Anyone got any good ways of trying to treat it. I had some health problems last year and the last straws of it are gout and neuropathy. I went and took some tests after I got out of the hospital and they told me I had it. I guess it's good information to know what it is but they didn't really give me much guidance. I did buy a nice foot massager and it does provide temporary relieve but nothing long term. Really I just can't really feel my toes, especially on my right foot. If I were to try to stand on my tip toes, well, it just doesn't work. Any ideas?

You might consider scheduling a visit with a Podiatrist. Check reviews and see if you can find any mention of neuropathy as a specialty. I have a friend who suffers from the condition and he told me that he was given some good advice and exercises to help with the issue. Just a thought ...
GOOD LUCK to you, as I know it can be really painful and bothersome.

As somebody who knows. Spinal issues also can affect standing on your toes and heals. Stenosis is the primary cause. I do not know if you been down that road (seeing and spinal specialist) and or had more than one prognosis, but if you have not, I suggest you do so.
Glenn, I am currently dealing with peripheral neuropathy. It began shortly after starting chemo two years ago. Foot cramps have been so severe at times I could not function. I remember sitting in the back of my former BIL car roughly 5 minutes after he picked me up from Frankfurt GE airport last March 16 when foot and leg cramping became nearly unbearable. Finally subsided after a few minutes.
- Monitor your salt intake. 3 weeks ago, I prepared Spaghetti Tonno e Burro (tuna spaghetti). Cooked the noodles in salt water per directions. Excruciatingly painful cramps followed around 12 midnight.
- Limit alcohol. I've been dry since 1/1 shortly after midnight. Probably indulge in moderation next month during KY visit and again during upcoming vacations over the summer.
- B12: little-to-no effect on me. If effective for others, then go for it. More power to ya.
- Lots of water and Gatoraide. Helps some. but problem still remains.
- Tylenol: 1-2 tablets after a long walk also helps.
- Get comfortable shoes.
Reduced my walking. Usually take short 30-45 minute walks these days. Sometimes an hour. I'm scheduled soon to see a vascular specialist. Stay tuned.
Good luck to you. I wish you all the best confronting peripheral neuropathy. .

Try these. It has helped me. Wish u the best. Neuropathy sucks. Well I can’t get the picture to paste but the pills are called Terry Naturally Healthy Feet And Nerve pills. Got lots of different levels of vitamin B. Website that I found best is Naturally Healthy Concepts. They will give u 15% off your first order and shipping always free. Good luck.
Yeah, good luck with that, it’s not going to go away. I’m taking gabapentin, feet are numb and if putting weight just on the ball of a foot, while stooping down, it’s a stabbing pain you won’t forget! Tried everything that I could find and was told to try! Nothing really works so you just have to deal with it.
