Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am on three heart medications and just had my 3rd pace maker and now it is humming. I have neuropathy in my legs & feet because the first pacemaker the Dr put the lead wire on wrong thus it never worked for 5 years.Kept going back to mt cardilogist, finally was told to go to another Dr recommended by hospital, & he agreed it never worked .He put me on 2 heart meds to strengen the heart muscle as he said I only had a short time to live. He put in pacemaker, defibulator plus a 3rd wire. Was in 3 years started vibrating then humming sent me to Ohio Cleveland Clinic Dr felt it was a nerve problem but after 10 months was replaced and found it was totally encased with scar tissue. Now this 3rd one is a problem! The neuropathy is getting worse? Was sent to a nerve Dr who wanted to put needles in then stemulate nerves but had that done which didn't work. One Dr put me on gabapentin? Which of the 10 side affects I had 9 of them. New Dr. wants to but me on Duloxetine which they want $87.50 but some side affects like other drug!
