How Can Peripheral Neuropathy Be Treated?
I was put on prolia one year ago for severe osteoporosis R/T chemotherapy and taking Letrozole estrogen blocker. I have neuropathy in my feet , experienced bone pain and changes in my once perfect cholesterol . I am 66 year old breast cancer survivor. My gyn doctor mentioned Evista as better choice?

Hello,
They are not related to peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetes, thyroid disease, alcoholism, bad diet, and B12 deficiency can cause peripheral neuropathy and there are a lot of good medicines that do not fix it but help the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
