Neuropathy

Posted by maxiesmom @maxiesmom, 6 days ago

This is just a little discovery I made, maybe it will be helpful to somebody. I'm 83, in constant severe back pain, have had 4 surgeries and need 2 more but can't have them because of deteriorated bones. Neuropathy in my feet is just another painful nuisance. So I noticed my ankles swelling even though I pretty much sit in a recliner with my legs elevated all day. I put on my support stockings (with open toes) and noticed after several hours that my feet barely hurt! It's been 2 days and still very minimal burning and tingling. I hope this works for others!

I have this problem too and I have found that Hempvana with Lidocaine works well for me. I have been able to sleep through the night when I use it. And the pain is gone for several hours. Hope this helps someone.

I am literally in the same position you are in. Between four back surgeries and 2 foot surgeries. No one can explain why I have peripheral neuropathy. I do know that lipoic acid is one of those things that they say really helps neuropathy. I also know that they say you should load up on your B vitamins. The only other thing I can suggest is exercise as much as we don’t feel like it when we’re in pain or not feeling well. Exercise is so important. I literally have to force myself to do 30 minutes of cardio every other day. I hope this helps. I know what you’re going through. I wish you the best.
