MIL (94) has diabetic nerve pain in feet and can't walk. Is this curable?

Uncle Dave, For gout, you want to dissolve the uric acid crystals. The MD can prescribe allopurinol but the patient must also change diet and drink lots of liquids. Vinegar helps dissolve crystals, but sour cherry juice is more palatable.

We've not been told that but we can ask.

Has she had a trial of medication specifically for diabetic neuropathy, like Lyrica?

Thank you pamstegma.

The pain will eventually become numbness. Treat the pain. No, there is no cure.
