How Can Peripheral Neuropathy In The Hands Be Treated?

Yes I have peripheral neuropathy in my hands due to toxity. I have had 3 failed back surgeries. I have lived with sciatica for years, but after my 3rd surgery. I know have back pain, and the sciatica. I was done!! 2 more hours I would have been in peace!! Instead I suffer even more!! It has been almost a year. I am so depressed!! In almost a year I have 90% of my strength back. The pain is still there. My little finger feels like a rubber band is wrapped around it, and cutting off the circulation. I know what nerve pain is, and it feel like my sciatica in my hands. My fingers are numb. This is not living. This only surviving for other people!!
