Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

Welcome @tomm547, I also have neuropathy but only the numbness which medication doesn't help. Hoping you get some relief with soaking the feet with cold water as suggested by @donaldpickett. Since you mentioned spinal cord simulators I thought you might be interesting in this discussion:

Is your appointment in 3 weeks for a spinal cord simulator trial to see how it goes?

Hi, I also just have numbness in feet. It is awful, I have had just slight numbness for about 4 years due to diabetes then when I was Dx 3 years ago with Multiple Myeloma and taking chemo pills it's much worse. What do you do for this? I'm afraid it will become worse and one day not be able to walk or drive! Since no pain there is nothing for numbness. Thank you

Yes.. my spinal stimulation trial with NEVRO is on 6-1. I am hoping for the best cause this is the only solution I have for this very painful neuropathy. Until then I find that Cymbalta helps a lot but I don't want to be on meds the rest of my life if I can help it. Although it seem to work it has some unwanted side effects like causing my legs and arms to twitch at night.
