Neuropathy
This is just a little discovery I made, maybe it will be helpful to somebody. I'm 83, in constant severe back pain, have had 4 surgeries and need 2 more but can't have them because of deteriorated bones. Neuropathy in my feet is just another painful nuisance. So I noticed my ankles swelling even though I pretty much sit in a recliner with my legs elevated all day. I put on my support stockings (with open toes) and noticed after several hours that my feet barely hurt! It's been 2 days and still very minimal burning and tingling. I hope this works for others!

I have this problem too and I have found that Hempvana with Lidocaine works well for me. I have been able to sleep through the night when I use it. And the pain is gone for several hours. Hope this helps someone.

4 ReactionsI am literally in the same position you are in. Between four back surgeries and 2 foot surgeries. No one can explain why I have peripheral neuropathy. I do know that lipoic acid is one of those things that they say really helps neuropathy. I also know that they say you should load up on your B vitamins. The only other thing I can suggest is exercise as much as we don’t feel like it when we’re in pain or not feeling well. Exercise is so important. I literally have to force myself to do 30 minutes of cardio every other day. I hope this helps. I know what you’re going through. I wish you the best.

I have to say it’s so funny Because I literally do the same thing you were doing. I exercise for cardio due to a heart attack a year ago every other day, trying to eat right keep up on my vitamin B’s . I try to eat right and cook most meals. I am taking a superfood from dr. Schulze’s which covers all my b’s and helps with fatigue, I wish I could offer more but that’s all I have at the moment. Have an awesome day or night depending on your situation.
@cmedina1 HI like you I at 89 have Neuroparthy in the feet and hands. I found on the feet walking bare foot on a Hard wood floor helps and vicks vapor rub on the feet and ankles works good. As for the swelliing in the legs and ankle It is I have found is by sitting. I started walk and working working around my yard and now feel great. Exercise is the best cure for many things. I use raw apple cider vinegar,But if you ues blood thiner's talk to your Doctor first as it Apple Cider Vinigar is also a Bolld thiner that we have used to desolve a blood clot behind the eye the Doctors couldn't operate on and it worked. in six months. Now for the swelling action I like walking no swelling legs.

2 Reactions@cmedina1 May I sugest Garden Fresh Veg from organic Garden I found works great for me. When my wife had stage three lymphona and was told it is incure able . I started thinking this wasn't a problem in the thirties 1930,-1950 so what was the diferance from today. We. decided it was the food we eat. Back then we grew our own food. So we quiet eating all meats, sugars, baked goods and went to garden fresh veg very bland diet, only and in three mo later when she went back to the cardiologist the cancer was gone. Now that was our experance and if you wish more info as to why please feel free to contact me. I'm not a doctor or even in the medical field but a farmer.

1 ReactionI forgot to keep the swelling down walking works for me along with the use of Raw Apple cider but if taking blood thiners talk to your first. If taken reg it also helps cur type 2 dibetes I have been on the border line since 1978 for diabetes
@quietriver
Sounds good. I don’t have needles. Mostly heat and feet feeling “asleep” somewhat. Talk to you later. W 😀
Hi William: just checking to see how you are doing? I'm doing pretty good my self. Mixed up some sexual oils and tried them seem to work pretty good.
