I have severe neuropathy. I am on Gabapentin, which seems to do nothing.

I have hepatitis of the liver, so I can not take certain meds.

Can anyone tell me if they are on something that helps the pain? I can stand the numbness and pins and needles. The newest thing is that I get these horrible throbbing pains in the sides of my feet. Not both feet at the same time...just one at a time. The pain is so bad that I’m in tears.

There has to be something that can ease the pain that doesn’t go through the liver.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Welcome witchywoman9399. Someone will be along.

So sorry for all your misery OP, I developed neuropathy after hip replacement in 2010, what a mess that was. So for me my supports over the last almost 11 yrs is:

Topricin Homeopathic Lotion for all pains issue, I buy 8 oz bottle, this truly works.
I also like a lot, Ultra Tiger Balm for feet and knees.
Recently I started with Badger Foot Balm and it helps too I'm finding.

All over antioxidant I've been taking for decades is Grape Seed Extract.

I do take low dose otc pain pills ever 6 hrs and always on food in stomach.

Inosine is a great support to reduce/calm neuropathy and I'm not taking it now as the burning/tingling is not around now. I avoid gabapentin etc but I know of others who took it and are off it....this one friend does a lot of supplements for decades of neuropathy.

Hope I've helped, it's not an overnight thing....and keep off high sugars and carbs.....

Drink plenty of water thru the day.

Hey witchywoman,

Welcome to the forum. Please will you be more precise about the location of your foot pain. Do you mean the outside of you foot for example? And how far along the foot?

Best wishes,
Atty
