neurothopy
(2 discussions)
My husband is a heart transplant recipient and he has diabetes.
He has been diagnosed with neurothopy.
His foot doctor has prescribed neurontin.300mg twice a day.
It does not seem to be helping he has a hard time walking around you can’t touch his feet.
Should I take him to a neurologist to see if they can do anything for him.
I am at a lost PLEASE HELP

I am sorry he is having this very frustrating problem. I use Neurontin for patients with neuropathy with good results. It is generally thought that less than 900 mg/daily is sub-therapeutic. I will add that I have several older folks who swear that 100 mg at bedtime takes care of the problem. I recommend he see a neurologist. There are even some pharmacists who can compound a topical medication for the neuropathic pain. Good luck
