Does Mama Bear work

Welcome @godfirst, I have not heard of Mama Bear Nerve lotion but a quick search found it which doesn't surprise. Appears to be just another proprietary nerve pain lotion that is big on advertising with no science behind it. There are a lot of different treatments incuding complementary and alternative treatments around the have helped some folks. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.

You might also find it helpful to scan through the list of discussions and comments from members on what helps neuropathy symptoms - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

If you feel comfortable, can you share a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?

Funny you should ask. I actually am using it for a few weeks now. I actually believe it is helping me. The hyp is its Magnesium ingredient. I also like Frankincense & Myhr oil. Both seem to sooth tingling sensation a little. Maybe just a placebo effect but if it works for you no harm.

At night, I am currently using a neuro cream compound on the soles of my feet which was prescribed by my family doctor. It is better than most OTC creams, but must be applied several times during the night. The other drawback is the cost which depending upon where you buy it, can cost upward as much as several hundred dollars for a 2-month supply. It is covered or partially covered by some insurances.

Recently, I discovered this new cream called Qutenza which is usually covered by insurance. You must be evaluated first to see if you qualify. If you do, a specialized nurse must apply it. They are patches which are applied to the infected area and left on for 40 minutes. After they take the patches off, you can experience bad burning pain after about an hour. Be ready with a pan of whole milk to soak your feet in. It relieves the pain after about 10 minutes. The treatment is suppose to relieve your neuropathy pain for up to 3 months. I have found some good success with this. When I do get pain, massaging my soles seems to take it away rather quickly. I go back at the end of December for my 2nd treatment and will definitely have that pan of cold whole milk ready.

I have been using Mama Bear By Oasis on my feet for several months and I must say it’s the only thing I’ve used that actually works. I was skeptical at first but it’s the only thing that stopped my neuropathy in my feet. It do smell like roses but as the weeks go by I use it less and less. I highly recommend it.

I have no ulterior motives in suggesting this product. I have type 2 diabetes but my severe neuropathy was caused as a side effect of several spinal back surgeries. I couldn’t sleep at night without sleeping pills. This is the only product that worked for me. If you’re suffering like I did, I employee you to try this. It really works.

I search on Amazon for Mama Bear Oasis Lotion - Neuropathy Nerve Therapy and many of the reviews were 4.5 and 5 stars. I probably should have done a search of this site to see if there's already been comments made about it. I leave this anyway for anyone to comment on. Thanks, Gail

I should have asked if anyone uses or used it and what their opinion is on it? I just came back from doing a search on the Connection and I did find a few posts. There were a couple of positive comments about the Moma Bear Lotion. Thanks

@gailannr I tried the Mama Bear Neuropathy cream. It did nothing to help the burning, tingling, or pain in my feet. I requested a refund, but had to settle for a 50% refund rather than going through the process of putting the empty jar into packing, paying postage, and sending it back. I assume it must help some out there. Just not me.

I tired also and found Nervive roll on it cream to work better

Hello @gailannr,

I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled:

Here, members discuss mama bear. As @johnbishop points out, Mama Bear appears to be another brand over-promising its results for a condition that is unfortunately prone to many false promises and is difficult to treat.
