Foot neuropathy

Posted by thighirritationno1 @thighirritationno1, Jul 7, 2024

Would there be a possibility that gabapentin use increase foot neuropathy?

I had been suffering with toe and foot pain at night with no relief from Gabapentin. However,
I have started using High adsorption Curcumin from Turmeric Root by Doctor's Best and have received total relief from pain or burning in my feet. Hope this helps.

Yes I’ve used it along with other
“Misc” paste on my feet for over six months: I have no answer for your question other than it works for me:
I’m concerned about it making a drug slave out of me:

Hi @mikeb11027 ,
Could you please define the 'shock therapy unit'? As I have found the shocck wave therapy to be the most effective treatment for my neuropathy, after the cold laser. I am curious about doing this at
home.

Does R-Lipoic Acid really work. I’ve tried it at low dose and it’s upsetting my stomach and not much improvement . I’m losing hope of finding a solution. Is there anything that works can anyone offer some much needed encouragement.

I will mention again that, when Gabapentin and Lyrica didn’t work 100% for me ( side effects, still had some neuropathy “feelings”), I switched to Tegretol. You can read my story elsewhere on this forum. Tegretol took away all my burning pain. However, because of weight gain, I am currently switching to Lamictal. That is not going as smoothly, and I’m not sure it’s going to work for my pain. However, I’ve been able to diet and have lost 13 pounds so far.
I have SFN.
