Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jul 1 10:27am

I suspect that everyone on this forum has been searching for a medication that helps their neuropathy and even though you no that all the internet claims are false we continue to waste hundreds of pounds. Desperation is a powerful force. Has any one been fortunate enough to find a genuine treatment. I just can’t believe that there are so many awful people who prey on our vulnerability and knowingly orchestrate such elaborate scams.

I think what works for one will not necessarily work for another. Try one or two things and maybe you have one or two things I haven't thought of. Or maybe you do it another way.... I am glad the feet aren't as zapping/electric/burning as it was...I called it restless foot syndrome (as opposed to restless leg syndrome because the sheet, blankets and pillows would be all over the floor most nights. When I got up due to needing to go to the bathroom, get a drink and then I would need to walk around as it actually helps me to walk on these feet as far as the neuropathy pain issues. When it was at its worse, I'd walk around, finally get sleepy but not know it and fall down. While I was 30 lbs heavier, I would "bounce" and bruise but not break. Then I ended up breaking both wrists and dislocating one. It is hard to keep track of all the body parts that have problems, how about all of you?

I’ve tried every cream, Gabapentin Lyrica Tylenol4, spinal stimulator nerve ablation. Nothing helps. It was really bad yesterday the numbness was above both knees, and wrist. I can’t lift my feet when I walk. I’m in a wheelchair. I live by myself and it’s scary sometimes.

Did you know that taking meds to treat gastric problems interferes with the production of of stomach acid , which aids the absorption etc of certain nutrients and helps with breakdown of others. Magnesium kis one of the things affected. Low magnesium is associated with neuropathy. Since I discovered this I take 420 mgs magnesium every day plus 1/2 or more of Tart Cherry juice twice a day. In 5 to 7 days my neuropathy has gone. I have Parkinson’s also and to get relief from this was wonderful

I am so sympathetic to your plight. I don't know how you do it...I really don't.

Do you take oral medications as well? I take Gabapentin Are you able to do any exercises? I've recently read that movement is critical to peripheral neuropathy. Use 1 to 3 lbs weight, stretch bands, or your body weight. If you like some music, listen to it and just move to it.

I have posted before that I have had Axon procedure and it worked for me I AM A vet and I know that there is so much garbage on line,Myself I have really bought in to some of it.I far as I am concerned the only thing that worked for me was the Axon therapy, It's only available in sbout 20 clinic right now,if you do your own DD there available in about 5 or 6 VA clinic the rest are outside, Thats were the growth is right now, check out axon therapy Augusta Georgia VA Clinic, there you can find out all the information that you need to know about this process, Augusta was one of the first places in the VA that tried the process and refine the process and now have about an 87% success rate and either lowering your pain threshold or sometimes even eliminate it, there is no meds to take it's just the process that they use, a lot of Clinic so yeah we have it, but there's only like I said about five or six VA clinics and the rest are outside that really have it. So check it out and see for yourself and hopefully you can find a true form of release of pain. Good luck

Radiculopathy in my arms due to compression in my cervical spine. The only real relief was cervical spinal fusion. (After 10 years trying to get help)
Worked wonders! No pain for 3 years now. No more tinglie fingers or sharp stabbing neck pains

Do you mean TENS? Yes, I’ve tried it, along with alpha-lipoic-acid (ALA), Vitamin B-12, Lions Mane Mushrooms, physical therapy. Nothing worked. But not saying any of those might “work” for someone else. Plus the placebo effect can be real

Have you tried Nevro Neuropathy?
