Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Well I got my letter from the Mayo Neurologist dept. They did a “deep dive” into my medical records. I had hoped that Mayo , since they have an extensive research, I had hoped that they could provide some new research treatments. The response was due to patient capacity and that they couldn’t offer any other treatments than what I am already doing. ☹️
So I am on my own. !
What is my personal treatment : I have left leg and left foot neuropathy. ( However there are many types of Neuropothathy). I have tingling sensation , easily irratedq by pants , socks, shoes, numbness down outer thigh, outside of leg calf, around the kneecap, around the ankle bone, and diminishing sandy feeling bottom of foot under toes and along right side of left foot. My personal daily health plan. AM. Alternating days of Physical therap exercises, yoga exercises, TENS unit application ( pads in proper place), Antiflamitory fruit, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, ginger, protein powder, apple cider vinegar, etc. shake, pils: D3, multivitamin, Tumeric, Krill oil,, multi vitam B vitamin. All of good quality. ( no synthetic ). ( there is a difference !). Deep tissue massage. ( look for a massage therapist trained in deep tissue massage). It’s not Swedish massage!). It can be painful sometimes). Accupuncture for pain in back ( after extensive failed back surgery). On going Pysical therapy, magnesium lotion on leg and whole foot.
It’s time consuming. I have to balance my daily life activities and what I do for my neuropathy.
I’m currently researching studies about the Sural nerve and Tibial nerve entrapment. Thanks for listening. Watch out for scams and poor quality ingredients.

That's strange because I filled out and submitted an application over a week ago. I received a phone call the next day from them with some additional questions. They also told me that the application I submitted was for neurology and that neurology had suggested my application get sent to their neuropathy group. I was told to expect a response between 7-10 business days. I'm going to remain hopeful!

That is their procedure. They will request all your records, then they meet and decide if they have time for you.

You are trying so many things ….alas to no avail you did not however mention reflexology, I am experiencing some relieve using that modality 2x a month and a massage gun nightly. I quit taking the gabepentine just masks the nerves for me, I want to feel my feet sorry but neurologist are now a waste for me, I still use turmeric (helps with inflammation) and vitamins as well. Good luck to you !

@putsy it sounds to me like you are doing everything, and more to help yourself. Mayo is always overwhelmed so I’m not surprised you couldn’t get an appointment. It is very hard when you have gone through all their “hoops” and they turn you down.

There is no cure, no magic bullet that will cure Neuropathy. Those of us with Neuropathy are in pain. There are scammers out there who prey on us. They try to sell us lotions, potions, and gadgets that don’t work.

I’ve had Polyneuropathy for 10 years as a result of an autoimmune disease. There is one supplement I take that helps a little it’s Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) I take 600mg. twice a day.

I wish you the best!

I have been reading a little about the benefits of turmeric which it seems is included in some supplements and in most cases it states that it is the curcumin in the turmeric that is important(hope I’ve got the correct spelling) .Where do you buy the turmeric,is it a powder? how do you take it and at what dose. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks, John
