What is the link between the covid-19 vaccine and peripheral neuropathy in Charleston SC? The NIH (National Institutes for Health) Jan 2023, published findings that the Covid -19 vaccines can cause small fiber peripheral neuropathy of the feet along with other neurologic disorders. It has been theorized that it caused an autoimmune response which led to PN. This acknowledgment can help us as clinicians to speculate on what would otherwise be classified as "idiopathic" (unknown) origin. It would be highly likely that those that have comorbidities such as diabetes would be even more susceptible to its onset.
Treatment Approaches in Charleston SC
Regardless of the origin the typical medical treatment would be painkillers such as Gabapentin. There are no medications that will treat the underlying cause.
Fortunately, for many, regenerative options exist.
