OP: Sorry you had to end up here, but welcome and glad you found this group. There are many causes for neuropathy and I truly believe there is a reason...I hear idopathic a lot but don't buy that, there is a reason. My issue started with a damaged and complications from a hip replacement and then a knee infection some yrs later, I do all supplements and 1 ibuprofen/1 extra strength tylenol every 6 hrs with FOOD in stomach. Plus I use many topicals to reduce and calm the pain.
