Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Posted by bigjohnscho @bigjohnscho, Jul 1 10:27am

I suspect that everyone on this forum has been searching for a medication that helps their neuropathy and even though you no that all the internet claims are false we continue to waste hundreds of pounds. Desperation is a powerful force. Has any one been fortunate enough to find a genuine treatment. I just can’t believe that there are so many awful people who prey on our vulnerability and knowingly orchestrate such elaborate scams.

@lindabyrne38 I would love to walk but have many back issues as well as leg and foot neurophy. I take B12 as well as lots of other vitamins
I'm taking 2 Calcium Citrate a day and the pain in the legs has lessened, but not in my feet.
My feet are painful which makes it harder to walk.

@maggie76 I had pain in my feet so have been using red light therapy for six years at home. The pain is gone but not the numbness.
I have just started taking B6 and Alpha Lipoic Acid and B12

What do you do for red light therapy?

There are many devices on the market. It is important to buy one that is medical grade and made in the US. I chose foot and ankle pads made by HealthLight because it had good reviews. I use it for 20 minutes a day. It cost $1800.

I agree,we all need to be careful and spend our hard earned dollars or pounds on false cures.
I am involved in a clinical trial for a drug that helps deal with the pain but not the numbness.

We should not spend our money on false cures!
So far the trial drug doesn't seem to be doing anything to help with my symptoms, it's a blind study,so I my be receiving a placebo. I'll see how it goes and follow up.
