I have not yet found a treatment that works. I did, however, (following the advice of someone else on this forum) see a podiatrist. He suggested taking 600 mg of alpha lipoid acid and 1000 mg extended release B Complex for three months. He said to take daily without fail and he will do some testing of nerve conduction when I see him in three months. I began four days ago. Has anyone tried these supplements?

Well I got my letter from the Mayo Neurologist dept. They did a “deep dive” into my medical records. I had hoped that Mayo , since they have an extensive research, I had hoped that they could provide some new research treatments. The response was due to patient capacity and that they couldn’t offer any other treatments than what I am already doing. ☹️
So I am on my own. !
What is my personal treatment : I have left leg and left foot neuropathy. ( However there are many types of Neuropothathy). I have tingling sensation , easily irratedq by pants , socks, shoes, numbness down outer thigh, outside of leg calf, around the kneecap, around the ankle bone, and diminishing sandy feeling bottom of foot under toes and along right side of left foot. My personal daily health plan. AM. Alternating days of Physical therap exercises, yoga exercises, TENS unit application ( pads in proper place), Antiflamitory fruit, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, ginger, protein powder, apple cider vinegar, etc. shake, pils: D3, multivitamin, Tumeric, Krill oil,, multi vitam B vitamin. All of good quality. ( no synthetic ). ( there is a difference !). Deep tissue massage. ( look for a massage therapist trained in deep tissue massage). It’s not Swedish massage!). It can be painful sometimes). Accupuncture for pain in back ( after extensive failed back surgery). On going Pysical therapy, magnesium lotion on leg and whole foot.
It’s time consuming. I have to balance my daily life activities and what I do for my neuropathy.
I’m currently researching studies about the Sural nerve and Tibial nerve entrapment. Thanks for listening. Watch out for scams and poor quality ingredients.
