Hi Tony @tonydez, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You are right about neuropathy being very painful and no fun. There are many members that may be able to share their experience with you. I shared my neuropathy symptoms and what has helped me earlier on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

You mentioned you had to have part of your foot amputated possibly due to having high blood sugar for a long period of time. Do you have Type 2 Diabetes? There is another discussion which you might find helpful here:
