What treatment helps for feet neuropathy?
Hello,
I am looking for years for some medical treatment to ease my neuropathic pain in my feet. It is getting worse especially at night: pain and burning of my soles, numbness and tingling.
What I am taking now, with modest results, are Naproxen and Magnesium Glycinate.
What about you? What is your medication for flair ups?

Does anyone find relief from using Magnesium Oil on your feet. I usually apply before sleep and have found that foot cramps have subsided using this oil.
Hello! Does anybody with feet neuropathy is wearing orthotics (for collapsed arch on the nerves) and having balance problems while walking? Thanks

I’ve begun using 300mg of Alpha Lipoic acid and it’s done wonders for my feet. In be they used to feel as though I was wearing too tight shoes and they’d spasm.
No more of that thank heavens.

2 ReactionsI was over dosed at VA with gabapentin so I do not recommend it.
My wife tried electro stimulation that worked for her, but must be repeated, no drugs.
I used anadynene light treatments (same thing used on burn issues to stimulate skin and nerve regeneration) with great results, but it also must be repeated, but also NO drugs involved.
Has anyone tried Amla?
I just take Gabapentin
(Neurotin), with moderate relief, most of the time. It takes an hour or more for onset. I take it 600 mg a couple of hours before bed. And 300 mg q4 hrs throughout the day. But it makes me a little lethargic and affects my balance and gait so I don’t take it when I have to go anywhere. I also take 2 extra strength Tylenol in the late morning and again about 10 pm.
But that’s more for back pain. It may help the neuropathy too but I don’t notice any difference.
I'm being treated for neuropathy using CET treatments which have made a big difference in my legs and feet. You can Google CET for yourself and see what it is. Here in North Texas there are a number of clinics that offer this and Medicare covers the cost. It's not perfect but it seems to be making a significant difference in many. I talked to the patients and the waiting room while I'm taking my turn and I'm impressed with what I hear.

2 Reactions@dennisntexas by the way CET is not an ointment or a product to be purchased. It's a medical treatment performed by a medical doctor.
@brenda11 I also take gabapentin. I was able to decrease my daily dose from 2400 mg a day to 1200 mg a day after I started taking R Alpha Lipoic Acid.
I now take 300 mg of gabapentin four times a day and 300 mg R Alpha Lipoic Acid three times a day.
I' m trying to decrease gabapentin even more but seem to be plateauing at 1200 mg.
Has anyone tried the red light things you put your feet in at varying wattages?
