Oldbat: Beside all the other THINGS that can cause Neuropathy, just hearing Dr. Wallach on the radio the other night, he says, foot neuropathy especially can be caused by degenerative discs in the back... I have lost about 3 inches from my 5' 5" body. With aging, we all lose disc space and this he says causes nerve damage down the legs into the feet. Stretch the body, I do every morning before I start my day, and waiting for my new order of Inosine which I've posted about that helps my issues... which came on from hip replacement in 2010......
