Neuropathy in leg and feet

Posted by halliebelinda @halliebelinda, Jul 19 7:40pm

I have neuropathy in my left leg and both feet. Is anyone on a medication that will help heal the nerves?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Hello @halliebelinda, Welcome to Connect. I don't think any of the medications heal the nerves but mainly are used to provide relief from the pain symptoms.

Have you recently been diagnosed with neuropathy in your left leg and both feet or have you had it for awhile?

I've had it for awhile mostly in my leg and just recently in my feet

@halliebelinda Not sure if you have seen the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy website but they have a lot of complementary and alternative therapy treatment information on their site here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.

Has your doctor run the standard tests. We often don’t find an exact cause but it is worth checking.

I haven't had any testing because I follow neuropathy sites and know that's what it is..I may try one of the creams I've read about.
