My neuropathy is in my hands, feet and some in my calves. I have taken Accupuncture treatments to reduce the pain tingling and somewhat the numbness from a 7/10 pain to 1-3/10 levels. If I need something for pain I use Rapid Relief , Extra Strength Tylenol .

Hello Janet. Mine is in my feet. Sometimes by binging, tingling, and burning. I take gabapentin and it does help and minimize the discomfort.

Janet,
I have neuropathy in my feet, calves, hands and arms. My oncologist suggested massage with ginger oil which is available on Amazon. I ordered it but it hasn’t arrived yet. I post my results! Sarah🥳

Hello Christian I don't know what medication you are taking,but I suffered really badly from neuropathy in my hands and fingers and was prescribed Gabapentin and it worked overnight.Have been taking it for about a year without side effects and assume I shall have to continue taking it as my MM treatment is a monthly Daratumumab injection which is know to cause neuropathy.

Thank you Chuck. Word pass and me paper 1 for your answers. The reason I asked the question is because I read an article which I thought was saying there was more than one neuropathy which can affect different parts of the body. Article for Miriam as well.
I’m thinking I’ll try and get my hands on the article and if comments are helpful I will let each of you know. Thanks again for answering.
