Supplements - What helps nerve pain and/or neuropathy?

Hi @robtlhughes , there are a few other things people have used topically for their PN which have been mentioned by people here on Connect. A couple that my wife Linda has tried, in addition to the 2 Old Goats, which, as I said, did not do much for her, were Wisemen's Healing Balm, which Linda only used briefly for some reason. I believe @lorirenee1 has liked that product and other's on Connect swear by it as well. You can search Connect to find references to it. Another thing that was mentioned just in the last day in the "burning hand" discussion is Uber Numb which has lidocaine in it. Linda has not tried that yet. The only thing she has tried and has gotten relief from is Penetrex roll on (there is also a cream but the roll on is way less messy to use), which has a lot of ingredients, including a homeopathic based ingredient. One other thing I remember being mentioned by somebody (I am wracking my brain at this point) is Topricin. Know nothing about it except someone said they have used it. Everything I have mentioned can be found on Amazon. Thought maybe this info might be useful. Best, Hank

FYI, here is a Walmart add for Penetrex that indicates that it helps with Neuropathy. I have not tried it as Im testing another recommended product for now, with limited success.
I have been seeking pain relief from IPN for over 10 years and recently purchased a product called Frankincense Intensive foot Therapy lotion. It has a rather spicy odor that you get used to and it seems to calm the burning for a few hours, however, I wake up with the burning sensation every night about 3:00 am, in both feet. I also have recently been experiencing sciatica pain in left leg. I tried the same lotion but does not help sciatica.
One thing that has helped both PN and Sciatica is Prosage Nano percussion massager. http://www.EVERTONEPROSAGE.COM. I use the round foam head and run it up and down feet top and bottom and around sides. I think it confuses the nerve function and relieves the pain as well as helps muscles relax so that tight/restrictive feeling goes away. Relief lasts for an hour or so, if Im awake on a recliner, watching TV. Its great in the morning when my feet are on fire and very stiff. The massager is wireless and very portable so you can take it with you in car or have it near by around the house. USB charge overnight or an hour or two.
For sciatica pain, I press it hard against leg and it rattles the heck out of your whole body. You have to be careful around neck and would never use on head. Otherwise its a great pain tool.
Hope this is helpful info. Rick B.
