OP: Read all the info in the PN forum here, lots of good info. And if your father went to doctor for this issue, good chance he would be given gabapentin and then that's a whole other story with side effects. A friend took that drug for years for statin induced PN and I witnessed her with some of t he side effects she lived with, not good. She's gone to other supplements and now off the statins and gabapentin.

Thank you. Time is of the essence, I am not sure how much longer he will be with us. This is someone who has never been to a doctor and the few times he may have, did not have a good experience.

Do I want Topricin foot or back pain or which one? His legs have terrible nerve pain and he cannot sleep. I gave him Taurine and it made the pain 100x worse. Does Topricin really stop nerve pain?

Buy the Topricin for foot pain and one can use it on all parts of their body. I keep a stock in my house and now have 3 bottles as I don't want to run out. The foot version is the same ingredients only it's a thicker consistency. It manages and reduces pain, and one needs TO USE IT, and up to 3-4 times daily or more as needed. Can your father take a pain med, I take 1 ibuprofen, 1 extra strength tylenol every 6 hrs and make sure I have food in my stomach. I even take it at 5:30AM as I've got it down to a 6 hr schedule.

What other health issues does he have, what is his age?

If you truly think his time is limited, you can contact & get information about Hospice.
