Hello @megs9, Welcome to Connect. Sad to say there is no real cure for neuropathy but depending on the cause of the neuropathy pain, surgery may be an option.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of treatments that you may find helpful: https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy? Did they find a cause for the neuropathy or is it idiopathic like mine?

Hello @megs9,
In all transparency and honesty, as of now, there are no cures at all for peripheral neuropathy. If you’re lucky and find a treatment without side effects, it more than likely will be to slow down the condition and not cure it. The only neuropathy that might have the best treatments is probably diabetic neuropathy since there are many pharmaceutical companies that have medications to control diabetes.
I strongly suggest you talk to your neurologist if you have one, find one if you don’t, or talk to your primary care physician.
Best wishes always and have a serene evening,
