Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

My TENS machine works very well for my lower back pain but does nothing for my neuropathy. It actually made my neuropathy worse the last time I used it.

Suz, I have similar experience--lower back pain and mostly due to muscle wasting caused by my "disease" which brought on neuropathy. At Physical Therapy they put the TENS machine on me and I noticed change. I no longer go to PT and am trying to strengthen my glutes and hips because that should help get rid of some of the back pain. Are you taking any medication for your back pain? I have to be careful with that too. Even a Salonpas patch caused my heart to race so I do not use that. My PN is mostly numbing and tingling but no pain; however, if you know anything on back pain, I would appreciate your input.
