I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETIC NEUROPATHY. I WAS TOLD IT IS MORE IN MY UPPER EXTREMETIES, NOT MY LOWER ONES. HOWEVER, I GET SEVERE PAINS IN MY LEGS, MOSTLY MY KNEES, AND MY ARMS AND HANDS ARE FINE. MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDED TAKING ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID. I AM ALSO GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY, WHICH HAS NOT HELPED THE PAIN IN MY LEGS AT ALL. THE ONLY MEDICATION THAT HELPS A LITTLE IS ADVIL. PLEASE, I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON THIS. v n 9 2i k
