Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 8 hours ago | Replies (248)Comment receiving replies
I am 86 years old and have been pretty healthy all these years until this neuropathy pain started a few months ago in my right wrist and hand. I have had sleep problems because the pain wakes me up after about one hour. I have had numbness in the right side of my body for a few years but no pain. I have tried the cbd oil and chewables for about a month with no difference in my pain. The pain happens when I lay down.

Also 86 years with Non-diebetic PN for about 10 years. It’s now progressed from my toes to about midcalf. Hands are also an issue but feet are worse. Night pain in both feet begins in heels and top of arches after abut two hours every night. For those who haven’t tried this, I have had some had success with taking two Tylenols nightly and resting my ankles on a rolled up blanket with my feet hanging over the end. All I need is about a one and a half inch roll, just enough to keep my heels off the mattress, and that’s enough most nights to keep my pain away and improve sleeping. Won’t work for everyone but likely will help for some and it’s free.

Hello @alme838, Welcome to Connect. I have pain in my hands and wrist at night but mine is more related to carpal tunnel syndrome. @bernese53 started a discussion on the condition that you might find helpful - Carpal tunnel release: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/carpal-tunnel-release/.
Have you seen a hand specialist or other doctor about the wrist and hand pain?
