Hello @sunnybuns1, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience and what you found has helped your neuropathy. @artscaping also has recommended the legs up the wall yoga. I do massage my feet daily at night and put lotion on them to keep the skin hydrated. I think it helps because peripheral nerves are near the skin and the healthier the skin the better chance for the nerves to heal. You might also find the following discussions helpful:

Can you share a little more about how your neuropathy was diagnosed?

I have not had any medical tests to verify the neuropathy. My primary doc & I have discussed it every time I see him, but our decision is to not use Western medicine or medication. I will try the supplement that was posted in the link you sent. I am fairly active, but I am also going to ask my doc to order the ABI test people have talked about in posts. I hardly saw either surgeons again after the surgeries. I did see the first surgeon as my 2nd knee got a hematoma at the end of the incision after a few weeks, he had to open the area up & clean it out. It seemed to heal well. The links you sent were both helpful. Thank you.
