How Can Peripheral Neuropathy Be Treated?
I am taking levothyroxine for low thyroid. I took this years ago and I always had neuropothy in my feet. The same thing is happening again. I took Armour thyroid and didn t have much of those problems. Is this a problem usually and what can I do to solve this problem? Is there a better medicine for me to be taking

Hi welcome to the health care magic
For hypothyroidism, levothyroxine is good drug
According to TSH level dose of levothyroxine adjusted...
I need to know your TSH level and dose of levothyroxine for more comment
Also check your diabetes, b12 level for neuropathy evaluation
With the control of hypothyroidism mostly your symptoms will resolve
Consult physician for examination and further work up accordingly
If needed NCV testing, kidney and Liver profile also should be checked
Take care
Hope your concern solved
