My name is Michael and I agree. I've had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy for around 15 years (I'm 73 now). It's mostly in my right foot. I'm pretty sure mine was caused by decreased blood flow to my lower legs. I also have atherosclerosis which has forced me to have stents and finally a quadruple bypass in 2018. A vascular surgeon has performed a couple of operations trying to open up some of the blockages in my arteries in my right leg with poor results. And I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Nice combination, huh?

Exercise helps. I try to do a mile every other day on my treadmill and some Pilates work other days. My Dr. has given me an Rx for a topical cream that my compounding pharmacy makes that helps. It has this long name: Gaba/Keta/Clon/Amit/Lido 10/10/0.2/2/5% Active. I usually rub it on in the morning and it lasts for a few hours. I also find a TENS machine helps a little - I use it almost every evening. And some devices that squeeze and release both my calves (I'm hoping that increases the blood flow).

Other than that, I feel fine!
