How Can Peripheral Neuropathy Be Treated?

My primary doctor suspects I have peripheral neuropathy but a couple of the neurologists I have went to don’t seem to take it too serious. Now my feet are even more numb and I can’t move my toes and my legs and feet feel freezing cold to the touch of others and my toes were blue. My doctor is now checking for blood clots in my legs. I had MRIs done and they showed herniated disc and a bulge in my 1 2 and 3 vertebrae’s and I have been dealing with extreme excessive stress and anxiety over many years. Is the stress causing the peripheral neuropathy or the neck or both?

Hello,

If these are lumbar vertebrae, then yes, they can be related to your feet problems. Vascular problems may be related too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
