No success, unfortunately. Have lived with it for many, many years …

I just remember back when my neuropathy pain was so bad and limiting. The numbness is a welcome relief even though it's caused other problems.

I have numbness in my feet and calves, but never pain with my neuropathy, and that's a blessing. Originally started with just the toes and part of my feet, but it has progressed up to the top of my knees now after 25 years. Nothing I have taken has caused nerve sensation to return even though medical literature says non-spinal canal nerves can frequently regenerate. I took no treatment or meds for probably 20 years, then took Gabapentin for 5-6 years, and now I'm on Pregabalin 50mg for about 1 year because Gabapentin made me sleepy. Of course, I have a balance issue while walking or standing due to the lack of sensation in my feet. I'm 79 years old, walk 3 miles everyday, and find that walking at a fast pace greatly improves my balance (only during the walk). I'm interested in finding something that will improve the numbness so as to avoid accidental, undetected injury to my feet and legs.

My Neurologist recommended 4percent Lidocaine in a roll on or cream. No menthol!
Seems to end a lot of numbness. Especially in my less effected foot.
Hope this helps! He recommended using it 2X per day.
Good Luck! Pat
