Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

Hi, I'm new on this forum. After 13+ years of struggling with PN, I'm still looking for the panacea. Drugs don't help. Night times are hell, especially as I live in a hot climate. However, a few months ago I was told to try wearing short compression socks ( open at the toes) for sleeping and guess what, they really do help.

I am glad to hear something has helped you. As I have written before nothing has helped me (except one pill that I use when I want some small relief - Tramadol) however I do not take it as prescribed, 4x/day, as I could not function under that drugged state. I guess that after 10+ years of this insidious malady and false ads I stopped looking for a panacea. Nooro was the latest I tried and after 2+ months and being bombarded by their advertising machine offering more and more devices I returned it and surprisingly the ads bombardment stopped! Good thing They were true to their word and refunded what I had paid for it. I am under the care of a very understanding and caring pain management physician who has also tried to find some relief for this frustrating illness. Epidural injections, a pain management implant that also did not work. The latest is another type of implant, that he said it might work and to see if it could help I had a “lumbar medial branch block” that is a diagnostic procedure to determine if the implant a”Dorsal Rout (or bout) Ganglion would be adequate to “mask” the pain as doctors consider to be the numbness, tingling and cold/burning sensation that affects me the most. No dice! So I guess that for me, a panacea does not exist. To top everything off, I have now became a diabetic, type 2 to deal with. A new fight to undertake! We must not give up and try to live with what we have been dealt in life. Good luck to you all in the quest for a better life.
