Does neuropathy ever go away

@aml25 I guess that most of the time we don't know the cause of our neuropathy. I just had lower back pain until about two years ago. I had a trial of a new spinal cord stimulator. They were "digging around" my back to try and get the leads in place. Two months later, all this new pain showed up. Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy they told me. No identifiable cause. Gotta wonder though. Now, my feet burn, my ankles and back of my legs burn and hurt. Like you, I have tried a number of neuropathy creams to ease the burning, but none have helped. I find that my prayer time has become more intentional. Sometimes I feel like Job who was a righteous man before God but had to suffer many trials and suffering. But God eventually restored him.
I hope you can find something that helps. What would you say your average pain level is?

@heisenberg34 I apologize because I don't know. It's worse when I'm sitting like now at my computer or trying to relax after dinner watching TV. The hardest time is during the night. The rest of the time I'm so busy I just shelf it. I give God thanks that I have come through some tough situations and I offer my prayers to those who suffer more. My neurologist feels being active is super helpful; being a former runner I now walk about 2 1/2 miles everyday. I'm sure it helps me.
Neuropathy research is being done but as far as I know for Diabetics and those on Chemo only.
