I have numbness, prickling or a tingling in both feet which spreads upward into my legs & then jumpy legs at night. Sometimes just a burning pain or an electrical shock out of the blue in a toe. I’ve tried Gabapentin but it left me feeling drugged all the time. I did physical therapy 3 times a week for 5 months & it helped a bit while I was doing it, especially the day of. I take 600mg of ibuprofen in the morning & 600mg more in the afternoon & it keeps me going. As anyone that has any kind of pain knows, we are always looking for relief & hopefully not in a pill or surgical form. Shock wave therapy sounds great & would love to hear if anyone has tried it and their outcome. Thx in advance

Shock waves, (Ultrasound) are widely used for the treatment of epicondylitis and plantar fasciitis and to foster bone and wound healing. But it hasn't worked for me and my neuropathy in my feet. So far, I have done 4 treatments at $350 a treatment. Do the math. If I got the slightest optimistic sign I would continue. This machine, I was told, was invented by the Israeli military. The treatment is ultrasound and a second part that supposed to correct the body from rejecting the initial treatment phase after it ends. This is the best way I could explain it. Good luck whatever you try. Wishing you a pain free life.

The drs have not said what kind of neuropathy I have-still have one more appt with the rheumatologist; but, none of the other drs have said what kind of neuropathy I have-I was told I had severe neuropathy after all of the other tests run at the Laureate Medical Center here. I'm like everyone else on this website just trying to find a relief from the pain. Now that I was not accepted at Mayo Clinic (my dr sent the referral) because their reply said that they would essentially be running the same tests as Laureate ran and probably have the same conclusion. Please tell me why people go to Mayo for neuropathy if they cannot actually do anything more than tell you that you have neuropathy? I am on the same drugs that alot of the other people are taking; but, with little success! (Pregabalin-Duloxetine.Tramadol, etc) Just looking for alternative treatments and not be scammed again)Shooting pains up to my calves! Do you, personally, have any suggestions?? Thank you!!!

Hi
My feet get very hot especially at night I also suffer from arthritis and experience low grade pain constantly
I found taking Benfotiamine 500mg per day helpful for cooling my feet According to directions you can take up to 1000mg per day
