I have residual neuropthy in feet and legs. Are nerve drugs OK?

Welcome @goldmark3, There are many hyped up nerve repairing neuropathy cures on the market and the only way we can help ourselves is to learn as much as we can about our condition and what treatments are available to us that might provide some relief, especially for those that have painful symptoms of neuropathy. A good place to start learning more about available treatments including complementary and alternative treatments is the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.

There are also many discussions here on Connect where members have shared what has helped them. Here is a search of Connect that lists the member discussions and comments if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=neuropathy%20what%20helps.

Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and any treatments that you have tried?

There isn't anything currently available that can repair damaged nerves, and IMO, there never will be. Once a nerve has been cut, damaged, or has died, that's it. They can treat the symptoms to a certain extent for some people, but there's NO CURE. It's a lifetime diagnosis for those of us who suffer with the numbness, burning, and pain caused by this condition.
I started having symptoms over 10 years ago, when I got home from work my feet began to be painful with some burning. It began to worsen over time to the point that this, along with the worsening osteoarthritis in my knees and hips, forced me to walk away from my job after almost 17 years, and go on permanent disability. Next week will be 10 years of living in chronic never ending pain, burning, and numbness.
Buck up, it's going to be a long, bumpy ride.

Thank You very much for your response and the links you provided.
I first got numbness and some mild irratation after a total hip surgery. The surgeon stretched the nerve a little too much and getting better over time was not the eventual result. It has become more of a concern over time although I do not have to take any sort pain relief medication.
The numbness in my left foot and ankle showed up after the second back surgery. Both of the surgerys were done to relieve pain radiating down both legs. I also have a stenosos which complicated both the conditions which resulted in a surgical intervention.
The numbness in my left leg is a nuisance but once again, I do not have to resort to pain medication for relief.
I should also add that I take a low dose of Lirica twice a day which was prescribed after the second Back surgery.
After reaqding some of the stories about intractable pain, I consider my self very lucky.

Thanks for your help and your opinions.
