Is there any help at all for foot numbness in PN

Good evening @wascaly, I have also been challenged by neuropathy in both of my feet. As I look back, I recall that my feet began to be numb shortly after I was tested for SFN, small fiber neuropathy at least 10+ years ago. I had just finished the SFN test in my left ankle and the neurologist was explaining the cause of the situation. He told me how sorry he was that I would have to cope with the numbness, especially in my left foot.

A few weeks later I had my first MFR session with a new therapist. She also took notice of the numb diagnosis and explained the treatment process. Although her MFR treatment style is considerably helpful, I have had to increase the therapy time to two hours a week.

Another long-time friend and MFR expert is a Mayo Connect group member. She has helped me learn how to apply the MFR teachings by myself with appropriate tools. Let's see if @jenniferhunter can share some information about effective tools for you.

I feel your pain !
I have suffered for 24 years.
Controlling my sugar helps.
I also wear PN compression socks at night. Really helps.
I am on Tramodol and Gabapentin at sunset. I find it starts in the evening.
I’ve had injections. Never helped. I go for foot reflexology. Fancy name for a great leg and foot message. It’s hard to stay still but it does help.
I wet and freeze white cotton socks to numb the pain. I find alcohol makes it worse. Especially the next day. What is your cause.
Mine was Pernicious anemia and diabetes. Best of luck .
