Hello @jimyoung3, I moved your question about neuropathy related to diabetes to this existing discussion:
- Has anyone tried treatment for diabetic neuropathy ?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-tried-treatment-for-diabetic-neuropathy/

I did this so you can click the link, read through the previous posts to get tips and to connect with others more easily. @beetlejeuse, @superherosx7 and @nemo1 all posted questions and experiences with seeking treatment for diabetic neuropathy.

@jimyoung3, if you are comfortable sharing, have you tried other treatments?

Thanks, Justin.

I have tried essentially 3 things: 1. Controlling my diabetes, 2. Exercise, 3. Foot Massagers. I think all three help to slow the progression, but my neuropathy continues to worsen. All my doctors tell me there is no cure. My neurologist suggested gabapentum, but I've been told that gabapentum will only mask the pain and can lead to other problems. The only medical people who claim to have a cure are chiropractors. Very few of them, if any, can provide any evidence that their treatments (which tent to cost in the $7,000 to $10,000 range) actually work. And a number of my doctors tell me that some of their patients have worked with chiropractors and did not have any success.
