Peripheral pain is due to nerves loosing their insulation , same as wiring loosing plastic coat.
Vitamin B12 makes new blood cells AND new nerve insulation. Most seniors are low B12 because we have less stomach acid. Acid removes B12 from food. Then of course most seniors eat way too little foods that contain B12 anyway ,that`s ANIMAL protein. Alcohol dulls the tips of millions of intestine and stomach villi, so there's less absorption. I take B12 in the form of METHYLCOBALAMIN. It works. A really good food source of B12 is plain old fashioned seafood, MUSSELS . Even better than liver.
I have nil nerve pain in my 83.5 yr old body. Go for it.

@jamessaxo hi James. The wearing off of the myelin sheath is just one way to acquire Polyneuropathy.
My dad had CIDP, and that’s what happened to him.

For someone like me and many others, Polyneuropathy can be caused by:
“There are other causes like, traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic conditions, exposure to toxins, and diabetes.”.(Mayo Clinic)

There is no cure only relief.
