I would suggest researching peripheral neuropathy for supplements and available treatments. Make sure you do not have diabetes or bad circulation.Stay away from Neurontin as there are many side effects

Depends on your diagnosis. This could be due to diabetes as peripheral neuropathy. Or vascular compression or impingement of a nerve. Might need neurontin after a nerve conduction study.

Probably not. You may want to consider some physical therapy to address the sural neuropathy.

Acupressure may help but I would discuss with your neurologist about adjustment of the medication you are taking, as changing the dose may give you relief

I would think that they probably wouldn’t do anything except lighten your wallet. I would seek an opinion from a neurosurgeon or pain specialist. This may be your lower spine or Charcot Marie Tooth disease. This is easy to diagnose.

Acupuncture with an expert may help. Slippers will not. There are some medications that can help with the pain. A pain management doctor could help you.

Hello,


I'm not sure that sural neuropathy would cause burning in the sole of your foot. The posterior tibial nerve innervates the sole of your foot. I would see a foot specialist to see if you have tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Acupressure slippers may help. Ask your neurologist if they think IV Immunoglobulin therapy might help with your problem. It does not work for everything but sometimes is miraculous. Also, Capsaicin creams may help if you use them correctly. Orally, you can take gabapentin or Lyrica for the pain. If it is only numbness and there is no pain associated with the problem, you may not find relief. Neuropathy pain is sometimes treatable. The numbness usually is not correctable.

Hi, when it comes to neuropathy, it is very important to find out the reason for the neuropathy. neuropathy means the nerve is loosing the feeling and function of what it suppose to do. Burning sensation is the symptom of your body telling you the nerve is abnormal. Causes can be numerous from diabetes, alcohol, lead, trauma, injury etc... Ones the cause is found and addressed, then the treatment options can begin to help. To address your question, accupuncture slippers can help with the symptoms, but may not help the cause of your neuropathy.

You must be evaluated there is no fast answer
