What is your favorite neuropathy lotion for painful feet?
Hi,
I'm on my second round of taxol and carboplatin. This second round has made my toes more numbing and painful, hard-to-walk feet in the morning.
I use Epsom-it, an Epsom concentrate for nerve pain, Epsom salt soaks.
Ice therapy socks during chemo., which I still can't figure out how long to keep them on my feet during my 5 hr infusion.
My left knee is painful. I use a bag of frozen peas and Salonpas with lidocaine., the roll-on bottle.
What helps your neuropathy pain?
Thank you and take care.
