Another thing is I am a firm believer in training the mind. Apparently the brain can get into the habit of feeling pain when there is no pain. I would watch neuroscientist Vilayanur Ramachandran on **.to see him explain getting rid of pain from phantom limbs. I am hopeful that with capsaicin that wearing out the pain receptors can teach the brain that the nerve is healed.

Also you could stop carrying stuff in your pocket. The weight could be adding pressure to the nerve or dragging the pants down and adding pressure to the nerve that way. You could wear overalls.

And I would stay away from sugar. Diabetics have a difficult time with neuropathy and I found a doctor online with diabetes addicted to sugar who said sugar is a poison.
Are you using Capsacin "patches" now? How are they working for you?

Gosh, I posted and seemed to lose it in the ether so just in case:

No, I'm using capsaicin cream which seems to work so I'm going to use it more often. And I just bought capsaicin pads online and may try lidocaine pads too.

What also helps me is B12 methylcobalamin 5mg which I pop like candy. There's a lady online who says she cured her neuropathy with high doses of B vitamins. I take extra magnesium because according to the US Department of Health over half of Americans are deficient. Magnesium relaxes me. And I used to exercise in the mornings for the endorphins which are a more powerful pain reliever than morphine, which did help so I will start exercising again. Thank you everyone for contributing to this forum and for helping me stay motivated.

That is US Department of Agriculture not Department of Health. I take a good multivitamin too and try to get lots of sleep.
