Brief Answer:
Treating the cause is the best treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The best treatment for neuropathy is to treat the underlying cause (diabetes, nerve compression, low vitamin B12, alcohol intake, etc.)

Drugs that may be used to relieve neuropathy symptoms (if the diagnosis is right ) include gabapentin, pregabalin, amitriptyline, vitamin B12 supplements etc.

Local application of capsaicin cream helps too.

Discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Feel free to discuss with me about your health issues.

Take care.
