So I’m in the same boat - neuropathy in both feet, non-diabetic and continues to get worse.
I work on my feet and up to 8 hours. I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit( high arches, narrow feet and hammertoes …
Had foot surgery 10 years ago.
I have read very positive reviews about Calmare or “ Scrambler” therapy. Painless, non invasive and drug free. Developed by 2 Johns Hopkins doctors- approved by FDA. 15 years - I am desperate to find relief. My pain in concentrated in my toes and ball of foot. That’s it -
A lot of doctors ( my neurologist for one) have never heard of this therapy-
I refuse to take gabapentin but will give Lyrica a try -
Google Calmare therapy to find more information-
I had been active most of my life ( marathon runner)Amateur Soccer player and aerobics.
Initially my career required a certain heel height and that combined with cabin pressure just made my feet worse.
It’s intermittent pain.
I am desperate for relief-

I a relate.
My feet hurt so bad on the sides,that I can’t walk sometimes
Shoes are difficult to find, have tried Orthofeet and even they hurt after awhile.
I use Salonpas pain patches and CBD ointment for relief.
It doesn’t help alot, but it’s better than nothing.
Hope you get some relief

Hi @norelle27 ,

Have you tried shock wave treatment? My calves were really tight, I can relate to the above, and Wow! What a difference. This relieved so much of the tension. I also do happy feet yoga, and I massage my feet every night. It was not an instant relief, but several months. The shock wave however... Life changing.
