Anyone have diabetic neuropathy?

In your feet?

If your neuropathy has been helped..what med or treatment did you get? My sister has awful numbness in her feet plus horrible stabbing pain. It is heartwrenching seeing her in such distress. Any new ideas or neuropathy treatments welcome.

I’m still in the early stages, so it comes and goes. But a dentist (of all sources) suggested a foot soak of cheap commercial mouthwash !
It’s very soothing.

@bijouxbroussard Wow I never would have thought of that . So your symptoms (pain or numbness) are mild? I will tell my sister about the foot soak. Anything might help. She is trying to get laser therapy on her feet which supposedly help the pain or numbness. It is very pricey. She also may need nerve grafting surgery on her feet. This is all so rapid... the pain gets worse each day :(

@Coralmist At this point, yes. And since I lost some weight this year (although I don’t know if that’s a connection) edema and discomfort has stopped completely. I got my foot exam last month and there’s no numbness.
