Neuropathy/bone Spurs In Back/degenerative Disc Decease/arthritis/gout

I have this going on plus Gurd. Has anyone been approved for laser surgery for the bone spurs. Meds help but have reduced my quality of life. I've been looking at Benfotiamine to see if it helps. Most info is about diabetic related neoropathy. Not sure about the cause of mine. Need to get some regular sleep. Need some input. Thanks

Hello, Patricia! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.

Neuropathy is really neuropathy, it's all nerve damage, so even studies on diabetic neuropathy and what helps it may be relevant to your situation and could help you. Most of the B vitamins are believed to help with it and those who suffer from nerve pain are often advised to take them. But you do have to be careful not to overdo it, since there can be complications from taking too much of some of them, such as B12.

What medications do you currently take?

What do you take to treat the GERD?

What have you tried to help with your sleep problem? Some people do well with just over the counter remedies, such as Melatonin, while others might need actual prescription medications, such as Ambien, which is used for the short term treatment of insomnia. Side effects to it may include nausea, dizziness, funny taste in mouth and next day hangover like effects.
