Nerve pain natural cures: I have neuropathy on both my feet. What can I do to help myself?

Neuropathy is a condition that most commonly afflicts diabetic patients and people who suffer from poor glucose control. There is no certainty bout how high levels of glucose would be before nerve damage sets in. The condition can be brought on by a lack of oxygen reaching the nerves, causing them to shrink, making it harder for nerve signals to be transmitted, as the gaps between cells increases. Diabetic patients are vulnerable because the nerves start to degenerate when blood sugar levels are high. Nutritional deficiencies, certain medications, chemical exposures, and pressure on nerves can also cause neuropathy.

The effectiveness of treatment is largely dependent on identifying the causes of and the type of neuropathy. When the medical condition and causes are identified promptly treatment is very effective. In severe cases however, even proper treatment can not reverse nerve damage.

In the case of diabetic neuropathy controlling diabetes is the most effective way to address the problem, while neuropathy brought on due to chronic renal failure can be addressed through renal dialysis. Neuropathy can be caused by substances in medication and toxins, and in such cases discontinuing the usage of such medications can eliminate the condition altogether. Nutritional neuropathy can also be treated with vitamin supplements and metafolin.

Physical therapy and acupressure have also been found to be quite effective in treating the symptoms.

Neuropathy is the name given to a medical condition where your nerves are in pain. This medical condition varies in degrees, frequency and even symptoms from one peron to another. I am afraid it is difficult to give you any suggestions based on the inadequate information in the question.

You should consult your doctor about the pain in your legs. You can make a difference to your life by making some changes to your diet. You should avoid eating food items like butter, milk, and soft drinks. In addition, you should stay away from sugar and other types of sweeteners. Chocolates, cane sugar and corn sugar too should be avoided.

Instead you should drink lots of vegetable juices. You can drink carrot juice, spinach juice or any other juice that you can make fresh every day. Drinking lemonade every morning is believed to be beneficial in treating this condition. Consuming organic food has been found to have a beneficial effect on people suffering from neuropathy. You should eat food that is natural rather than processed. Avoid food that uses large quantities of butter or oil in order to cook it. Eat balanced meals which contain large quantities of fresh vegetables.
