Since there are many causes of neuropathy, hence treatment involves seeking these conditions out and correcting any underlying problem such as poor sugar control in diabetes in order to get a relief in your symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure of neuropathy but symptomatic relief can be provided. Hope this helps.
org/diseases-conditions/diabetic-neuropathy/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20371587. Diabetic neuropathy is uncomfortable and we hope you are able to effectively alleviate it. Work with your doctor for guidance. The most important thing is to slow the progression which means controlling your diabetes. Keeping your numbers in the target range is important for controlling diabetic neuropathy. Gabapentin is a choice and there are others.
My main problem now is the pain, numbness, dropping things all of the time because of pain/numbness in hands, have trouble being on my feet due to the neuropathy. Was on insulin, Novolo 70/30 and it worked pretty well, however, caused my ankles and feet to swell to a point where walking is very painful. I'm looking for something other than Vicodin, Percocet and Neurontin (3600 mg/day) to use for pain. The Vicodin works a little bit, as does the Percocet.
Numbness, tingling and sensitivity to touch or muscle weakness are signs of neuropathy. Symptoms include chronic pain, numbness and muscle wasting. Neuropathy is a long-term complication of diabetes, and takes years to develop. Nerve damage occurs over time due to prolonged exposure to damging affects of high blood glucose levels. Consult an endocrinologist for prescription of drugs like pregabalin, thiamine for the neuropathic pain relief. Hope this helps. Take care.

There is a book, "Pain Free 1-2-3" by Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., that has many suggestions for treating pain from neuropathy.
Alot of the information is also on his website, endfatigue (dotcom).

Hi,
I unfortunately have non-diabetic neuropathy..I am not a doctor but have picked brains of many and read read read....
I have read that there are two modalities to treat neuropathy pain..
The first are meds that years ago were first line meds for depression..examples are nortriptylline, amitriptylline..these have been staples for nerve pain now..
The second types are anti-seizure medications such as neurontin..
A newer medication we hear a lot about is lyrica..
s an even slight chance that the cervical disk problem might be causing the neuropathy and that I will get relief by having this surgery. I'm not having the surgery for that reason, but because I'm having an ever-increasing problem with my right arm and hand because of the disk herniation. I'm just hoping to get a "double bang for my buck" by getting some relief of the neuropathy. Thank you for your answer.
Hi, I have Diabetic Neuropathy in my feet. I take Gabapentin that helps. I was given an advertisement for an over the counter medication called Neuragen. Has anyone heard of this or tried it? Thanks!
My mother is diabetic, my older sister is completely bedridden due to some type of neuropathy which severely affects her motor skills and more. I have been on several medications trying to keep these symptoms in check. I'm not sure if I can remember all of them, but ... prozac, buspar, elavil, topamax, Trileptal, and I've had immune globulin IV treatments. I've tried massive doses of B vitamins with no result. I cannot take steriods because they cause hysteria in me.
Tingling or burning in the arms and legs may be an early symptoms of Diabetic Neuropathy. It often begins in your toes and feet. You may have deep pain, often in the feet and legs and obviously it can effect other extremities.
As said above there are medications to help control your symptoms. Maintaining your BS within normal limits is even more important if you have developed Diabetic Neuropathy.
PVD produces similar symptoms and is also more common in diabetics.
I have pain associated in Diabetic Neuropathy in my feet. I have started taken Gabapentin for the pain. Will Gabapentin effect my blood sugars?
I have intact superficial sensation. I take anti-inflammatory meds and the amount of pain relief is about 85% with weight bearing, without meds my pain with weight bearing is 8 on a 1-10 scale. My PCP want me to stop the meds because of possible damage to the kidneys eventually. This is why I am asking if the neuropathy can be a compression neuropathy due to the destruction of the OA which began about 10 years ago with neuopathic signs beginning about 5 years ago.
Peripheral neuropathy is more of a symptom than a diagnosis. I guess Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy (Peripheral Neuropathy with unknown cause) could be a diagnosis. Peripheral neuropathy can be from toxins (including alcohol,) Diabetic Neuropathy, etc. Once all the "symptom related diseases" have been ruled out, and you can't find a cause, then a diagnosis of Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy would seem appropriate.
