Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hi : I know it is probably different but I had Neuropathy because of nerve damage from severe herniated disc.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 , I wish so much that the chemo would just do its thing to the cancer cells and leave our nerve ending alone. Yes, it is good that we do not have it in our fingers. I guess we can be thankful for that. I hope it gets better with time. It's supposed too.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I don't remember who asked about neuropathy. Neuropathy is abnormal sensations due to nerve damage. They can include numbness, tingling, burning, stabbing and more. Neuropathic pain refers to the painful sensations. You can have neuropathic pain anywhere in your body--like shingles, intercostal neuralgia (pain along ribs), trigeminal neuralgia from damage to the 5th cranial nerve, peripheral usually referring to extremities, feet most commonly, although my hands are starting to show symptoms. Here are a couple of websites. The first one, The American Chronic Pain Association, has an excellent section on neuropathic pain with a nice brochure you can download. On the Home Page, look for "It Takes Nerve." http://www.theacpa.org/# The other website is for The Neuropathy Association. I haven't had the chance to do more than scan the info. http://www.neuropathy.org/site/PageServer Hope this helps whoever was inquiring! Ramblin' Rose Moderator All-in-one PC Care.
