down home, my dh takes Gabapentin for his feet and leg and hand Neuropathy. He takes the highest dosage allowed. It has helped a bit but makes him tired. I have not heard about the diet sodas causing tingling and burning or even affecting the nerves. I will have to look that up.
chigrl, I am so sorry to hear about all that you have had to go through. Can't they just start from scratch and give you another type of knee?? It just doesn't seem feasible that you are left in such a state. I would be complaining to the board of health or someone that would listen, even your insurance company. You need to get things working. Did you have physical therapy, I'm sure you did. Oh gosh, complain, complain. Someone needs to get this right.
My cousin lives in Texas and loves her Ortho doc. maybe I could get a name?
