Supplements - What helps nerve pain and/or neuropathy?

Getting enough magnesium is difficult through regular diet for most people. Spinach is rich in magnesium. I do spinach salads in my diet pretty regularly, and also take magnesium supplements, but haven’t noticed any effect it has on my neuropathy, nor was ALA and I tried all kinds. I do seem to get some benefit in reduced burning from some full spectrum CBD supplements I have been taking.

Same for me. Neither ALA nor magnesium of any kind helped me, only medical marijuana (topical and tinctures).

Also alpa lipoid acid

Good to know. thanks.

mulltivitamins and B 12 and hallf a pill of Effexor twice a day have helped me -also exercising 3 times a day under the guidance of a pt who specializes in neuropathy is essental for helping my neuropathy-Mike storman

FYI, here is a Walmart add for Penetrex that indicates that it helps with Neuropathy. I have not tried it as Im testing another recommended product for now, with limited success.
I have been seeking pain relief from IPN for over 10 years and recently purchased a product called Frankincense Intensive foot Therapy lotion. It has a rather spicy odor that you get used to and it seems to calm the burning for a few hours, however, I wake up with the burning sensation every night about 3:00 am, in both feet. I also have recently been experiencing sciatica pain in left leg. I tried the same lotion but does not help sciatica.

One thing that has helped both PN and Sciatica is Prosage Nano percussion massager. http://www.EVERTONEPROSAGE.COM. I use the round foam head and run it up and down feet top and bottom and around sides. I think it confuses the nerve function and relieves the pain as well as helps muscles relax so that tight/restrictive feeling goes away. Relief lasts for an hour or so, if Im awake on a recliner, watching TV. Its great in the morning when my feet are on fire and very stiff. The massager is wireless and very portable so you can take it with you in car or have it near by around the house. USB charge overnight or an hour or two.

For sciatica pain, I press it hard against leg and it rattles the heck out of your whole body. You have to be careful around neck and would never use on head. Otherwise its a great pain tool.
Hope this is helpful info. Rick B.

Penetrex - interesting name. The first search hit was to a prescription drug for treating certain infections so not related. The next hit was to the product you saw at Walmart and it has some usual vitamins and minerals and ApresFlex Boswellia Serrata which I believe is Frankincense. It also has bioperine which will unfortunately kill me. I do take Boswellia Serrata on its own as it helps control IL-4.

It everyone gets relief from ALA, I did not. There is no medication to cure neuropathy, but there are numerous studies using supplements. I wanted a cure, not just pain relief. I read one study from the Cleveland Clinic that showed good results and have been following their recommendation with good results. They recommend taking 400 mg of CoQ10 and 20 mg of PQQ daily. The neuropathy in my hands is completely gone and my feet are much improved. The majority of the pain in my feet is gone, but I still have numbness in some places. I started this a year after chemo. The hands showed improvement quickly, the feet were slower. But the worst of the pain was gone in 3-4 months. Not an overnight cure, but my pain is gone, I stopped taking it when I quit getting improvement of the numbness. None of the pain as returned.

How much benefit did you receive from the numbness?
