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?

@brennankb55 thank you so much for your detailed answer. I will mention for sure this medicine to my neurologist and hope I could get a prescription. Lately what bothers me most is the burning in my toes and front feet, more than the pain. I really hope to find some relief with this medicine. Thank you and all the best

Have you tried nortryptaline?
@brennankb55 as well as having periphery neuropathy, I have neck pain caused from arthritis. I am on 100mg Lyrica 3 times a day which helps but does not take all the pain away. I am going to ask my doctor about LDN but is seems a bit complicated to me and I don’t know if it will work for neck nerve pain but maybe worth a try. I have had ablations and injections which don’t work anymore

Do not buy Neuro Salt, it's a SCAM, not endorsed by Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil
It does NOT WORK!

1 ReactionI have purchased an electrical foot stimulator on Amazon. It seems to relieve some of the numbness in my feet. I try to use it twice a day while watching TV, 30 minutes each time. As an elderly lady I have to turn it up to 18 or 20 to feel the intensity I want. It is called a Tens & EMS Foot Muscle Stimulator. There is no brand name. It is round, white with black foot shapes and control buttons between the footprints. It has different modes and different intensities. Don't know if it will help others, but it helps me. It costs around $100.

You mentioned in another discussion that you apply pressure on your feet with your thumb roughly one inch below your toes in the center daily and also put magnesium on your feet and wrist area to help you sleep at night. How long have you been doing this? Does it help with the burning?

2 Reactions@aliceruthcrowley If it's neuropathy(nerve damage) it can't be "reversed", it's permanent.
Anyone dealing with neuropathy in the feet and have any suggestions on how to get some relief? At times it hurts so bad I can walk and need to sit. Also because I have neuropathy and numbness I loose balance and almost fall at times which is dangerous.

2 Reactions@aliceruthcrowley You need to have a pain doc to a few tests to see what the cause of your pain is. Then you should be able to get an idea of how to proceed with pain meds. I wish you well in your search.
