Hi Linda, Welcome to Connect. The neuropathy symptoms can be treated but I don't believe I've read of a cure in reliable information. I have read that it may be possible to reverse diabetic neuropathy but there are a lot of unknowns involved. Also, my own personal opinion is that if the neuropathy is caused by nerve compression and that can be fixed to relieve the symptoms that might be considered a cure by some. The best chance we have is to learn as much as we can about our condition and what treatments are available that might help. Here are my two favorite sites for learning more:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy? Can you share a little more about your symptoms and any treatments you've tried?

I have lumbar stenosis and am scheduled for MISS L-4, 5. on March. I have bilateral peripheral neuropathy toes and balls of feet, I would really appreciate any info, on relief by other means, don’t know if surgery will help. I have neurogenic claudication bilateral hips.

Thanks for your input, truly appreciate the info. Plan to go ahead with the decompression laminectomy and will report on results.
