“Can neuropathy in the legs go away?”

As always, this answer does not constitute medical advice. I would advise talking to your Primary Care doctor or Neurologist.

Peripheral neuropathy is often treated by medications such as gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, or amitriptyline. PT can be important as well as controlling your blood glucose if it is related to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In some cases, spinal cord stimulation can be very useful in peripheral neuropathy. Within the last year or so, diabetic peripheral neuropathy is now an on-label indication for spinal cord stimulation. I would talk to a neurologist or spine doctor about your options.

Generally, neuropathy is not rectified with any treatment if it is long lasting. It is difficult to treat neuropathy. The origin of the neuropathy needs to be known. If it is diabetic neuropathy, then correcting of the blood glucose is helpful. If it is neuropathy from chemotherapy or some other toxic agent, this is often permanent and, not repairable

Sometimes, numbness from spinal stenosis is wrongly called neuropathy and will improve with surgical treatment of the spinal stenosis. Numbness from neuropathy is typically in a stocking distribution and unfortunately, there are no specific treatments for a peripheral neuropathy. Ken S.
