Welcome @rosaliemarie, Similar to what my Mayo neurologist told me after I was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I only have numbness with my neuropathy and was told there are no drugs or topicals that help with numbness. Depending on your neuropathy symptoms, you might want to check out the list of treatments some people have found helps on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy site here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.
What symptoms do you have with your neuropathy?

I was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy due to stinging, numbness and pains in my legs from my knees down. My Podiatrist recently ordered
nerve testing in my legs and the Dr who did the testing from my knees down told me I DO NOT have neuropathy because my nerves are working well.
So now I am getting a back MRI again and have a Hx of Degenerative Joint disease L5 to S1 . Then I may need to see a Neurologist.
I the past I have tried Gabapentin with little results and stopped due to possible side effects and was prescribed Lyrical in past and refused to take due to
too many possible side effects.
I am looking forward to discovering what is causing my leg problems from my knees down.

Hello John, Thank you for your prompt replay. Numbness (it’s creeping to my knees), tingling, sharp pains that are “migratory.” I feel like my balance is becoming compromised and I really have to look into either physical therapy or a personal trainer. I have been having massages once a month and she really concentrates on my feet, which always feel so much better at least for a little while. Do you know if Medicare covers therapeutic massages?
