@tisha01 neuropathy anywhere is when our nerves insulation has worn away. Vitamin B12 regrows insulation. But alcohol stops B12 absorbtion. Also older adults have less stomach acid. So less absorbtion . Eat more animal protein and take METHYLCOBALAMIN. You will then get better.
@tisha01 I feel your pain I’ve been dealing with it since I was 33 in 2013 when I was diagnosed I’m on 600 mg 3 times a day of gabapentin the stabbing pain is from my abdomen to my toes hard to explain to the doctor I see my neurologist on the 25th at university of Michigan any advice of what you take pain never goes away

Welcome @tisha01, You are not alone. Here's a search of Connect showing other members who have mentioned the same symptoms you mentioned - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/.
I only suffer from numbness and tingling that has gradually grown worse since my late 40s. There really is no medication that helps with the numbness but if you have pain, there are a lot of different treatments but none of them work for everyone with neuropathy (my non medical opinion). The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy is a good place to learn more about the different treatments - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.
I think one of the members who have similar symptoms mentioned Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) provided some relief for their symptoms. Here's a discussion on MFR where others have shared their experience:

Do you mind sharing what you have tried for treatments?
