Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

My PT suggested clenching my fists for five seconds then letting go, easy to do when you’re watching TV or whatever. It supposedly brings blood to your hands. Also try just rubbing your hands together, like wringing them, or waving them around. Hope this helps.

Hi @stefspad, thanks for sharing! Any movement will aid with the circulation. Unfortunately, I have more trouble with that when sleeping. I often wake up from cold limbs( hands and feet) having “pins and needles” feeling. Movement does help me. Wish you well! Toni
