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.

I just completed 5 treatments for scrambler therapy. I have neuropathy from past chemo and diabetes type 2. The treatments did not work for me. But they did seem to wake up my nerves. The treatments are not painful. It is worth a try for you as everyone is different. I am using essential oils, am considering a tens unit. I am on gabapentin. Take a tramadol at bedtime only. Helps for the most part. Neuropathy is a difficult illness .
