Neuropathy treatments: How to avoid scams?

It depends on everyone's situation..I was diagnosed with SFN three years ago which aggravated to the point of having difficulty walking...Finally I found a clinic offering Sanexas treatment and after three month along with some other life changes- I'm healed 70%...
Now I'm looking for a devise as a maintenance only.

@Curi0us I don't know what Sanexas treatment is. Would you mind explaining? Laura Henderson

I am new to this forum although I have been suffering with peripheral neuropathy for 2 years (none diabetic). Like most sufferers I have searched endlessly to find supplements that provide some relief and a possible cure. My search has proved how impossible this quest is and so expensive due to misleading adverts and down right scams.What would be really helpful if members posted their experiences with supplements they’ve tried , which were useless/helpful or obvious scams. I am sure there must be some helpful supplements out there and we would all benefit if these were posted on this forum.

Hi Friends,
My husband has had painful burning neuropathy in his feet for the past two years. I have bought so many lotions, pain pads, etc. and nothing really worked.I did buy him barefoot Lorax shoes by Hike. He said “don’t waste your money.”. Well, he now says they are the best shoes and his pain level has significantly gone down. It didn’t happen all at once, but after a few weeks of wearing them, his pain level DID go down. He also started taking pregablin (the generic form of Lyrica)…two 50 mg pills three times a day. Both of these changes have helped him so much! Everyone is different, but it has been a lifesaver for my husband.

I can relate to most of these posts....PN is a life comfort stealer. It looks like there are so many reasons for this malady..some from surgeries, some from illnesses..or injuries. I'm looking for relief from whatever the cause could be..and not with more medications. The different kind of 'socks' looks to be helpful for some. I also feel that by using different non-invasive types of therapy whether it be acupuncture, inserts, better shoes....massage...cleaner diet....that some of these have worked wonders for so many that now suffer, that maybe it's time to try something different in our pursuit of comfort and relief from at times, the intractable , searing pains of PN. I recently talked with three women in a waiting room at my local hospital..when I noticed that they were all wearing Hoka shoes. They swore by them!! I am now dealing with pins and needles as well as extreme heel pain that causes me to walk on my toes..can't bear to put my heel down as the pain is too intense....and I'm an athlete!....not exercising..walking on my treadmill and outside is not an easy life sentence for me..so I'm always seeking out ways to lighten my load here.
Heat doesn't help me...but ice seems too..at least getting a bit numb is a different feeling then having to be conscious of my feet at every moment of the day. I also massage my feet a lot....getting more of a blood supply going...also taking supplements that aid in nerve damage, which have helped I feel. I would love to have anyone who's tried different walking shoes that have benefited their lives..please post for us!! What's making a difference??? Not satisfied with a "there's nothing that can be done" attitude! Bless you all!!!

Hi, rich12019 (@rich12019)

I'm 79. I have idiopathic large-fiber PN, so no pain but terrible balance. The invisible onset of my PN was 10-12 years ago, but I wasn't given an "official" diagnosis until August 2022. That's when I started reading up on PN. That's also when I began to be bombarded with scam come-ons. Fortunately, I managed to duck the come-ons. An honest, caring neurologist and on-and-off PT have kept my PN at bay––plus a sepsis infection, which put me in conversation with a new team of specialists (infectious disease), instilling in me the value of good nutrition. I can still hear those specialists saying, 'Protein, protein, protein!' 🙂

I wish you the very best of the New Year!

It's a NeoGen treatment for neuropathy using electrical pulse and oscillators plus B12 injection straight in feet...
Most ins. don't pay for it...
click on them website and find out a local providers in your area doing this treatment...
The local provider will do a thoroughly evaluation to see if you are a good candidate...
I got three month-twice/week treatment plus some other lifestyle adjustments and I'm 70% healed with my SFN.
Good thing-my local provider gave me a very good price to continue as a maintenance only for twice/month...

Glad your husband feel better with special shoes and Gababentin....
Unfortunately, the relief will not last long,,,unless properly treated neuropathy becomes worse and worse till prevent people even from walking...
First thing first you have to determine what is causing this neuropathy...a neurologist and a podiatrist is a must to see...they will check nerves conduction, arteries and venous blood flow, skin biopsy for small fiber neuropathy ( SFN) etc...
I got SFN three years ago, being on Gababentin and bunch of helpful vitamins to no avail....I've got to the point when walking became difficult. Finally I ended up with this clinic doing Sanexas treatment together with B12 shots straight in my feet along with some other life style changes..Sure enough, after three month treatment twice a week I got 70% healed, off Gababentin and walking with ease....I'm continuing to do Sanexas just for maintenance twice a month...Hope this help.
