Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet which has progressed over the years. I am taking Lyrica which mitigated the pain much of the time but n to always. Sleeping is often a problem. I saw a full page ad in my local paper advertising a seminar on the use of stem cell therapy as a treatment with PN. I am intrigued and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with that procedure or has knowledge about it.

Hello @rpercy7, welcome to Connect. As promising as stem cell research is for a lot of things, I don't believe there has been any successful treatments for neuropathy. You might want to read through the following discussion and meet other members who are discussing stem cell therapy for neuropathy.

Groups > Neuropathy > Stem Cell Therapy for Neuropathy

There are also some warnings about all the stem cell clinics popping up.
