I want to follow the responses that are posted here. My sister developed terrible neuropathy in both feet when she was on drugs for a clinical trial. This week she is giving up her car because she can no longer feel the accelerator /brake pedal. She saw a neurologist last week who spoke to her about massage. Any other ideas out there???

Often there are two separate issues. One is swelling, Which can be addressed by taking 95% curcuminoids with black pepper extract supplements.
The second is to stimulate and increase blood flow to keep tissues and nerves functional. Vibration therapy has been shown to be effective.

I have neuropathy in my feet and had to give up driving after chemo for breast cancer. It's really scary not being able to feel the brake. It seems to be a fact of life now and I take gabapentin which helps the numbness. I use a Voxxlife Liberty patch that has helped me with my balance.
