Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?

Posted by Donald @donfeld, Jun 8, 2020

THC or marijuana for me relieves pain from neuropathy. It works every time takes a few minutes and a few puffs of smoke and it comes it down for some crazy reason that makes this drug so popular.

I was using the essential oil , mixed with extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil. I didn know much about how to use it so i combined the two in my hand and massaged it i to my hip and butt where i felt the pain. It releved the pain in about 5 min. I massaged the area the entire time. I also used it on my knees. Im going to use the balm refured to in the post. GOOD LUCK

Turmeric massage relieves nerve pain . Before I went on cabamazepine I had gum pain from trigeminal neuralgia. I made a paste of raw honey and turmeric powder. Then massaged the painful gum. Good luck.

I use a THC cream. My feet go their happy place, and stops the burning/stabbing. It's expensive, so i only use it when it's really bad. The rest of the time, I use carts. 85% works good for me.

What is "carts"?
This sounds very hopeful.

Just curious - did you have tingling and numbness? I don't have pain in feet and hands just tingling and numbness and curious if frankincense and myrrh help with that?

No to your question. Mostly a tightness and very slight burning sensation in the ankle area. Occasionally some drastic pain shooting up the lower legs. 3 Wisemen control my issues very nicely.

I appreciate the info. My problem is my feet. Dies the balm get absorbed quickly or will I need to wear socks after applying?

Thanks for your question @johnnysneakers. That's short for Cartridges. It's a marijuana extract (THC), used with a vape pen. (about $35/cart) I have a medical marijuana card so i can purchase for medical use. The THC cream is $40 for 2oz. You can make your own cream, by adding THC oil to any cream of your choice, which is cheaper. Both of these choices (cream or vape) work for me, numbing my feet and helping me sleep thru the night. The cream does not show up in any drug related test. Just FYI for those who work. The cream also doesn't make you stoned either.

Hi
I always need to know more when nerve pain is mentioned. I need to first ask if there was a specific nerve that you were referring to in your post?...( this quote: "Those symptoms are worth having nerve pain fixed.")
What symptom? All help needed!
I have Sciatica and Peripheral Neuropathy, which are of course, what I call "nerve-nasties". We have some helpful meds for these painful ailments, but no "fixes" that I know of. Always more to learn!
Sometimes if we miss a session or two there are mysteries in the responses and we all need solutions on this site, rite?
I would love to read any and all "fixes" for nerve pain, knowing we have all levels of pain and do not all respond to the same "help-aid" or so called remedy! Always looking! Thanks!

I agree re cannabis use. I lived in MN where its legel, moved to WI and my new Dr will not allow my use. For over 15yr I have been taking 30mg Adderal. Once a day. Dr does a drug test every 3 months required by the state. She will not allow cannabis to show or she will no longer see me. Yet no advise for paine relief. Physical therepy was recommended

Perhaps its time for a new Dr, that is if they all aren't mandated by the same State rules.

My husband has had neuropathy for over 6 years. When he is in pain l massage his legs with Amlactin. Then give him 2 Tylenol. He goes right to sleep. He is very active for a 91 year old. He swims and has PT. All these things help him deal with his pain. Amlactin is over the counter and can be found at Costco. There a stronger prescription form that you can get from your doctor.

I'm wondering about the Amlactin as well. I started using it just to soften my callouses but noticed an increase in pain. Is there anyone else who has had a positive or negative experience with the 15% Amlactin?
