Hi and thanks for your comment. I cover that in my free webinar. Here's the link for today's webinar. chroniccarecharlottesville.online/registration-5 If you can not make it today, contact the office for the next one. info@chroniccarecharlottesville.com
Dr. Prax...thank you for your dedication to all of us who suffer from neuropathy...I have sent you a comment on another video...I am just starting a deep dive into curing this unbearable pain...mine is in my feet and started about a year ago...I saw a neurologist and a podiatrist...gabapentin, which I declined, and a "sucks to be you" kind of attitude...I was told it is Lumbar radiculopathy, I do suffer from degenerative disc disease, lumbar...I have had that condition for years....it is all so confusing, the more I research, the worse it gets...I read a lot about peripheral neuropathy and those symptoms seem to fit...I live in Boston area, and am done with the conventional Dr's. that seem so far behind in new advancements and just want to push meds on me and nothing else...It is so frustrating, but I don't want to cave...you are the only Dr. that is helpful and not just posting an infomercial....I would even consider traveling to your clinic for a full evaluation and direction on what to do...a brief history of my situation is on the "statin" video, all the comments I read (except for that ONE, and I kind of lost it and my Irish got the best of me in my reply)...it was gut wrenching to read all the anguish in those people....I am really reaching out here and hoping to get on the right path...I am only64, but have always taken care of my health and body, and have a very structured and healthy diet...this is starting to get the best of me and I don't want to be the one that waited too long to seek help... thank you for all you do to help so many people...you epitomize everything that a doctor should be...
I read your comment on the "statin" video, thanks for that and thanks for your kind remarks. As far as consulting goes, I've had folks contact me as far away as California, Florida, even one or two from England. We have two options if you like. A Remote exam, where we can utilize technology (FB messenger or Skype) or a local one where you can come in for an exam. If you're interested, contact my staff at 434-977-5433 for more details, ok? Best of luck:)

I am in a wheelchair and I live in Mercedes, TX. I was fine before I went into an operation for an aneurysm close to my stomach. After the operation and waking up in the recovery room. I couldn't feel from my waist down. After one day, my feeling came back but I couldn't walk because of a dropped left foot. What kind of exercises can I do in a wheelchair to cure my dropped left foot?
Dear David Ruelas. I'm so sorry for your disability from the surgery. Sounds like the surgeon clipped the Peroneal Nerve. That's a branch off the sciatic nerve that controls the anterior tibialis muscle and others that flex the foot upwards. Clinical research gives about a 6 month window on drop foot so you need to move quickly. There are many things that can be done, but, again move quickly. AT MINIMUM as your surgeon to refer you to a PT for specific exercises. If you were in my clinic I'd refer to PT as well as put you on NERVE related therapies. Call me if you'd like a free consultation. 434-977-5433. Best of luck, B. Prax
We still may be able to help your body recover ... TO A DEGREE. Obviously if you keep taking the causitive drug, the problem will persist. I'd treat this more like taking as many other straws off the camels back. Make sense? Dr. Prax. 434-977-5433 for free consult to see if we can help.
What exercises do you have for the hands? I am taking Gabapentin and am doing exercises that were given to m by my Chiro, but the exercises aren't helping!
I exercise, but it does not help. Nothing helps except Gabapentin, and it only partially masks the pain while causing a feeling of being high on cannabis (available in a few places for neuropathy) and hand tremors. I do not sweat due to autonomic small fiber nerve damage. Diet does not help either, even after months of super expensive clean dieting. It is feasible that IVIg with ritumax could help for idiopathic neuropathy, which is likely autoimmune. Traditional neurology will not prescribe it, and it runs about $25,000 per annum. It could also possibly help to stimulate the spine and the area (from both ends) with a class IV laser and a class three laser for more sensitive tissue like mucous membranes and the genitals. The issue is nobody but the top 10% can afford what Chiros typically charge for laser ($35 per session thrice weekly and for dome of us the full body, and thus for years), and Obamacare or Medicaid insurance will not cover it, and we are often disabled from daily tasks due to nerve damage. Chiros charge more than disabled people can afford. Really, it is hopeless for idiopathic small fiber sufferers. Suicide is the only option for the stiffer and the burdened caretakers. Those with a known cause can improve.
I'm pretty sure I have done a vid on hand exercises. Do a search and let me know. Also, have you seen my book on Neuropathy? bprax www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526645523&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+prax
I just got it, and will be reading on it today. My feet are beginning to turn the purple look, toes are all numb. When you have no insurance and have to use free services; all you get is the band-aid approach. I'm trying to keep from losing my feet...
Randy Davis get on the paleo train and keep me posted on your improvement. a good sign that you're improving is that you start losing weight right away (unless you don't need to lose weight that is).
Omgoodness thanks....i was off all my meds and was walking 6 dayz a week....with my string shepherd....for a couple of years ....10,000 steps before 10 oclock ...i miss it so ....balance is a issue i have had quite a few falls luckily no broken bones ....im on meds again because i dont walk...so depressed and frightened ....wha t can i do .......

hi doc, I recently started a low sugar/card diet and have been loosing weight, my sugar has been very well controlled since doing this. my last a1c was 5.4, the problem now is I've been having this burning pain all over like my feet, legs, thigh, arms, hands, and my entire back...sometimes even my neck and buttocks. it was so bad at a point I could not sleep. been to er so many times...they said it's neuropathy. I notice when my sugar is not controlled I have no pain, but as soon I start to eat right and exercise all the pain comes back....please help, is the pain a sign that my nerves are healing?
MsPhapha its an simple but not so easy in the modern era solution.... avoid sugar like you are allergic to it and you will get better. average American consumes 160# of the stuff yet we are engineered for 10# maybe. bottom line, eat whole, unrefined FOOD!
Hello doctor I have diabetic neuropathy in hands and feet, arms , calf . I am 35 years old and live California can you recommend a clinic here that practices similar to what you do. Also some tips you can give me I don't what this to advance anymore. Thank you very much GOD BLESS
Hi and thanks for the comment. Due to the lockdowns we now do most of our neuropathy cases 100% through telemedicine so we may be able to help you out. if you are interested in finding out if you would be a good candidate email us at info@chronicarecharlottesville.com. meanwhile start looking into your diet particularly cutting back sugars and carbs. Best of luck to you and look forward to speaking with you soon. Sincerely Dr Brian prax
God bless you, just thank you so much. Neuropathy is a real curse. For me, the problem is just numbness like socks. I have been with A1C 6-5.7 for 6 years Only now realize that pre-diabetes can also cause this. I was also found to be sensitive to gluten, this also affects the absorption of vitamins and may make the situation worse Also beware of amalgam fillings, they contain mercury which causes neuropathy.
Thank you for sharing your experience with neuropathy. It sounds like you've been through a lot. Numbness and issues like those can be challenging, especially with pre-diabetes and gluten sensitivity in the mix. We recommend scheduling a consultation with us at reversingneuropathy.com or +1 434-977-5432 for a personalized assessment and advice tailored to your situation. Take care! 💖 - Reversing Neuropathy team
@@Reversing_Neuropathy Thanks for the reply and concern. I'm from Israel. In the meantime, I started a completely gluten-free diet But improvement may take time. I also started intermittent fasting and a low carb diet In order to lower the A1C levels to at least 5.3. I do brisk walks of half an hour to an hour every day and takes alpha lipoic acid every day. If I don't feel improvement in three months then I will contact them. Thanks again.
Happy to see your comment! It's truly inspiring to hear about your proactive steps with the gluten-free diet, intermittent fasting, and daily walks. 🚶♂️ Keep up the dedication with alpha lipoic acid-it sounds like you're really taking charge of your health. We're here cheering you on and ready to support you every step of the way. Take good care of yourself! 🌟 - Reversing Neuropathy team
I suffer from peripheral neuropathy After having bariatric surgery I currently have drop foot in my left foot and also drop Wrist in both of my hands. I currently have been tested far as vitamin deficiency and take vitamin B one supplement and have been like this for six months I cannot walk I’m currently in a wheelchair and also having physical therapy and occupational therapy.
Sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with peripheral neuropathy. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot, especially with drop foot and drop wrist in both hands. But it's great that you're already taking steps like physical therapy and occupational therapy. 💖 Keep at it! You're doing the right thing by addressing these issues head-on. Feel free to reach out to us here: reversingneuropathy.com if you need guidance. - 'Reversing Neuropathy' team
I had a back surgery in February of 2014 and the surgeon had to cut the nerves to get the bone spurs out. I had nerve damage and drop foot. I did learn to walk again with a cane and have to concentrate on every step I take to do heal first. In August of the same year I had breast cancer surgery. I was instructed to not walk very much and was put on a hormone. As a result of not being as active as I was before the breast surgery I developed stiffness and numbness in both feet and up my legs near my knees. Is is PN? In the last month I have had some feeling in the bottom of my right foot. Wow! First time in over three years. But I cannot get rid of the numbness and stiffness. My Neurologist does not know why they are stiff. My physical therapist she could not help any longer. I think that I have more nerve regeneration but I am unable to fell it because of the stiffness in my feet and legs. Can you give me an answer.
That's so called "modern western medicine" for you. Hopefully the surgeon and doctor discussed the possible negative outcomes of the surgeries before going through those procedures. Yes it is peripheral neuropathy by definition. Stiffness is your brain's interpretation of the damaged nerves' output. Most importantly, the question should be, can it be reversed or helped? That I wouldn't know unless I performed an exam and went over your medical history in more detail. Call if you'd like to discuss over the phone. 434-977-5433
Hi Dr Prax, my question is have your patients recovered from symptoms drop foot like symptoms caused by high BG by controlling their sugar with diet and exercise for a month. For me After about 20 minutes of walking/jogging my ankle goes numb and lifting my toes up becomes more difficult so the nerve has weakened or is being compressed I figure. Also can minor retina problems caused by high blood sugar also be reversed with strong BG control and excercise? Thank you!
I inject every three days 500mg b12 and put lozenges of 5000mg under my lip everyday. I go the gym and exercise three times a week and do yoga, I also walk and cycle allot. I'm low on pain allot seem to have gone from what I did, but the tingling it has increased. I'm in treatment for 6 months, wonder if I have a chance to heal 100%. Luckily allot of the pain is gone, felt like my vains had lava in them, but now it's just tingling in my legs and arms, annoying but could be far worse. Hope I can say in 2 years I'm healed, I'm working my ass off for it. My nerve damage is caused by a b12 deficiency and all the doctors I went told me it's in your head. Till it got so bad I felt like I was dying... 10 years of my life doctor's telling I'm crazy.... Yeah, I'm not, I know what's up. It's rare as a young adult, of course... Hope I can get back to normal, but I think I'm always screwed for life with nerve damage. I'm just thirty years old and been having pain since twenty.
You hit the nail on the head with "working my ass off for it", Rhezo. It does take hard work and consistent work! You may want to check out my (free) book on Reversing Neuropathy here - www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ Best, Dr. Prax

Hello Doctor! my legs are unable to bear my body weight. That led to suffrage in walking and eventually I discovered that now I am not able to climb also ! I am a diabetic . can u please help because I am a consulting a doctor but no improvement is found and the condition is becoming worse day by day. Please help.

My right foot is tingling pretty bad, by the end of the work day its painful. I try not to sit at work at all, I keep moving. I changed to a low carb diet over a month ago. I have been really good about sticking to it for 1 month +. My blood sugars have massively improved. I don't spike after meals anymore on low carb. My foot pain not so much.. But I think nerves are very slow to heal. I bought a foot massager hoping that my help in time. I also do stuff like ride my ebike to work 80% of the time.
Hey there, 'Reversing Neuropathy' team here. Thanks for the share! Remember, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to your body's natural healing process.
Hi there, Age 67 I've just been diagnosed with Idiopathic PN in fact the NHS neurologist suggested it had been there sometime although I first noticed 7 months ago. The problem is I already eat a good diet and exercise regularly through cycling walking and weight training 3 times a week. In fact the wife and I were camping in France for almost a month 16 weeks ago and for that whole period the neuropathy hardly registered. Went on long walks, cycled 3 cols including a non stop ascent of Alpe d'Huez plus pulled myself around three difficult sportif via ferrata. Still doing the exercise but since diagnosis a month ago it suddenly feels worse or maybe my head is telling me it's getting worse!
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we appreciate your dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It's not uncommon for perception to change after diagnosis, but rest assured, you're not alone in this. If you're experiencing increased discomfort or uncertainty, we recommend scheduling a consultation with us at reversingneuropathy.com or reaching out at +1 434-977-5432.

I started off thinking that I had ingrown toe nails in my big toe and than it moved to my little toes, and I thought it was due to the fact that I needed a c pac machine cause I snore HORRIBLEY and than whenI wake up sometimes my head hurts like I think due to lack of oxygen when I sleep. all I know is this is HORRIBLE!! now sometimes my fingers hurt and feel like they are frost bite.
Oh, yikes, this really sounds like neuropathy, Maryann. You might want to check out my book, "Reversing Neuropathy, Making the Impossible, Possible" - www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/
What if you got your neuropathy from chemo you were taking...? Mine literally hit like a ton of bricks 3 days after I received my 6th shot Velcade in my stomach.. My feet and toes and ankle and midway up my leg is numb and throbs constantly..and also stabbing.. electrical shocks..sometimes it feels like someone is trying to rip off my toenails.. it's absolutely horrible pain..and the burning.. OMG.. My hands...numb, throbbing, freezing, burning,..it goes to my elbows and it often feel like i have shingles...but I look and there's nothing there.. I guess what I want to know is does it make any difference how you got the peripheral neuropathy as far as the healing ?? they stopped the shots.. and I'm on a different chemo all together...💛
Yes, it does make a difference Free 4 U. I hope you are doing better. If you want more info on chemo induced neuropathy, I discuss it in my book, www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526645523&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+prax
Do you believe that it's important to stop exercising before the burning starts? My functional doctor/neurologist told me that I can heal the neuropathy if I stop pushing past the pain and rest before the burning starts. Anytime I try to exercise on my feet I end up in worse pain and cannot sleep.

If your neuropathy was caused by no absorbing B12 deficiency /pernicious anemia then B12 loading doses are key to reversing your neuropathy and then yes gentle exercise to begin recovery
@@Reversing_Neuropathy , I am non diabetic, I did plenty of running including many half mathons and played badminton almost every day. Shocked to know last week that I am having peripheral neirothy in feet. Numbness in feet's fingers at present. I am having B12 deficiency . Though non diabetic what may be the reason for PN. Is it reversible by correcting B 12 deficiency?
Hi Doctor, I'm a patient of Occipital Neuralgia and peripheral neuropathy. I'm a 38 year old female and a working woman. My neurologist has prescribed me Dothep 50mg daily. Can neoropathy lead to permanent nerve damage hence paralysis?...

I'm disappointed that I can't purchase a kindle copy of your Reversing Neuropathy book in Australia, it comes up as unavailable. Thanks for all your videos.
I'll look into it Warren. Thanks for letting me know about that. Also I've been working on an audible version which has been really fun but time-consuming. How would you like that option?
@@Reversing_Neuropathy Thanks Brian for your prompt response. Unfortunately in Australia we don't have clinics etc specialising in reversing neuropathy so we are so reliant on any information we can research. Any form of education you can supply on the subject would be great. I would appreciate you checking on the kindle book situation, please keep me informed if you make any progress there. Thanks again.
Not sure if you addressed the kindle situation or there was a glitch before but I have now been successful in my purchase of your book. Thanks and now for some reading, and I hope a improved pain free life.

3 years ago I was diagnosed with CIDP. Two neurologists said that. I have zero muscle weakness after 3 years, did not take meds, just low dose chelators. Now, I think the diagnosis was wrong, and the reason EMG showed slowing of the nerves in my right foot/leg is mild lymphedema of my right leg. The pain is now reduced and just appears to affect my heels. My podiatrist agrees with me and thinks it's due to plantar fasciitis and my heavy weight. So, my question is this: Am I right to think that lymphedema can cause misreading in EMG reports? Thanks
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's understandable to seek clarity regarding your diagnosis, especially after experiencing improvements with alternative approaches. Lymphedema can indeed impact nerve conduction studies, potentially leading to misinterpretations in EMG reports. Consulting with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly repeating the tests could provide more insights.

I am at a loss. I began having symptoms of neuropathy in my feet about a year ago (like pins and needles)It wasn't that bad, but recently I began to walk everyday to lower my resistance to insulin, and ever since i began walking, the symptoms are becoming worse. Ive wondered if its just pain in my feet because im fairly overweight, but its the sudden stabbing pains like pins and needles Ive always recognized as neuropathy. Everything Ive read says walking improves Neuropathy and/or reverses it.Am i missing something here? Anyone else experiencing this? Any feedback would be appreciated.
There are over 100 causes of PN.. Best to start looking for the cause(s). Have you seen my book on Neuropathy? bprax www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526645523&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+prax
Hello Dr. I have been experiencing all the symptoms as of about 5-6 months ago. 2 months ago I went keto. Haven’t seen much relief. Should I continue? How long could this take? Also exercising moderate daily. Thank you.
Yeah, stay the course. You may also need some technology to speed along the damage caused by your diabetes (assuming you have diabetes.). Go to reversingneuropathy.com and sign up for free webinar if you'd like to learn more about those technologies. Dr. Prax
if a person has type 2 diabetes and also have a herniated disc pinch nerve years before but having some pains or discomfort in they foot or upper body neck area into they shoulders does it mean its neuropathy or neck out of alignment? the person been type 2 since december according to the a1c test
LL Lewis by definition it would be called peripheral neuropathy because the peripheral nerves have been compromised. You may not have DIABETIC neuropathy though. Getting the proper diagnosis will be key.
i had recently been diagnosed with anxiety so they prescribed medicine to help me relax. but i feel this is whats causing my arms and legs to go numb and get a tingly feeling all over. i no longer take the meds. the meds they gave me made me feel numb maybe that is their purpose so the anxiety feeling will lessen.is it possible that these symptoms i am having now will go away? i did make a doc appt but that wont be until next week.
Yes, the body is an amazing thing, but so is pharmaceuticals in that they can cause so permanent injury. Get with your doc on ways to assist the body in healing itself.
That's a dang good question Brent, Thanks! Chemotherapy is out of your system a number of hours after you've had it given but the side effects can take up to about six months and in some cases years to a life time. So, in short, no the toxins, themselves are flushed out, but the damage they do remain.
hello Excuse me..🙇♀️ Do you know about neurology or anatomy? Because four years ago pit of the stomach Acupuncture medical accident Impossible to everyday life If nerve pain persists Is it possible to have neuropathy or change nerve pain ?? And if the sensory nerve is damaged, is recovery possible?

hi Dr ! i massaged my middle back with a tennis ball for 20 days and afterwards I noticed tingling in my hands and feet. what should it be ? what should I do ?
Brian A. Prax, DC i have been suffering from this problem since a month and I have stopped the tennis ball massage however the tingling and weakness remains the same.
I'm looking for a replacement exercise for leg extensions, and a replacement exercise for leg curls. The exercises must provide little to no pressure on the feet. Due to synergistic dominance reasons I will not be performing leg extensions, nor leg curls. Any ideas anyone? Thanks. 😎
Absolutely, we understand your concern. For leg extensions, you might try seated leg raises or resistance band leg kicks. For leg curls, consider glute bridges or hamstring curls on an exercise ball.

Dr. Pax, hi , I was diagnosed with diabetes in the first week of Jan with a sugar level of 534. I was immediately put on metformin and since I was having pain in my groin area I was also given gabapentine . Later my metformin was changed to a XR form, the slow release kind. I was at 135 pounds and now at 116. I was not having any leg pain or any signs of pen till then. Within a month of new kind of metformin I started having nerve pain in the feet which later developed into burning and walking became difficult. At night I am waking up at least 6to 8 times because of the burn and the pain in my legs. I am taking b12 and Alpha Lipoic Acid along with metformin. The skin on my legs below knee has become painful and super sensitive to touch. Even the touch of a sheet. I have stopped taking metformin for a few days now. Do you think that I will be able to reverse my conditions?

I'm not over training either because these all came on back to back to back and randomly my foot will get warm for one second

So sorry to hear all of those common symptoms of neuropathy, Linda. Electro therapy MAY be good. You'd be best to get examined by a practitioner who specializes in reversing neuropathy. Best of luck, B Prax. You might want to start with my book. HEre it is on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526645523&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+prax
I have PN in my hands and arms. I had discotomy @ c5 & c6 2 years ago. I did not develops the neuropathy until about a year ago. I hag am mri done and they said that my surgery is healing well. so no problems there. I was also told I have osteoarthritis in my neck. I am at the doctors to ask if I can exercise. I know this video mostly talks about pn in your feet but do you think it will help with pn in hands as well?
HI Karen, I love exercise! I am a triathlete and would definitely recommend it for you, but, take it slowly and most importantly, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If you are doing something that your body is saying "OUCH!", then either modify the exercise or STOP it. As always consult with someone who knows what they are doing. If your doc can't get you results, call our office to set up a free consultation. Neuropathy is pretty much all we do! Best of luck to you! Dr. Prax
I think mine is from alcohol I haven't drank since Christmas but I drank a lot st Patrick's day a few days later my right foot was burning and tingling on the sole I already have drop foot in my right foot my left foot is fine please reply
Hello Sisi Angel, Those symptoms do sound like Neuropathy, but should be checked by a specialist who knows how to do so. If you are interested I could consult with you over the phone, skype, FB, etc. Send an email to my assistant, Meagan to set it up. BP
It's a very large topic with over 100 known causes. I'd suggest studying my videos and others like it. Also you can check out my book, Reversing Neuropathy, Making the Impossible Possible (google it - on Amazon).

Thank you. Dr. Prax for your videos I found your videos by accident looking to find more about my problem. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about five years ago I have seen different specialist , my neuropathy is not diabetic related the last place I was referred to was a pain clinic which I told by the doctor that there nothing that can be done for me and I just have to live with it 😢 But I don’t want to live with it. After seeing your videos I have some hopes that it could be reversible. But the I live in western Canada so there is quite a distance between us. I don’t know what to do I wish I could come and see you. So question from you is do you know any doctor who does what you do and if not do you do phone or FaceTime appointments? I appreciate tremendously if you write back to me.I can give you my phone number if necessary Please help me !!

Dr. Prax...thank you for your dedication to all of us who suffer from neuropathy...I have sent you a comment on another video...I am just starting a deep dive into curing this unbearable pain...mine is in my feet and started about a year ago...I saw a neurologist and a podiatrist...gabapentin, which I declined, and a "sucks to be you" kind of attitude...I was told it is Lumbar radiculopathy, I do suffer from degenerative disc disease, lumbar...I have had that condition for years....it is all so confusing, the more I research, the worse it gets...I read a lot about peripheral neuropathy and those symptoms seem to fit...I live in Boston area, and am done with the conventional Dr's. that seem so far behind in new advancements and just want to push meds on me and nothing else...It is so frustrating, but I don't want to cave...you are the only Dr. that is helpful and not just posting an infomercial....I would even consider traveling to your clinic for a full evaluation and direction on what to do...a brief history of my situation is on the "statin" video, all the comments I read (except for that ONE, and I kind of lost it and my Irish got the best of me in my reply)...it was gut wrenching to read all the anguish in those people....I am really reaching out here and hoping to get on the right path...I am only64, but have always taken care of my health and body, and have a very structured and healthy diet...this is starting to get the best of me and I don't want to be the one that waited too long to seek help... thank you for all you do to help so many people...you epitomize everything that a doctor should be...
I read your comment on the "statin" video, thanks for that and thanks for your kind remarks. As far as consulting goes, I've had folks contact me as far away as California, Florida, even one or two from England. We have two options if you like.

I am in a wheelchair and I live in Mercedes, TX. I was fine before I went into an operation for an aneurysm close to my stomach. After the operation and waking up in the recovery room. I couldn't feel from my waist down. After one day, my feeling came back but I couldn't walk because of a dropped left foot. What kind of exercises can I do in a wheelchair to cure my dropped left foot?
Dear David Ruelas. I'm so sorry for your disability from the surgery. Sounds like the surgeon clipped the Peroneal Nerve. That's a branch off the sciatic nerve that controls the anterior tibialis muscle and others that flex the foot upwards. Clinical research gives about a 6 month window on drop foot so you need to move quickly. There are many things that can be done, but, again move quickly. AT MINIMUM as your surgeon to refer you to a PT for specific exercises. If you were in my clinic I'd refer to PT as well as put you on NERVE related therapies. Call me if you'd like a free consultation. 434-977-5433.
Best of luck,
B. Prax
Very helpful,thank you.
And thank YOU! bp
Hi Doc. My own peripheral came as a result of side effects of ARVs, It is painless but it has robbed the use of my legs. .
We still may be able to help your body recover ... TO A DEGREE. Obviously if you keep taking the causitive drug, the problem will persist. I'd treat this more like taking as many other straws off the camels back. Make sense? Dr. Prax. 434-977-5433 for free consult to see if we can help.
What exercises do you have for the hands? I am taking Gabapentin and am doing exercises that were given to m by my Chiro, but the exercises aren't helping!
richard rose honestly my hands are a bigger problem then my feet. Is the gabapentin helping your hands, im interested
I exercise, but it does not help. Nothing helps except Gabapentin, and it only partially masks the pain while causing a feeling of being high on cannabis (available in a few places for neuropathy) and hand tremors. I do not sweat due to autonomic small fiber nerve damage. Diet does not help either, even after months of super expensive clean dieting. It is feasible that IVIg with ritumax could help for idiopathic neuropathy, which is likely autoimmune. Traditional neurology will not prescribe it, and it runs about $25,000 per annum. It could also possibly help to stimulate the spine and the area (from both ends) with a class IV laser and a class three laser for more sensitive tissue like mucous membranes and the genitals. The issue is nobody but the top 10% can afford what Chiros typically charge for laser ($35 per session thrice weekly and for dome of us the full body, and thus for years), and Obamacare or Medicaid insurance will not cover it, and we are often disabled from daily tasks due to nerve damage. Chiros charge more than disabled people can afford. Really, it is hopeless for idiopathic small fiber sufferers. Suicide is the only option for the stiffer and the burdened caretakers. Those with a known cause can improve.
I'm pretty sure I have done a vid on hand exercises. Do a search and let me know. Also, have you seen my book on Neuropathy?

hi doc, I recently started a low sugar/card diet and have been loosing weight, my sugar has been very well controlled since doing this. my last a1c was 5.4, the problem now is I've been having this burning pain all over like my feet, legs, thigh, arms, hands, and my entire back...sometimes even my neck and buttocks. it was so bad at a point I could not sleep. been to er so many times...they said it's neuropathy. I notice when my sugar is not controlled I have no pain, but as soon I start to eat right and exercise all the pain comes back....please help, is the pain a sign that my nerves are healing?
MsPhapha its an simple but not so easy in the modern era solution.... avoid sugar like you are allergic to it and you will get better. average American consumes 160# of the stuff yet we are engineered for 10# maybe. bottom line, eat whole, unrefined FOOD!
Hello doctor I have diabetic neuropathy in hands and feet, arms , calf . I am 35 years old and live California can you recommend a clinic here that practices similar to what you do. Also some tips you can give me I don't what this to advance anymore. Thank you very much GOD BLESS
Hi and thanks for the comment. Due to the lockdowns we now do most of our neuropathy cases 100% through telemedicine so we may be able to help you out. if you are interested in finding out if you would be a good candidate email us at info@chronicarecharlottesville.com. meanwhile start looking into your diet particularly cutting back sugars and carbs. Best of luck to you and look forward to speaking with you soon. Sincerely Dr Brian prax
I like you. In a morass of UA-cam con merchants re. Neuropathy, your a good guy.
God bless you, just thank you so much.
Neuropathy is a real curse. For me, the problem is just numbness like socks.
I have been with A1C 6-5.7 for 6 years
Only now realize that pre-diabetes can also cause this.
I was also found to be sensitive to gluten, this also affects the absorption of vitamins and may make the situation worse
Also beware of amalgam fillings, they contain mercury which causes neuropathy.
Thank you for sharing your experience with neuropathy. It sounds like you've been through a lot. Numbness and issues like those can be challenging, especially with pre-diabetes and gluten sensitivity in the mix. We recommend scheduling a consultation with us at reversingneuropathy.com or +1 434-977-5432 for a personalized assessment and advice tailored to your situation. Take care! 💖

@@Reversing_Neuropathy
Thanks for the reply and concern.
I'm from Israel.
In the meantime, I started a completely gluten-free diet
But improvement may take time.
I also started intermittent fasting and a low carb diet
In order to lower the A1C levels to at least 5.3.
I do brisk walks of half an hour to an hour every day
and takes alpha lipoic acid every day.
If I don't feel improvement in three months then I will contact them.
Thanks again.
Happy to see your comment! It's truly inspiring to hear about your proactive steps with the gluten-free diet, intermittent fasting, and daily walks. 🚶♂️ Keep up the dedication with alpha lipoic acid-it sounds like you're really taking charge of your health.

I had a back surgery in February of 2014 and the surgeon had to cut the nerves to get the bone spurs out. I had nerve damage and drop foot. I did learn to walk again with a cane and have to concentrate on every step I take to do heal first. In August of the same year I had breast cancer surgery. I was instructed to not walk very much and was put on a hormone. As a result of not being as active as I was before the breast surgery I developed stiffness and numbness in both feet and up my legs near my knees. Is is PN? In the last month I have had some feeling in the bottom of my right foot. Wow! First time in over three years.
But I cannot get rid of the numbness and stiffness. My Neurologist does not know why they are stiff. My physical therapist she could not help any longer. I think that I have more nerve regeneration but I am unable to fell it because of the stiffness in my feet and legs. Can you give me an answer.
That's so called "modern western medicine" for you. Hopefully the surgeon and doctor discussed the possible negative outcomes of the surgeries before going through those procedures. Yes it is peripheral neuropathy by definition. Stiffness is your brain's interpretation of the damaged nerves' output. Most importantly, the question should be, can it be reversed or helped? That I wouldn't know unless I performed an exam and went over your medical history in more detail. Call if you'd like to discuss over the phone. 434-977-5433
Hi Dr Prax, my question is have your patients recovered from symptoms drop foot like symptoms caused by high BG by controlling their sugar with diet and exercise for a month. For me After about 20 minutes of walking/jogging my ankle goes numb and lifting my toes up becomes more difficult so the nerve has weakened or is being compressed I figure. Also can minor retina problems caused by high blood sugar also be reversed with strong BG control and excercise? Thank you!
I inject every three days 500mg b12 and put lozenges of 5000mg under my lip everyday. I go the gym and exercise three times a week and do yoga, I also walk and cycle allot. I'm low on pain allot seem to have gone from what I did, but the tingling it has increased. I'm in treatment for 6 months, wonder if I have a chance to heal 100%. Luckily allot of the pain is gone, felt like my vains had lava in them, but now it's just tingling in my legs and arms, annoying but could be far worse. Hope I can say in 2 years I'm healed, I'm working my ass off for it. My nerve damage is caused by a b12 deficiency and all the doctors I went told me it's in your head. Till it got so bad I felt like I was dying... 10 years of my life doctor's telling I'm crazy.... Yeah, I'm not, I know what's up. It's rare as a young adult, of course... Hope I can get back to normal, but I think I'm always screwed for life with nerve damage. I'm just thirty years old and been having pain since twenty.

My right foot is tingling pretty bad, by the end of the work day its painful. I try not to sit at work at all, I keep moving. I changed to a low carb diet over a month ago. I have been really good about sticking to it for 1 month +. My blood sugars have massively improved. I don't spike after meals anymore on low carb. My foot pain not so much.. But I think nerves are very slow to heal. I bought a foot massager hoping that my help in time. I also do stuff like ride my ebike to work 80% of the time.
Hey there, 'Reversing Neuropathy' team here. Thanks for the share! Remember, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to your body's natural healing process.
Hi there, Age 67 I've just been diagnosed with Idiopathic PN in fact the NHS neurologist suggested it had been there sometime although I first noticed 7 months ago. The problem is I already eat a good diet and exercise regularly through cycling walking and weight training 3 times a week. In fact the wife and I were camping in France for almost a month 16 weeks ago and for that whole period the neuropathy hardly registered. Went on long walks, cycled 3 cols including a non stop ascent of Alpe d'Huez plus pulled myself around three difficult sportif via ferrata. Still doing the exercise but since diagnosis a month ago it suddenly feels worse or maybe my head is telling me it's getting worse!

I started off thinking that I had ingrown toe nails in my big toe and than it moved to my little toes, and I thought it was due to the fact that I needed a c pac machine cause I snore HORRIBLEY and than whenI wake up sometimes my head hurts like I think due to lack of oxygen when I sleep. all I know is this is HORRIBLE!! now sometimes my fingers hurt and feel like they are frost bite.

What if you got your neuropathy from chemo you were taking...? Mine literally hit like a ton of bricks 3 days after I received my 6th shot Velcade in my stomach.. My feet and toes and ankle and midway up my leg is numb and throbs constantly..and also stabbing.. electrical shocks..sometimes it feels like someone is trying to rip off my toenails.. it's absolutely horrible pain..and the burning.. OMG..
My hands...numb, throbbing, freezing, burning,..it goes to my elbows and it often feel like i have shingles...but I look and there's nothing there..
I guess what I want to know is does it make any difference how you got the peripheral neuropathy as far as the healing ?? they stopped the shots.. and I'm on a different chemo all together...💛
Yes, it does make a difference Free 4 U. I hope you are doing better. If you want more info on chemo induced neuropathy, I discuss it in my book, www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526645523&sr=8-1&keywords=brian+prax
Do you believe that it's important to stop exercising before the burning starts? My functional doctor/neurologist told me that I can heal the neuropathy if I stop pushing past the pain and rest before the burning starts. Anytime I try to exercise on my feet I end up in worse pain and cannot sleep.
Yes, stop pushing past the pain, but keep exercising. Get on great, low sugar/carb diet right away

If your neuropathy was caused by no absorbing B12 deficiency /pernicious anemia then B12 loading doses are key to reversing your neuropathy and then yes gentle exercise to begin recovery
That's correct Nic, thanks for the add.
@@Reversing_Neuropathy , I am non diabetic, I did plenty of running including many half mathons and played badminton almost every day. Shocked to know last week that I am having peripheral neirothy in feet. Numbness in feet's fingers at present. I am having B12 deficiency . Though non diabetic what may be the reason for PN. Is it reversible by correcting B 12 deficiency?

I'm disappointed that I can't purchase a kindle copy of your Reversing Neuropathy book in Australia, it comes up as unavailable. Thanks for all your videos.
I'll look into it Warren. Thanks for letting me know about that. Also I've been working on an audible version which has been really fun but time-consuming. How would you like that option?
@@Reversing_Neuropathy Thanks Brian for your prompt response.
Unfortunately in Australia we don't have clinics etc specialising in reversing neuropathy so we are so reliant on any information we can research. Any form of education you can supply on the subject would be great. I would appreciate you checking on the kindle book situation, please keep me informed if you make any progress there. Thanks again.

You can check out my book here. In it, I share lots of ways to begin your reversal of the neuropathy - www.amazon.com/Reversing-Neuropathy-Making-Impossible-Possible/dp/1974027910/
3 years ago I was diagnosed with CIDP. Two neurologists said that. I have zero muscle weakness after 3 years, did not take meds, just low dose chelators.
Now, I think the diagnosis was wrong, and the reason EMG showed slowing of the nerves in my right foot/leg is mild lymphedema of my right leg. The pain is now reduced and just appears to affect my heels. My podiatrist agrees with me and thinks it's due to plantar fasciitis and my heavy weight.
So, my question is this: Am I right to think that lymphedema can cause misreading in EMG reports? Thanks
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's understandable to seek clarity regarding your diagnosis, especially after experiencing improvements with alternative approaches. Lymphedema can indeed impact nerve conduction studies, potentially leading to misinterpretations in EMG reports. Consulting with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly repeating the tests could provide more insights. Feel free to reach out to us here: reversingneuropathy.com if you need guidance. Wishing you continued improvement and wellness. 🙏

I am at a loss. I began having symptoms of neuropathy in my feet about a year ago (like pins and needles)It wasn't that bad, but recently I began to walk everyday to lower my resistance to insulin, and ever since i began walking, the symptoms are becoming worse. Ive wondered if its just pain in my feet because im fairly overweight, but its the sudden stabbing pains like pins and needles Ive always recognized as neuropathy. Everything Ive read says walking improves Neuropathy and/or reverses it.Am i missing something here? Anyone else experiencing this? Any feedback would be appreciated.
There are over 100 causes of PN.. Best to start looking for the cause(s). Have you seen my book on Neuropathy?

Hello Dr. I have been experiencing all the symptoms as of about 5-6 months ago. 2 months ago I went keto. Haven’t seen much relief. Should I continue? How long could this take? Also exercising moderate daily. Thank you.
Yeah, stay the course. You may also need some technology to speed along the damage caused by your diabetes (assuming you have diabetes.). Go to reversingneuropathy.com and sign up for free webinar if you'd like to learn more about those technologies. Dr. Prax
if a person has type 2 diabetes and also have a herniated disc pinch nerve years before but having some pains or discomfort in they foot or upper body neck area into they shoulders does it mean its neuropathy or neck out of alignment? the person been type 2 since december according to the a1c test
LL Lewis by definition it would be called peripheral neuropathy because the peripheral nerves have been compromised. You may not have DIABETIC neuropathy though. Getting the proper diagnosis will be key.
i had recently been diagnosed with anxiety so they prescribed medicine to help me relax. but i feel this is whats causing my arms and legs to go numb and get a tingly feeling all over. i no longer take the meds. the meds they gave me made me feel numb maybe that is their purpose so the anxiety feeling will lessen.is it possible that these symptoms i am having now will go away? i did make a doc appt but that wont be until next week.
Yes, the body is an amazing thing, but so is pharmaceuticals in that they can cause so permanent injury. Get with your doc on ways to assist the body in healing itself.
Please excuse my ignorance pertaining to peripheral neuropathy. Are the toxins from chemo that caused it still present in the blood or bone
That's a dang good question Brent, Thanks! Chemotherapy is out of your system a number of hours after you've had it given but the side effects can take up to about six months and in some cases years to a life time. So, in short, no the toxins, themselves are flushed out, but the damage they do remain.

hi Dr !
i massaged my middle back with a tennis ball for 20 days and afterwards I noticed tingling in my hands and feet.
what should it be ?
what should I do ?
Harjot Saini you may have over done it...try and back off for a week then start again EASILY.
Brian A. Prax, DC i have been suffering from this problem since a month and I have stopped the tennis ball massage however the tingling and weakness remains the same.
I'm looking for a replacement exercise for leg extensions, and a replacement exercise for leg curls. The exercises must provide little to no pressure on the feet. Due to synergistic dominance reasons I will not be performing leg extensions, nor leg curls. Any ideas anyone? Thanks. 😎
Absolutely, we understand your concern. For leg extensions, you might try seated leg raises or resistance band leg kicks. For leg curls, consider glute bridges or hamstring curls on an exercise ball. Remember, it's essential to listen to your body and adapt exercises to your comfort level. If you have any further questions or need personalized guidance, feel free to reach out to us for a consultation at reversingneuropathy.com or call +1 434-977-5432. Take care! 🙏

Thank you for your truths encouragement. I've been dealing with this neverending horror fo over 2 decades. I acknowledge that I will be in pain the rest of my life but it's so hard to accept. I'm grinding my teeth right now. I believe in God and miracles but it doesn't look like I'm on the deserving list so THAT won't be happening.
Mitchell, please stop beating yourself up, you beautiful human, you! The body has a built-in survival mechanism that you need to put to work for you. There is one thing I can promise you.

I know I'm posting in an old video but I've been told that once the nerves are damaged that's it ?
Totally NOT TRUE and old thinking.

Dr. Pax, hi , I was diagnosed with diabetes in the first week of Jan with a sugar level of 534. I was immediately put on metformin and since I was having pain in my groin area I was also given gabapentine . Later my metformin was changed to a XR form, the slow release kind. I was at 135 pounds and now at 116. I was not having any leg pain or any signs of pen till then. Within a month of new kind of metformin I started having nerve pain in the feet which later developed into burning and walking became difficult. At night I am waking up at least 6to 8 times because of the burn and the pain in my legs. I am taking b12 and Alpha Lipoic Acid along with metformin. The skin on my legs below knee has become painful and super sensitive to touch. Even the touch of a sheet. I have stopped taking metformin for a few days now. Do you think that I will be able to reverse my conditions?
Yes, it's POSSIBLE. The body has a built in survival mechanism that you need to put to work for you. There is one thing I can promise you.

I have a feeling like I am walking on a water bed also my body feels like I feel seasick is electro treatment good also I feel too heavy
So sorry to hear all of those common symptoms of neuropathy, Linda. Electro therapy MAY be good. You'd be best to get examined by a practitioner who specializes in reversing neuropathy. Best of luck, B Prax. You might want to start with my book.

I have PN in my hands and arms. I had discotomy @ c5 & c6 2 years ago. I did not develops the neuropathy until about a year ago. I hag am mri done and they said that my surgery is healing well. so no problems there. I was also told I have osteoarthritis in my neck. I am at the doctors to ask if I can exercise. I know this video mostly talks about pn in your feet but do you think it will help with pn in hands as well?
HI Karen,
I love exercise! I am a triathlete and would definitely recommend it for you, but, take it slowly and most importantly, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If you are doing something that your body is saying "OUCH!", then either modify the exercise or STOP it. As always consult with someone who knows what they are doing. If your doc can't get you results, call our office to set up a free consultation. Neuropathy is pretty much all we do! Best of luck to you!

Those symptoms do sound like Neuropathy, but should be checked by a specialist who knows how to do so. If you are interested I could consult with you over the phone, skype, FB, etc. Send an email to my assistant, Meagan to set it up.

doc i donot have numbness but mild kind of weakness in my feet after isoniazide and my legs feel numb more easily than before..
hands feel very light ..
Pratik Pokhrel. A quick Google search revealed this;
Contact your doctor if you experience serious side effects of isoniazid including an allergic reaction, unusual weakness or fatigue, yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, numbness or tingling in your hands or feet, seizures, or confusion or abnormal behavior.
Weakness is a serious reaction...Contact the doctor who prescribed this right away, OK?
Best of luck,

dr brian how do you define weakness??
You are not as strong as you once were. Please contact your doctor Pratik.

Thank you. Dr. Prax for your videos I found your videos by accident looking to find more about my problem. I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about five years ago I have seen different specialist , my neuropathy is not diabetic related the last place I was referred to was a pain clinic which I told by the doctor that there nothing that can be done for me and I just have to live with it 😢
But I don’t want to live with it. After seeing your videos I have some hopes that it could be reversible. But the I live in western Canada so there is quite a distance between us. I don’t know what to do I wish I could come and see you. So question from you is do you know any doctor who does what you do and if not do you do phone or FaceTime appointments? I appreciate tremendously if you write back to me.I can give you my phone number if necessary
Please help me !!
