Anyone found relief for PN with Vicks Vapor Rub? If so, how much?

Posted by grammypj @grammypj, Nov 14, 2025

I think I have found some relief. I mix it with Magnesium Lotion to spread it on my feet. I've tried all sorts of things. I get the most relief by getting off of my feet after I've been on them for maybe 30 minutes. I go 'street walking' with a 'roll-alator so I can sit down along the way and drink water during the break.

I will not use Rx drugs.

@grammypj, I don't have pain with my neuropathy, just the numbness but I have used Vicks VapoRub sometimes and it seemed to have a calming effect on my feet.
