Hello.

Alcoholic neuropathy often takes weeks to months to recover from. Recovery also depends upon the duration and severity of the alcohol intake and the neuropathy.

You should also be taking vitamin supplementation to hasten the recovery process.

Symptoms not going away.  Left foot/ankle have been increasingly swelling for last month or so.  By end of day, cannot put on shoe.  Went to have veins checked today to rule out a blood clot, everything checked out okay.   Any suggestions?????
