Does anything work?????

I have had tremendous success with R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, especially for the leg cramps, but it has also decreased, though not removed, the burning of my feet at night. I suffered for years before I found this sight last November and followed advice from fellow travelers. I get it on Amazon. The brand I take is lipoFusion, though I'm sure there are others that work just as well. I take 600 mg each day (at or before lunch).
I really hope the answer for you is this simple. I understand what you are dealing with!

My feet and lower legs are somewhat numb, and I do have to turn over quite frequently at night because it's uncomfy lying on my side.
However, I seem to have got rid of the cramps which were waking me every night, by drinking a 6oz glass of tonic water before bed. The quinine in the tonic is the active ingredient. Other members have also found this helpful.
I also do 20 toe stands and some squats and stretches before bed, not sure if it really adds anything but once one arrives at a routine that seems to work, one does not want to start messing with it!

I cannot take because of stage 2 almostv3 kidney desease. But i do leg stretches 10 times a day. And walk outside a couple miles a day

Does anybody know about a tens unit helping with cold feet of peripheral neuropathy?
Would love to hear about it.

@bcool123
There seems to be a body of research which supports the use of a tens unit for peripheral neuropathy.
There is another unit which may be embedded, peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS). Unlike TENS units, peripheral nerve stimulators are often implanted just beneath the skin near the affected nerves in your foot.

@v8auto I do the stretching but I'm still up every 2 hours

My pain neuropathic pain from a stroke.. called thalamic pain syndrome. Neurologists and pain management specialists have run out of ideas… nothing has been effective at all. Now my physiatrist ( pain management) is suggesting ketamine infusions. Two of my other drs are not in favor of them, nor am I
The one part of my body that functions well is my brain and I don’t want to jeopardize my cognitive functioning. Any thoughts?
