Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy: What helps get rid of it?

Warning: Magnalife products are "homeopathic" meaning that the amount of active ingredients in them is so incredibly tiny that the products are worthless. Homeopathy is psuedoscience, invented in the early 1800s. It has been totally discredited. Any benefit felt is imaginary.

Try acupuncture administered by a well-trained practitioner. It improves energy and circulation, so it will likely make you feel better in any event...Nothing lost, possibly something gained in terms of reducing neuropathy. Another good thing to take is homemade bone broth - for energy -- also and making you feel stronger pre- and post- chemo treatments. Activities that require movement of fingers and toes, knitting, for example, or one of the other contributor's suggestions of walking in a thermal or hot-water pool -- are great.

I have not heard of any good creams, lotions or tonics that might work. Activity and movement seem to work best, from what I have heard.

My suggestion is to do everything you can to learn about nerve health and healing. You may benefit from seeing a dietitian/nutritionist who knows about neuropathy and nutrition to heal nerves and reduce inflammation.

You can also try Acetyl l carnitine and alpha Lipoic acid supplements plus magnesium to help calm nerves. It works for me (I have small fiber neuropathy and spinal stenosis/spinal cord injury causing full body nerve sensations that disrupt sleep).

You can use neuropathy creams and lidocaine patches to help with localized nerve pain (like in feet, legs, back, etc.). Here are some of the things I have bought on Amazon that helped me. I hope you find relief soon.
Have you been to a pain management center to help you manage pain? Have you ever been prescribed Cymbalta or Lyrics for nerve pain?

@suzzi, I'm glad that you found something that works for you and helps you sleep better.

There are many many products and therapies that claim to help or even cure neuropathy. Unfortunately, people have spent a lot of money on false claims, hoping for relief. It is wrong that such companies profit from hope and hype.

Luckily members and mentors on Connect help dig through the research and the medical evidence. @crossette's warning is such a post, meant to alert "Buyer beware" about Magnilife homeopathic products. The message is not directed as a criticism of what works for you.

What might work for one person may not for another.

To all:
Here's is more information about homeopathy.
- What do we know about the effectiveness of homeopathy? https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/homeopathy
- "There’s little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific health condition.
- What do we know about the safety of homeopathic products?
Some products labeled as homeopathic may contain substantial amounts of active ingredients and could cause side effects and drug interactions."

I didn’t expect to find such hostility on this website. I merely stated what has helped me to sleep better and I stand by that.

my name is Laura Henderson and I have peripheral neuropathy. I believe mine stems from chemotherapy and radiation for cancer. My left side (my hands while driving and the outer side of my left leg) was numb. I went to a neurologist for testing and sure enough my nerves were damaged. I took gabapentin for 2 years and it was no help at all. That was in 2013. In 2017 I learned I had a left bundle branch block and had to have a pacemaker/deliberator. In 2019 I lost the use of my left kidney. Now my feet are numb and it moves to different areas in my legs. Can't sleep at night for the pain and tingling. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do for help?

Hi,
I have polyneuropathy with numbness and tingling on my feet and legs. I use Magnalife Relaxing leg cream on my legs at night and the Magnalife Pain Relieving Foot Cream on the bottoms of my feet at night. It helps me sleep. I purchase them from IHerb - they are very inexpensive and the shipping is fast. Hope this helps!
