Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

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.

I take the same supplements and I have zero pain. I do have numbness and tingling in my feet, and I still walk like I drank a bottle of alcohol. But zero pain.

Interesting! I wonder if they'd help me. My neuropathy isn't tied to small fibers or anything except delaying a surgery for a ruptured disk that damaged my nerve roots - at least nothing else has shown up on testing (EMG's). So, I wonder if it will help me, since it's apparently from mechanical causes and so far, hasn't been tied to any other cause?
I wonder though, is it really helping since it's still spreading?
