I have neuropathy in both feet. I am a type 2 diabetic and suffer from PAD peripheral artery disease. I’ve had both femoral arteries rotorooted. I’m taking pregablain for my feet I 79 years old. No improvement in my feet. Procedures relieved leg pains.

I keep seeing clams on social media that there are supplements that will heal my foot nerves. Is there truth to these claims? I am taking vitamin B12 also.

Welcome @bobrar, There are a lot of different so called neuropathy cures and supplements on the market. I'm not a doctor or medical expert but I do think supplements can help but may or may not work for everyone depending on the different factors involved with the specific neuropathy. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of supplements that have been shown to help nerve health that may be a good place to start to learn more - https://www.foundationforpn.org/vitamins-and-supplements-for-nerve-health/.

There are quite a few discussions here on Connect where members have asked questions and shared experiences with supplements for neuropathy if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

You also might find it helpful to connect with other members who have peripheral artery disease to learn what they have shared. Here's a search of Connect listing the discussions and member comments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.
