Question 4

does the prescription drug metanx  cause neuropathy to get worse before any improvement is noticed? i am a type ii diabetic and was recently diagnosed with mild neuropathy in my feet. i was prescribed metanx. i noticed that my discomfort in my feet got wo

Accepted Answer

Metanx : Metanx should not cause you to get worse but in my view it is  expensive and of very minimal benefit. Metanx has not been shown to be better than a combination of b vitamins. 
There are far more effective lower cost medications for pain from diabetic neuropathy. Imipramine, gabapentin, cymbalta, and Lyrica (pregabalin) are the main ones. 
I find that most (about 95%) people get substantial relief with low dose Imipramine taken at bedtime. It costs pennies.

Accepted Answer

Not likely: HSV 1 i.e. herpes labialis or cold sores, is extremely common and rarely causes any significant complications like neuritis.

If you havent had any workup done for your neuritis, you should get a referral to Neurologist, who can do imaging study with MRI of brain and spine to detect any nerve compression to be the cause of your neuritis.

In most cases, physical therapy can improve symptoms.!
