Hi kirsteenatom,


How you treat PN depends on what's causing it, or at least that's my understanding of it. More information here:

Peripheral Neuropathy Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

I have MS, osteoarthritis and diabetes. My PN symptoms are probably diabetes-related.

For me, exercise seems quite helpful. I also try to avoid constricting clothes like socks that bind. I wear diabetic socks--they're pricey but much more comfortable than regular socks.

But what works for one person may not work for another.
