Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Accupuncture has really helped me. My knees used to literally burn and now with just a few treatments it has lessond. I started with 3 session per week. I got such a great response that I quickly went down to twice and now just every two weeks. The accupuncture helps to reduce inflamation.

I started acupuncture two months ago, twice a week, It hasn't helped but I will give it more time. I have nerve damage from back surgery a year ago. Acupuncture is supposed to improve circulation which should help heal the nerves. I've mostly stopped doing exercises and taking walks since they increase my pain. Did acupuncture help you?
Anyone else have advise about acupuncture? The doctor I'm going to has a terrific reputation and says that acupuncture definitely helps neuropathy.

I KNOW ONE THING.SOMEONE SOMEWHERE KNOWS HOW TO CURE NEUROPATHY OR AT LEAST LESSEN ITS EFFECTS. WHY DON'T THE GOVERNMENT GIVE MONEY TO RESEARCH THIS. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE IT. IT IS VERY PAINFUL AND BURNING, AS YALL ALL KNOW AND YOUR FEET FEEL SO WEIRD. PLEASE LET THE DRUG COMPANIES HELP US. FUNNY THING TO ME, THEY SURE COME UP WITH VACINNE FAST WHEN THEY NEED SOMETHING CURED ASAP.

@faybe the governments money is the money they get from us in taxes, and there are thousands of diseases . People already are over taxed. They need to get rid of all the wasteful programs and allocate the money where it truly is needed. AI may have many downsides, but in the field of medicine, I believe solutions and cures will be coming at greater speeds. Let’s continue sharing information until the mystery of PN is solved.

I was diagnosed with PN almost 30 years ago (I am now 87 years old) and have never received any treatment. It has only become worse over the years; I am now just barely able to walk. Fortunately, I have never had any pain with it.
The only "treatment" I have used is exercise. That seemed to work OK, but serious heart trouble 5 years ago severely limited that, and now I can barely lift a 10 lb. dumbbell.
Any suggestions?

There is no "pink salt cure" for peripheral neuropathy. There is no proof that it is anything more than a waste of time and money. If you are eating it, you are overloading your body with salt, which will increase blood pressure and make neuropathy worse. If you are rubbing it in your feet and hands you are only exfoliating your skin. If you are using it with a warm footbath, then Epson Salt would be less expensive. If you are thinking somehow that the minimal amout of trace minerals will somehow go beyond the skin barrier to get to the nerves, there isn't enough of them in it to make a difference. Some people get more benefit from using a lotion with magnesium. Also try a creme with arnica. Lidocaine is the most commonly used substance, but it is hard to find unscented since most manufacturers want to add menthol to create a pseudo "cooling" effect.

After getting peripheral neuropathy after heavy chemo, seeing different neurologists, researchibg, and trying different things (such as pink sea salt soak, gabapentin mixed with duoxitine, etc., etc.), the best results for me so far are a mix of 1) using lidocaine and arnica creme for the times when nerves misfire and cause pain, 2) compression socks and gloves with they were more numb, 3) vitamin B supplements, and 4) wiggling my toes and fingers while streching and contorting hands and feet so as to get blood circulating and spurring nerves to regrow and rewire. I spend 5 to 10 minutes am and pm. It has noticeably improved over the past 6 months. It takes 1 to 2 years for nerve rewiring to occur. I also started swimming, which seems to help. I also wear scuba foot socks while walking around the pool on my tiptoes (again to stretch, get blood following, and slowing retrain nerve signals). Good luck. There is no quick fix.
