Hi @johnnieray47, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are dealing with peripheral neuropathy. PN is what brought me to Connect back in 2016. I shared my neuropathy journey along with other members in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/member-neuoropathy-journey-stories-whats-yours/.

I know it's not much comfort but you are not alone. I think most of us suffering with the different neuropathy symptoms came to Connect hoping to find the magic bullet that cures neuropathy when one doesn't exist. What we can do together is share our experiences and learn from each other what we have found that has provided us with some type of relief. The best thing we can do is be our own best advocate by learning as much as we can about our condition and what treatments may provide a form of relief. A great place to learn more about neuropathy is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Have you done any research on alternative or complementary treatments for neuropathy? What symptoms bother you the most if you don't mind me asking?

@johnbishop , I have tried acupuncture, mama bear, several different internet pills, Gabapentin, etc. The best relief so far has been copper fit compression sleeves for plantar fascia.
Worst problem is numbness on balls of feet and swollen feeling.
