I’m new to neuropathy. Pain I performsis muscles which skips the legs and goes to bottom of only left foot ( tingling and pain). I’ve had two epideral injections and will have the third tomorrow . I take Gabapenta 300mg TID. Ride a bike everyday for Five miles ( bike seems to help the best)…. CT scan shows a small amount of stenosis with arthritis tossed into the mix . Looking at scan it doesn’t seem bad enough to create all this discomfort … it is getting to be less and less pain but I’ve learned how to manage the pain .when tingly and pain get bad I put my feet in hot water for a minute or two and that makes the tingling go away… but it does rear its ugly head again at some point during day . It’s just a temporary fix …

Hello @barbarabrown831 and @mikem75, I would like to welcome you both to Connect and thank you for sharing your experience with others. I shared my experience in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

Another good source to learn more about treatments that may provide some relief is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.

Have you done any research on your condition for alternative or complementary treatments?
