Feet Neuropathy

Posted by maddie2233 @maddie2233, Sep 18 2:35pm

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...

B12 injections in the feet? Wow…now that’s an interesting idea. I actually did have B12 deficiency, but was never told to inject in my feet. I will pursue it.

It was the podiatrist who gave me the injections. I did some research on it as well. They say the B12 regenerates the nerves.

Watch out for the claims people make about vitamins. I don’t think B 12 will regenerate nerves. Some people find it helps with symptoms but they have an actual B12 deficiency. You can be tested for that.

From what I've been told countless times by several doctors, nerves can not be regenerated once they're damaged or have died. End of story.

I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency. I took injections and now still take sublingual tablets 3 times per week. Level in my blood is now in good range, but my neurologist says that just the amount in your blood, not your body.

I have looked at sublingual vitB12. The ones I bought are 1000mcg. It’s difficult to work out the dose because each 1000mcg tablet only supplies a very small dose of the vitamin into the blood stream ,I’m not sure exactly how much. The recommended daily dose of B12 is 2.4 mcg. The supplement manufacturers ought to state how much B12 is absorbed from one tablet and then the actual dose could be established

The podiatrist gave me B12 injections directly in the feet. Each week I would go in and he would inject one foot at a time. I didn't take any B12 supplements.

The B12 injections in the feet are not for B12 deficiency they are to relive pain be regenerating the damaged nerves in the feet.

The injections in the feet relive some of the pain. After getting them, I found that the frequency of my painful attacks were less, and a bit more tolerable. I'm aware there is no cure for feet neuropathy.

I figure that my doctor has taken all into account and thus my recommended dose. If you are concerned you might ask your doctor about injections. I’ve taken them before too.
