Default r-lipoic could be a good supplement for PN by trauma?

Depending on whether this is a solution for you...that is.

It took a while to get to where you are, so metabolically it will take some time to reverse.

The slowest supplement I ever did was d-ribose.

Benfotiamine was pretty quick for me. (so is thiamine).

I didn't feel anything with alpha. I use the r-lipoic now.
But some here do get results with the alpha form.
Dear mrsD
i read on another topic you said that a supplement could help specifically for toxic pn.
Do you know with r-lipoic can help with neuropathy from physical injury?
my main symptom is stiffness at the right foot, burning either hot or freezing.
im taking B12, B1 which has been helping
im thinking to take cayenne too, read that can help nerve regeneration
these supplements can be expensive, so i want to try something that might help in my case. I tried alpha lipoic and didnt make any difference, just for pocket
thank you
lots of love

I am thinking to help with healing from injury you need to provide the building blocks for nerves... which is good fats.
Omega-3 fats, flax oil and fish oil. The DHA in the fish oil helps with building membranes.
B12, folic acid also help, along with a Bcomplex 50mg and a good magnesium supplement . The B6 and the magnesium helps the Omega-3s get metabolized properly. These are the basic repair nutrients, but you can add whatever else you want.

You will also need to see if your trauma has led to an RSD situation, and the burning/freezing thing might be a part of that.
Is there discoloration or swelling in your damaged foot?
Our RSD forum here has pictures on a sticky link to show what some of the members' RSD looks like. It can take alot of time for nerves to grow back. Mine took years in my surgical foot.
