Vick’s Vapor Rub for Neuropathy Pain

I agree with you. I wanted to thank John our Mentor for posting a link when I first came to the group. I found Vicks Vapor Rub helps with the tingling. It isn't as strong at night. I found also before when I slept on my side with my knees together the tingling would start, I also have used a pillow. Lately when I go to bed I have been propping my head up and laying on my back. I can sleep most of the night and not have the problem I was having before. I also read something about capcasin cream is also good. I just bought some today will see if it helps.

I have used the brand Capzasin/capsaicin .01 at night for a few days. It was even better than the Vicks. You have to be careful because it leaves the heat on your hands after washing. You might use plastic gloves. Don't touch your eyes.

Hello @myrnalf55, I see you have been following Connect since 2020 and this is your first post so I would like to officially welcome you to Connect! It is a great place to share experiences and learn what has helped others. I haven't used it for neuropathy numbness on my feet but have used it for many other things. My most memorable miss use was rubbing it inside my nostrils instead of on the upper lip to help open my sinus. When I was a kid we always got a chest rub to help us breathe better when we had a cold so I thought it might work well in the nose...NOT. 🙃
Do you also have neuropathy?
