I have had PN Since chemo 3 1/2 years ago.

I have managed to keep it from spreading further up the front of my feet and legs by stretching my hamstrings several times a day. I also massage my feet morning and before bed using a homeopathic gel called Phyto Gel. I know many people do not believe in homeopathy, but I have found this product to work. This allows me to sleep without waking up from PN discomfort. I’m sure other lotions work as I believe the massage and stretching are the most important activities necessary to contain the PN. All doctors I have spoken to say there is no treatment so we are on our own and must try to find something to help.
I have purchased a frame which keeps the weight of the blankets off my feet and found this very helpful.
