Hello thanks for choosing HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Neuropathy occurs due to a number of reasons and to treat a neuropathic condition treatment of underlying cause is must. Diabetes, low vitamin B12 levels, thiamine deficiency, B6 deficiency, hypothyroidism, lead poisoning, drug toxicities etc are common causes of neuropathic conditions.

Medicines like Pregabalin, Gabapentin etc are commonly used for neuropathic conditions. These medicines help to control the pain associated with neuropathies and result in improvement. If the pain is severe and persisting then visit a doctor for evaluation and help.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
