheral neuropathy symptoms.
