I've not been offered that procedure but can empatheise as I have nueropathy I take Lyrica but I feel this treats the symptoms but does nothing about the cause. I also have severe Diverticulosis and strangely the nerve pain I experience in that area seems to impact on other areas of my body e.g. my feet. Recently I've developed areas of numbness in my feet which get very achey. I can no longer go on the Health Walks I used to enjoy. My Dr has now retired and when I asked the new doctor if I could be referred back to the hospital to investigate the possibility of having a colon reduction op she became quite defensive and said it wasn't necessary and gave me another prescription for more Lyrical. I don't want to take so much Lyrics that my head feels like cotton wool and feel there should be a way to alleviate the cause of the pain & numbness. I'm 60 and hope I've got a lot more living to do yet. I'd be grateful for any advice. I'm sorry if I've piggy backed on your thread I've just joined Gransnet today so not of the etiquette as I'm rather a technophobe.
