Nitrous oxide booster , seems to increase pain

Posted by thomaswclarke @thomaswclarke, 4 days ago

I cycle daily in attempt to supply increased blood flow for foot and ankle neuropathy. I have started to take a daily nitrous oxide booster to also increase blood flow to legs and feet. I am not positive, but it seems that my pins and needles pain is worse cycling with this booster .Is it possible that too much blood flow into the damaged area is creating more pain?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Welcome @thomaswclarke, I don't have any experience taking a nitrous oxide supplement or booster but it would for me if the pain got worse cycling with the booster, I would stop taking it. There may be other things in play. Have you discussed it with your doctor? Do you take any other medications that could be interacting with the nitrous oxide booster?

I've taken nitrous oxide boosters myself and have had some lower leg pain which I suspect is due to medication for high blood pressure or either atorvastatin for cholesterol. I've noticed no problems but a cure us too what the ingredients were in the boosters you used. Thank you and I wish you the best with your issues.
