small fiber neuropathy symptoms-surgery of no surgery, going to the extreme in treating neuropathy.
As the patient, it is commonly made
mistake to want to give your health over to the doctor and just have him or her
take care of it. For this small fiberneuropathy symptoms reason, patients all too often readily agree to a
surgical approach as the solution for their problem.
Surgeons want to do surgery. They
have been well trained to do surgery, and are indeed good at what they do.
Despite this fact, you must not overlook your part in the equation; which is to
take the responsibility for your case and not be misled into thinking that
surgery is cure all for your problem.
In terms of peripheral neuropathy,
often times the patient is far worse off after surgery has been done. Once a
person has had surgery performed however, there is no option of going back to
where they were before.
This explained, there is indeed a
surgical procedure which may be helpful for your neuropathy problem. You must
however understand the information that follows before making any decisions
that include surgery for peripheral neuropathy, as surgery in my experience is
the most extreme form of treatment for the neuropathy condition.
The surgical procedure being
referenced for peripheral neuropathy is known as tarsal tunnel surgery for
nerve decompression. Foot surgeons will often promote this approach in good
faith, not knowing what else to do for the case.
To be clear, as a first line
approach to neuropathy, surgery is a very UNWISE decision. Even in the rare
cases where the posterior tibia nerve and its plantar branches may be suffering
from hard tissue compression in the tarsal tunnel near the ankle, the expected
relief will probably not be forthcoming after surgery.
The causes for neuropathy, as
outlined in the guide peripheral neuropathy: the mystery unlocked, which is
part of my neuropathy solution program, are probably also present with the
person who has posterior tibial nerve compression.
Surgery in and of itself will not
correct this issues. The patient must correct them himself or herself first.
The treatment and management procedures presented in the neuropathy solution
program must be implemented first, in order for the nerves to regain a
reasonable amount of cellular tissue health before the surgery is performed.
If this order of priority is indeed
followed, the nerves will be healthier and consequently respond much more
quickly and completely after the decompression surgery is performed, although
in most cases, the surgery will become altogether unnecessary.
It should be remembered that foot
surgery-or its equivalent in the hands- for the treatment of neuropathy
symptoms is a high risk procedure that must not be taken lightly, or
unconditionally imply on the advice of a surgeon.
With this in mind, a second opinion
should always be sought before a patient consent to surgery. Remember, the
responsibility for this decision is the patients after all is said and done.
It should also be noted that the
recovery period after such surgery is usually at least one year, and is very
often accompanied by poor healing, infection and other serious complications.
What’s more, as mentioned earlier,
if this surgical approach is done before the nerves been put into a healthy
environment as outlined in the neuropathy solution program a very poor and
unsatisfying outcome is almost certain to result.
My recommendation is to attempt
bringing the unhealthy nerves back into a healthy environment FIRST, by
strictly following the procedures and methods taught in the neuropathy solution
program.
If, after six months, the small fiber neuropathy symptoms neuropathy
symptoms persist at an unacceptable level, which is unlikely, then a patient
should begin a diligent process of research in consideration of the tarsal
tunnel decompression surgery, or equivalent hand surgery, under the direction
of a good surgeon.
