How To Treat Severe Pain In Right Leg While Suffering From Neuropathy?
My wife & I are both 84 living in Windsor CO/FortCollins CO altitude approx 5,000 ft. Thinking of moving to Estes Park CO altitude 7500 ft, I am in good health, my wife has several problems and takes the flwg meds, Aspirin 81 mg daily, Durezol 0.05 % 1gtt 4 X day, Restasis 0.05% 2 X day, Spiriva 18 MCG 1 capsule day, Symbicort 160-4.5 MCG/ACT 2 twice day, TraMADol 50MG 1 2 X day. She had a mild TIA about 2 yrs ago, has Nuropathy in both feet and legs (not diapedic), a serious balance problem. She has had 3 corneal transplants in the right eye with no success which adds to her balance problem. Her right leg gives her a lot of pain and she needs to use a walker. We have been to about 12-15 different Doctors with no help and she does t even want to to consider seeing another, we would just like to live our life out in Estes Park, if we could. Your comments would be appreciated

Hello,
The severe pain in leg while suffering from neuropathy is a multiple task taking strategy to deal with, here are some salient guidelines:
- Control of body weight, blood sugar, cholesterol levels
- Continue current medications
- Ice application over right food
- Regular walking, exercises
- Prescription of methylcobalamine and pregabalin for further additional relief in neuropathy over and above the said medications
If you have latest MRI scans with or without lab results, I would be able to discuss further in greater details.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
