I have had neuropathy since 2014. been there, done most. found that if I kept my blood circulation good in my feet (blood booster for nitric oxcide) and used basically topical solutions to resolve some discomfort. I am class 3b in kidney disease due to the diabetes so most oral medications are out. If you can take the smell, the creams that have capzasin in them, used regularly for 1 to 2 weeks helps build up relief. I used on 2x a day for 3 days and had some relief for a week. but I have allergies and I cannot take the capzasin. My alternative medicine woman said that it does more as you use it longer. Try it, my kidney doctor only allows topical solutions. I'm good at creating my own. I don't buy the the advertized expensive ones, I find out what's in them, research it and if applicable, order from amazon. then put in Walmart's lidocane cream or other substitute. You have to "manage" yourself. whatever is comfortable. I have even put 3" of foam to the bottom of my feet. (rubber bands ) what ever works. Old wives tales sometime. help or are a starting point. Good luck. sharon
