How do you use the Vicks
Hi, @tkhuntington - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I'm wondering if you have a peripheral neuropathy diagnosis, and if so, what symptoms you are experiencing? Are you asking about use of a chest rub ointment?

1 ReactionWhat is a theragun?
Theragun is a brand of a handheld percussion massage device. You might want to try typing it in the search box at the top of the page and search for others who have used the device.
Thanks!

I was on gabapentin for 10 months. I started out with a very low dose, but during that 10 months had to increase to 1600 mg a day. It never really took the neuropathy away, but made it manageable. Then I had ankle surgery and non weight bearing for 6 weeks. I was able to stop the gabapentin because nuerothopy was getting better. That was 3 years ago. My PN is due to back issues. I started weight training that is helping my back. Some day PN is worse than others. My feet always feel cold.
