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