A member asked:
Causes? bilateral lower emg/ncv diagnosed chronic ongoing denervation & demyelinating neuropathy in ls area (not diabetic; no autoimmune; don't drink)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answers: Based upon the above, there may be some degree of lumbosacral stenosis, or even multilevel discogenic problems. A cauda equina syndrome might be an answer. But a far better explanation is a peripheral neuropathy of the axonal type, if no structural problem can be found on lumbar imaging.

A member asked:
What amount of alcohol consumption (if any) is safe for a patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy? Most of the literature I've found has to do with alcohol abuse; is moderate, occasional drinking safe in any capacity for a symptomatic individual?
