Question
Hi I have been told by a specialist that I have neuropathy in both of feet on the balls just below mt toes ,is there anything that will help this ,thanks  

Answer
Hi Herb,
There are medications that can help with the pain/abnormal sensations associated with neuropathy. Ask you doctor about gabapentin, amitriptyline and carbamazepine. These are commonly used medications for the treatment of neuropathy.
