Hello, I was told I had peripheral neuropathy after a back surgery that never seemed to help. The neurologist I saw for about a year moved out of state but never suggested anything so now I am just going to my regular doctor. In the past 5 years it has been about the same it starts in my toes and then my feet ankles and shins burn some. This is mostly in the evening before bedtime. I walk on a treadmill regularly and sometimes I don't feel the pins and needles. Since I have a sleep disorder I take a prescribed sleeping pill that I take with the pm tablet. After about an hour the pins and needles stop and if I am awake I get very hungry. My doctors advise is only to keep walking. I can't say my neuropathy has gotten worse as I was told it would. Although I dislike the pain and discomfort maybe I am lucky. I have tried some CBD oil orally but can't say it helped. Perhaps I should try something topical ? Here in Missouri we can't take anything with any THC unless prescribed. Any suggestions ? Jerrys

Your pins and needles stop after you take your sleeping pill? Did the doctor's say why the neuropathy you have would get worse? I'm still on a roller coaster of trying to figure out why I have peripheral neuropathy. My feet get worse when I walk. I haven't used CBD oil. I've read that people try different kinds of CBD oil (brands)because what works for one may not work for another. To soothe my feet, I soak my feet in a dish basin with warm water, epsom salts (epsom salt is magnesium so magnesium is being absorbed thru your feet just in case you take any meds that interact with magnesium)and add Himalayan pink salt to my foot bath. The hotter my feet get in shoes or the shower, the more pins and needles I get too so I cool them down with cool water. I have also rubbed some Frankincense on the soles of my feet am and pm. I've researched more ways to help neuropathy but I'm limiting my trials because I have to go for more blood work and don't want anything impacting my test results. I have two Tarlov Cysts in my sacrum which I feel is part of if not most of my neuropathy now. But that's still being investigated. Vitamin B12 methyl only is supposed to help with neuropathy. I think it was helping the neuropathy I have but I had to stop all my vitamins/herbs due to possible malabsorption or SIBO. Believe this or not, I get a bit of neuropathy relief from coffee with caffeine. It's really weird because I could never drink caffeine before.
