My neurologist could determine what type of np I have and could only offer gabapentine which I have learned makes things worse. I found doc t ors who use red light therapy, a tens device that works with my feet in water, an ultrasound device, and a shock treatment with hot and cold water, fruit powder supplement and another with b complex. Feel like I am walking on pillows but it is not progressing over 10 months. I'm 78 and active. Thanks for your comments. Lou

My neurologist did many tests and found B6 level too high which is toxic to nerves. So I don't take it. I can take up to a year or longer for my body to get rid of it.
She also started me on Nortripyline and after 4 weeks most of my pain is gone. Now I occasionally have pain in my toes which is a major improvement.
