On days when my feet are particularly tingly or burning, I put on a pair of Darn Tough socks. They seem to have just the right amount of compression to help a lot.

Some time ago, I saw an ad for "diabetic socks". Since neuropathy often follows diabetes and since they are inexpensive, I ordered set from Amazon. After using them for awhile, including going to bed with them on, I have ordered two more sets. I have found they have a helpful amount of compression . Good luck.

Statins are one of the major causes of peripheral neuropathy

I have been suffering from neuropathy from unknown cause for almost 3 years. And yes I think I have tried almost all of the snake oil salesmen cures.
So far I don’t know of anything that has really helped my pain.
I take Gabapentin and hydrocodeine for my pain. Best I’ve found.
Been on the doctor merry-go-road so long. Think I’ve tried them all. Been to chiropractors, acupuncture docs, 3 different neurologists, on my 3rd pain management doctor with no relief.

Hi memyselfi!
I don't have cholesterol problems but I will remember statins and PN if the situation arises as there is a chance cholesterol will rise as we age. I am 61 for 46 more days. Yes, I'm already counting! LOL
Once diagnosed with PN (about 4 months ago) I've graduated my Gabapentin to 2700mg per day. I add Cat's Claw (a vine that grows in the Amazon which has helped issues like arthritis for hundreds of years). I also include marijuana which enhances Gabapentin quite nicely. In the eve, I take a cocktail of whiskey.
The pain is significantly less, although the last three days the PN has tested my teeth and jaw. Ibuprofen takes that down thankfully.
I am planning on bow hunting and can draw back and shoot pretty well. I'm not where I want to be but that is a work in progress. I'm happy that I can sleep for a few hours at a time.
So best regards to all who read this and thank you memyselfi for your input!
Cheers,
Jill the Pill

My husband has had pn from chest to feet for five years. He recently suddenly lost ability to walk and had worsening hyper reflexia and clonus. He was rushed to UCSF and they are looking at b12! They are studying if b12 can look normal in blood but not be reaching the cells. Waiting for results. This is apparently a rather new study. Just passing info on. Glad the local neurologist knew about the study. Unfortunately the spinal cord lesions and demyalization have progressed from c1 to T12 so pretty involved. He has been diagnosed in past as having transverse myelitis.

Has anyone tried “Mama Bear Oasis” cream. It’s a magnesium based cream for your feet?

Contact Loma Linda medical neuropathy clinic free video call they have testing and treatment with 90% improvement/ results
I'm going God willing.

Has anyone tried the Calmare therapy treatments. This is done at a neurologist's office and not covered by insurance. I am thinking about trying it. It's a big tens unit that is suppose to take pain signals awy from your body.
