I have mild neuropathy in my feet. My neurologist put me on 600 mgrams of alpha lipoic acid every morning. This seems to help alot. I also use the salon pas. One on top of my foot and a second on the bottom with a good pair of socks. This keeps the pain under control..

I use Lidocaine patches for night pain (on my hips). They are prescription, which for me is less expensive than over the counter products. I get a large box for a nominal price. They can also be cut into smaller sizes for feet, etc. Just a helpful hint!
Hi. Please check the ingredients on your salon pas patches. If they they are the ones that contain methyl salicylate, they can cause poisoning if you use more than two in a day, and/or if you cover them, as with socks.

Lidocaine patches are the same -- more than two a day, and/or covering/bandaging, can have toxic side effects.

Are your "good pair of socks" thin, thick, compression...?
