What Do You Do For Neuropathy? It’s Causing Me Great Difficulty Walking Because My Leg And My Foot Are Both Numb.
I'm doing therapy and compression socks at night
I have horrible neuropathic pain, particularly in my toes. It's at its worst in the middle of the night (of course), when I'm trying to sleep. Sometimes, it makes my lower legs twitch -- in response to the pain, I believe. I take a heavy dose of gabapentin, which helps keep the pain in abeyance during the day, and a pain specialist has prescribed Tizanidine, which helps with the muscle spasms. If anyone has any suggestions for further treatment, please sound off in this forum. Cheers to all!😁
I'm allergic to gabapentin, so I rely on Tylenol and heavy doses of B12. Both take away the pain. Nothing helps the numbness.
Jim only takes the gabapentin at night. It works on the pain and helps him sleep.
Managing neuropathy, especially when it affects walking, can be challenging. Here are some strategies that might help, based on my knowledge base:
- Medications: Gabapentin and amantadine are mentioned as helpful for nerve pain. Gabapentin, in particular, has been noted to calm nerve pain in various parts of the body
