I am a young 85 and have had neuropathy for just a couple of years. I have been given gabapentin by my Dr. which I take nightly. I think it started with sciatica and other back issues related to osteoporosis. I have tried and
spent money on the vitamins promoted by hucksters on line. I went to a Neurologist who after reviewing the MRI called it riduculopathy. It affects my right foot more so than my left. I find avoiding certain foods and beverages
seem to help. I also have a PT doing deep tissue work on my back and legs,
and use soothing lotions on feet (IcyHot Lidocaine cream).
I think it's gradually improving.
