Does anyone have a remedy for neuropathy in the hands? My husband has diabetes and this is a side effect.?



My husband has tied wrapping them in cloths, baths, sitting on them, rubbing them till they were red and chapped.

I was on lycira, just be careful and watch any side effects, I actually had worse pain taking it, what has helped me is getting chiropractic adjustments, yes chiropractics can adjust the hands as well as the vertebrae that help with the function of the hands.

i have answered this similar question dozens of times but people here are not believers. buy alpha lopoic acid at the health food store and take 300 mg twice a day..it never fails,you can look up the research if you want to.
i use it ...5 years already no side effects
Therer is a new medication called Lyrica which is approved for diabetic neuropathy. It requires a prescription. Ask his doctor about it. From what I hear, it's effective for a lot of people.

Also, make sure he keeps his sugars under tight control. All of the side effects of diabetes are made worse by poor glucose control. I know you want to help him prevent blindness and kidney failure, two serious complications of diabetes.

Hope that helps.
I'm a doctor.
There are several medications that can help, but the process of trial and error can try the patience of a saint. Please try to keep him from rubbing them raw. I'd hate for him to injure them and lose a hand.
