Hi Jim, Bob - here is the link to the group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/SPNPD/. I have the numbness in both legs and feet but no pain so have not needed any drugs. Although I was put on gabapentin for about a month earlier this year until I told the doctor team it wasn't helping with the numbness. They had a group discussion and we talked about the symptoms more which is when they told me the drug does nothing for numbness...only addresses the pain. I started taking the protocol/supplements in September and the numbness was in both legs from just below the knee down through the toes. Today the numbness feels like it's just above the ankles which is some progress. A lot of members in the group report quicker results and hopefully both of you will see results sooner than later.

Thanks, John.
Bob, thanks for the website. Right now, I'm working with a pain specialist, waiting to start the process of giving a spinal cord stimulator a try. I try to make only one change at a time, so I know just what works and what doesn't.
Gotta go. We're in town, shopping after the morning church service.

<br><br><br><br>Hi, <br>I use a cream that I rub into my feet three times a day and as the pain got <br>less and less I quit using it only if I have a flare up.<br>It is called DermaTran Health solutions. I am almost pain free except when <br>it starts again and then I just start rubbing in some for about a week and am <br>pain free again.<br>If you want more info I can send it to you.<br> <br>
Hi Jim, I have a similar problem but only in my left foot and leg that started 8 years ago. I had burning pain in both buttocks, both legs, and both feet caused by lumbar stenosis. After two spinal surgeries I'm left with this burning pain and numbness in my left foot and lower leg. I have tried most non opiate medications and now on Gabapentin at 1600 mg/day. I am trying the Protocol of large doses of vitamins and supplements. It can be found on a private FB site called Solutions to Peripheral Neuropathy. I'm just started trying this. Maybe it could help you too. I pray it helps. Bob
