Max, I see you are coming here from Finland. On your issues and telling us of your excellent health, I can only suggest a few things I've used and stgill do...The neuropathy I manage is from a hip replacement 11 yrs and nerve damage.

I rub my feet every night with Topricin for Feet and also some Ultra Tiger Balm and wear socks all day. Internally I have had great success withj Inosine and Sphingolin and overall good health due to taking Grape Seed Extract for decades. If these are available in Finland I don't know .

Do your feet burn/tingle?

Hi Caroline
Thank you for your comments.

Topricin - It seems that it is not available ion my country. Of course I can order it from somewhere.
Ultra Tiger Balm - I know this one and it is available in pharmacies.
Inosine - It is available here.
Sphingolin - Not available here.
Grape Seed Extract - I'll keep this in mind

Do your feet burn/tingle? - I don't feel burn very much. Only occasionally and it is not very painful. Same with tingle. The ball of my both feet are quite numb. Left foot more than right. I am puzzled that I might have something called metatarsalgia. There are quite sore places between my toes and the ball of my feet seem to be little bloated. I might still have neuropathy beside all this. There are over 2 weeks before I go to the ENMG test. I will meet a foot specialist before that.

Hang in there.
Still early days for you.
Might pay to hold back on the remedies until you have a diagnosis.

I get sore foot areas in hot weather when my feet swell or if shoes are too tight or don't fit well. My foot pain does fade away..
It may take a few months if due to poor shoes...but with good fitting shoes plus good shoe inserts , it's worth a try..

A skilled chiropractor may be worth a try to see it they can do some adjustments that will help... or acupuncture..

Hi Max,
Can you really diagnose polyneuropathy with a tuning fork? Why is a practitioner using a tuning fork in 2021? How sensitive and reliable and reproducible are those tests? You have no base line data to work with. What was your sensitivity like 10 years ago for example?

I have several of those symptoms you describe form time to time and they are not the end of the world. I barely notice them.
Peripheral nerves are able to heal themselves so adopt the optimum lifestyle for nerve health if you are worried by Peripheral Neuropathy. Diet, supplements, exercise, meditation, gratitude practises, for example.

Best wishes,

Atty

Thank you all for your encouraging messages.
Yesterday I met a foot specialist. Quite young lady who is not a doctor. She checked my toes and ball of both feet. She did find several places where a slight pressure did hurt. She said that the situation is not very bad but the nerves between toes might be a problem. She also found an extremely sore place in the middle of the foot bottom. In both feet. The reason for that is my high plantar arches. I passed all tests that this specialist asked me to do. The strenght of my toes are ok etc.
The foot specialist gave several exercises that I can do at home. For one of those I need a half of a tennis ball that I squeese under my toes.
I am also puzzled about the "30 seconds diagnose" of the orthopedist last week. I don't have a baseline. Maybe my feel of the tuning fork has slways been poor. I am a tall 6 feet 4 inches (192 cm) guy with long legs.

Hi Max1956,

Peripheral neuropathy is very common, and people usually get along with it, making some adjustments in their lifestyles. As someone has already said, the right type of shoes can make an amazing difference.

The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes. This information is from the UK's NHS and might answer some of your questions:

I hope you'll have good luck with your upcoming appointments.

Hmmm! Doesnt sound like neuropathy to me. I would just handle it as a foot condition. It could be nerves but not neuropathy. I have all 3 types of neuropathy and know the symptoms pretty well. I would look after my feet with some tender loving care
