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

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?

3 ReactionsHas 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.
@johnbishop I did go on the site and am going to try some vitamins and minerals and try to walk more than I do..
Thank You 👍
