Complications with Peripheral Neuropathy
I was diagnosed with PN in 2018 with symptoms of tingling and pain in my feet. First Medication was gabapentin, (caused dizziness and falling) along with baclofen. Now on Lyrica, Baclofen (3X's day) ,
Cymbalta at night for cramps, Lidocaine/Prilocaine cream on both feet, especially top and bottom of toes. The neuropathy is now in both feet, in calf muscles in both legs, Additional symptoms are pain, stabbing, shock like pain, balance issues (using cane) severe burning in both feet, both legs have redness where nerves are irreparably damaged. Pain is so bad at times I cannot walk without pain and it prevents me from walking and participating in many areas I loved to do in the past. Many alternative treatments, hard to know if any really work. thank you.

Do you have a diagnosis? PN is a symptom not a disease. Your symptoms sound a lot like my husbands He had sub acute degeneration of the spine and transverse myelitis.
@blowerk1216 One poster I believe is an actual spine surgeon has recommended Alpha Lipoic Acid, or ALA, for neuropathy. I'm trying it. and will be glad to post here if it works. My. neuropathy causes Ringling rather than pain.
