Hi,
There is a great neuropathy group on this forum.

I wouldn't want to wish this on anybody. This is the most horrible thing that I have had to endure in my life so far. Nothing helps. I can barely stand anything touching my feet. I take Cymbalta for the pain but it rarely works.

Kindly try Yoga Exercises under supervision.
God bless you.

@gba, Good to hear the Scrambler therapy relieved your neuropathy pain. Numbness is something a lot of us have. There are several good discussions on numbness from neuropathy along with a lot of different posts in other related discussions. The search function at the top of the Connect page can help you wade through a lot of the information until you see something that relates to your condition, symptoms, or situation. You might want to give it a try with your own search parameters. Here are the results using "numbness in feet +what helps" without the quotation marks

I'm so sorry. I am in your shoes, except numb with burning pain (toes up past my knees). The only think I know is to take good care of your feet! And wear good supportive shoes (I can only wear flip-flops.)
I have lost toenails, cut my feet, etc., and never knew it or felt it! (Yet I feel burning all the time! I don't get it, but it's a fact.). Be sure you get into the habit of checking and watching them for damage. I have also recently had a minor scrap on my shin that was tiny, became infected, then a huge open wound, and it took 3 months to heal it!
So, if you find damage - treat it immediately and keep a close watch. HTH I'm sorry I don't have anything better.

How do I introduce myself?
I'm in severe pain. Is there a mentor that can help me?

When I started to get burning, pins and needles, and numbness in my feet in 2017 tied to small fiber neuropathy, I researched treatments and came across the suggestion to take Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L Carnitine supplements daily. This has helped me quite a bit even prior to taking Cymbalta. I am starting to get more numbness in my feet when I walk but believe this is now tied to my lumbar spinal stenosis.

Hi @gba, I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled:
- Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-numbness-only-no-pain/
I did this so you could meet even more members talking about foot numbness in addition to @johnbishop, @jfn, and @debduh11 who you've already met. It sounds like scrambler therapy worked for your pain, which is great, what have you learned about your numbness to this point however?
