I found that stretching seems to agitate the nerves and makes the pain and needles worse. Everyone is different. I have a bottle of ALA and it says to take 2 tablets on an empty stomach, and 2 total 1,500mg. I have not tried it yet. Maybe I should start with just one. Have you noticed any difference with it? If so, after how long? Thank you.

ALA is very effective for me in reducing foot numbness. I started with 300 mg per day for two years before numbness began to advance. Then, I increased the dosage to 600 mg per day. It again reduced the numbness for me. Note: I do this with my primary's oversight to make sure no conflicts develop with other meds I'm taking.

I haven’t taken ALA, but others in this group have and found it helpful without side effects.
It’s something sim thinking about taking myself.
