Good question. Magnesium is one of those things that doesn't get talked about enough when it comes to neuropathy.

Your nerves actually need it to work right. It helps with nerve signaling and keeps inflammation in check. And a ton of people with neuropathy are low on magnesium and don't even know it. Muscle cramps, restless legs, bad sleep, more tingling than usual.. those can all be signs you're running low.

Infusions can help if you're really depleted since it gets into your system faster, but for most people just taking a good oral supplement every day does the trick. One thing though, stay away from magnesium oxide. That's the cheap stuff you see everywhere and it barely absorbs. You're basically buying a laxative. Go with magnesium glycinate or threonate, way better for nerve stuff.

Now magnesium alone isn't going to fix everything. I've seen the best results when people stack it with B12, alpha-lipoic acid, cutting sugar way back, and doing something to get circulation moving to the feet. That combo is where people really start feeling a difference. Give it some time too. Usually takes 4-8 weeks before things start shifting.

Think of magnesium as one piece of the puzzle. It sets the stage for healing but you still gotta address the bigger stuff like blood sugar and circulation.

Hope that helps.
