I am new here and just recently found out I have neuropathy.

It sounds like OTC is likely the best and safest way to self treat this neuropathy. Is this a common deduction?

@granny73 If you are on a medication for control of epilepsy, could the medication be the cause of the peripheral neuropathy?

Massage, and then put whatever cream for pain on it. Like capcaisin.

@granny73 try compression socks (day and night). I have chemo induced p.n. at feet and hands. Mostly just c o ld numb feeling like with hitting elbow funny bone. Not really "pain", so no meds worked. I also wiggle the my toes and fingers a lot, type, play piano, swim, etc to get blood moving and retrain brain to recognize nerve impulses. If your neuropathy is c aused by a chronic condition, then different things might work but until you manage underlying cause it will continue.

@deanhobart I don’t know what has caused mine. I have numb toes and numb soles of both feet, back pain and cramping in my calves at night on rare occasions. Going to see PCP on 26th

@granny73 It never occurred to me that my epilepsy could’ve caused this. I’ve had it since my early teens.

Does Pickle Juice help? I have ordered some stockings to help with my neuropathy.

Magnesium glycinate is a good pill to take to avoid cramps. Also suggest depending where you live look into CET treatments. What I've seen is mainly offered in north Texas. I had rothby below the knee on the left leg and also in both feet. CET treatment has helped reduce that by 75%.

When you talk about a solution to neuropathy many if not most believe there is no cure. However I'm a living example that CET treatment works to a degree. It doesn't benefit me to share this info other than I know the pain and suffering I've experienced and would hope that others can benefit as well.

@dennisntexas Thank you, I started taking the magnesium and it helped! Is massaging my numb feet good to do?
