I find this helps in reducing the feeling of PN. It contains Frankincense and Myrrh. It appears to be cheaper than this https://www.cvs.com/shop/frankincense-myrrh-neuropathy-foot-pain-relief-rubbing-oil-2-fl-oz-prodid-2390128 which is available at CVS for $22.50 and probably other pharmacy's. I purchase the Wisemen Healing Balm from Amazon for $14.25 and can recommend it.

I used the product for a couple of days, before noticing improvement. To be clear, I still have a little soreness in my ankles and calves, but much improved. I still have minor or minimal amount swelling or edema in both ankles.

I use it too. Do you apply it once or twice each day?

Thanks for this great list, John, I’ve been working on several of them, and it’s an awesome checklist of things to try.

Any reason why cannabis isn’t included? Apart from it being illegal on a federal basis, I mean… some states have legalized it, and it’s certainly something that I get great relief with.

Unfortunately I tried that and got no relief

There’s more junk out there that claims to cure PN. I think that half of it is made in the seller’s garage. They are just money grabbing people who promise to cure all when the medical professionals can’t get it done. PN is here to stay.

I 've had neuropathy in my feet since i had chemo for breast cancer. My oncologist at the time told me to take magnesium L-threonate. I bought some on Amazon. I had stopped taking it because it gave me diarrhea. I figured I'd try again. I have had some diarrhea, but I figured I'd just treat the diarrhea and use the magnesium. A few days ago, I noticed I had feeling in my afflicted left hand again. Last night I got out of the shower , walked to my room and felt something was odd. I realized I was feeling the cushiness and texture of the carpet under my feet! My big hope is maybe I will improve enough to drive again. I'll be 81 in October.
I also have been using the new VoxxLife patches for my balance and they definitely help.
Plus, I started taking liquid quinine and my leg cramps completely stopped. Before they affected me sitting, bending and trying to sleep. I'm a a retired RN and I love researching ways to "fix" myself.

How many milligrams magnesium L-threonate are you taking because mine is only 200 mg but I was reading on other comments here 400 mg might be a better solution but it all depends on the side effects like diarrhea right?

Thank you in advance, I'm desperate
