Neuropathy in Feet: B12 injections, PRP & Stem Cells?
I have neuropathy in both my feet. Pain, numbness, tingling and burning. I have a massager which has a vibration mode, I apply topical solutions at night, being night time is the worse. I also had a podiatrist give me a bunch B12 injections right in my feet. It's supposed to regenerate the nerves. Tomorrow I have a Dr's appointment and I want to ask him about PRP or Stem Cell Treatment. Has anyone had either one done, or know anyone who did?
Thank you in advance for whatever information you can share...

Yes, I have the same problem. The nerves in my feet are getting worse. One doctor actually performed surgery on the leg for the nerves. However it didn’t work so I’m stuck here with neuropathy of legs and feet. Yes I take Lyrica 3 times a day but it doesn’t help like I wanted to.
Totally agree with you. Nothing has been shown at this point to regenerate nerves. It’s sad some Dr’s prey on people’s hopes to push this stuff. I guess there’s always the possibility the placebo effect can work.
My new foot dr mentioned about giving me B12 shots in my feet but she wants to hear from my vascular dr because I have poor blood flow in my feet also.Has anyone heard of this being done?
@linmary358,
I combined your discussion with an existing discussion on foot neuropathy and different treatment options for it including b12 shots. @maddie2233 started the discussion:
