I have not had magnesium infusions, but have been using Mama Bears Neuropathy Cream and applying it to my ankles and calves, where I experience the symptoms of neuropathy...tingling and numbness. The main ingredient in this product is magnesium. My symptoms have improved, but not completely gone. I'll continue using this product, as it's the only thing that seems to help.

How long did you use it before you noticed improvement?

I used the product for a couple of days, before noticing improvement. To be clear, I still have a little soreness in my ankles and calves, but much improved. I still have minor or minimal amount swelling or edema in both ankles.

Thank you - I will give it a go. I don't have pain but fuzzy feeling in both hands and feet. Did you have that or just pain?
Thanks for any assistance!

I had no pain, but your term “fuzzy” describes what I feel.

Victor, since being diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, I have learned thru internet that all nerves are coated with an insulating fat called MYELIN. When. Vitamin B12 is deficient, myelin vanishes in some places. One day I took 10 pills of METHYL COBALAMIN. Pain went away. As I was unsure of long term effects, I have gone back on CABAMAZEPINE, as directed by a specialist.Goof luck.

I did some research on line and my magnesium was recommended to cause less diarrhea. So, I bought it, and then I recently read that it was the best type for neuropathy. It was just luck that is what I had bought. My doctor originally just recommended that I use magnesium, period., I hadn't taken any for about 7 months and my neuropathy was getting worse. I live alone out in the country and can't get fresh vegetable. I can shop at Costco and stock up on a bunch of frozen foods.

That's really good news that the magnesium is helping your neuropathy @raebaby.
