Which supplement was recommended for diabetic nerve pain?

@friends27 I have been using a mix of Voltaren and a Magnesium cream. It helps to take the edge off my buring feet.

Hello! I am having the same symptoms like you (plus burning sensations) but I couldn’t stand any prescription meds because of the side effects, mostly lightheaded and sleepiness.
To ease the symptoms I am trying rubbing my feet at night with magnesium oil, wearing during the day ice packs socks when resting, taking 2 Tylenol per day, exercises for feet and ankle, walking around 4000 to 6000 steps per day. If I walk more my feet will feel very painful. All these symptoms are never gone but they can be lessened. All the best!

Thank you for sharing!

@ corneliagd i am not trying to make $ of a direct marketing scheme, but I have taken Ambrotose for the past 25 years now. Friend of mine recommended to make a little $ and help me out! Been on it ever since!

Shtuff works wonders but will never be approved as a drug as it can’t pass the dreaded “how much it as well much”! It’s all natural and I tell ya works wonders.

Do a Google search on Ambrotose and go from there!

You should try taking ALA, Alpha Lipoic Acid, it's a supplement that was recommended to me by my PCP about 3 years ago. I also have idiopathic neuropathy in my feet and am taking the maximum dosage of gabapentin, 3600mg a day. He told me it might help to take the edge off of the pain along with the gabapentin, and it seems to be helping. I haven't had as many really bad nights pain wise since I started taking it. I'm taking 1200mg of ALA every day.

@corneliagd If I walk 1000 steps, I would soon be in even worse pain than usual! Glad you can do it.

I have tied so many different creams and ointments I have lost count. How many have helped? Zero, nada, ninguno.

@heisenberg34 thanks but 10000 steps happens very rarely! Most of the time is between 4000 and 6000. And sometimes o have to push myself! But life is going on no matter the no of steps! 😃

@corneliagd A good day for me is 1800 steps. Six years ago I was cycling thirty to fifty miles a week.
Perhaps I will try getting in 2000 steps a day for a week, then increase it to 2500 for a week and so on. My balance isn’t so great these days so I’d better take my phone… just in case I have to call her with the bad news, “Honey, I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!”.
