Pain, burning, numbness, tingling, cramping and imbalance can all result from Peripheral or Diabetic Neuropathy. Traditional insurance-based guidelines involve anti-seizure medications such as Gabapentin, Neurontin, Lyrica to address the burning, numbness, tingling, and cramping. Many people are disappointed with the results and are looking for a better solution. When neuropathy leads to pain, it is common to receive opioid pain medications such as Norco, Tramadol, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, Percocet, Morphine or a Fentanyl patch. Again, many people are concerned with this approach, noting the high rate of Drug Overdose Deaths due to Opiod Drugs.

Often it is recommended that an EMG is performed in order to diagnose neuropathy. The problem however is that there are large fiber neuropathies and small sensory neuropathies. The EMG is for large fiber neuropathies. Those with small sensory fiber neuropathies that often lead to the pain, burning, numbness, tingling, cramping and imbalance, are not properly tested.
