Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy On The Soles Of Feet
I have developed peripheral neuropathy, non-diabetic, on the soles of my feet and my heels. It is growing more painful and uncomfortable. I am concerned, worried. I am 63, on lithium x 10 months, newly relocated, this won t have medical coverage for up to 3 months. I would not ordinarily go to a walk-in clinic for such a neurological concern. Yet my question is, might I in fact get some help for this in a walk-in clinic? Thank you.

Hi You feel that you have developed peripheral neuropathy in your feet and heels which is growing more painful. I think that what you have probably is c condition called plantar fascitis which causes this type of pain. take any painkillers for 2-3 weeks ,do a hot fomentation twice daily and use only soft footwaer. If there is no relief in 2 weeks then consult your doctor.
