Has anyone found a treatment (NOT PILLS) that has helped neuropathy in the legs?

No. (Wanted to get that out of the way fast.)

But I have numbness in my feet that has been attributed to neuropathy also. So I'm very interested.

Unfortunately a high percentage of neuropathy cases are literally not diagnosable. It seems there are many possible causes. At least that is what a highly regarded neurologist told me. Sorry, I sincerely wish I could but I cannot really answer your question.

Yeah. My doctor basically said he was pretty confident of the diagnosis and then followed that by telling me there really wasn't anything to do about it.

Yeah. My quack has me taking Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg pills. No help. Good luck, GeoGeo.
