Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

Hi @papi54, Welcome to Connect. No one really knows the answer to your question and I have no medical training or background but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the chances are slim to none for amputation. I'm 79 and had the numb feet for 20+ years before even getting a diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I do take extra care of my feet and wear socks at night so that I can see if I happen to step on something and injure the foot. I also check them every night and keep a skin moisturizer on them.
Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy or do just have the symptoms?

Had been diagnosed with some neuropathy. I am a type 2 diabetic and had gradually seen some progression in foot numbness but it was an odd feeling like I said…like walking on crumpled paper but no pain. Thanks for your input…was good to hear. I also am very careful with my feet.
