What treatment helps for feet neuropathy?

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.

@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?

Two different creams have helped me a lot with the nightly foot burning and pain. NERVIVE pain relieving cream which runs about $12 - $13 (Amazon) for 3 oz. One tube lasts quite awhile. It targets multiple nerve receptors and it really works for me! CAPSAICIN high potency pain relief cream which runs about $18 (Amazon) for 3 2oz tubes. This also works well! I use Nervive the most and switch off with the Capsaicin every once in a while.

Also, alcohol exasperates the nightly foot burning and pain.

Cornel,
Seems to me your pain is due to nerves that have lost their insulation, myelin. B12 renews nerves coating. It is only in animal protein. Veges have nil. Just go and buy some METHYLCOBALAMIN. That's the best source of B12. Booze stops absorbtion. Am 83.5 with nil pain anywhere.

I have "idiopathic" peripheral neuropathy. I've been using a red light therapy device on my feet for 15-20 minutes three times a week for the past two months in addition to other treatments and supplements. So far, I can't say that the red light has helped, but it's difficult to say when there is no experimental control. I don't feel any improvement, but might I be worse off if I was not using the red light? Maybe.

I've been using Voltaren gel successfully on my feet for more than 12 years. First prescribed by my rheumatologist for psoriatic arthritis, before being diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and peripheral artery disorder, I didn't distinguish between pain sources. I just knew it worked like magic. I've continued using it for nerve pain until last week, when Dr Google told me I shouldn't. I'm here to find out what next. This discussion is reassuring me about Voltaren gel. I only needed it before bed, and not again for a couple days until after the next shower.

I get early sun on my feet most mornings with breakfast. Seems to help. Better, safer, and cheaper source of near infrared radiation while my whole body benefits.
