Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment - Finding Relief from Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy treatment is challenging. One may have foot tingling and numbness or possibly fingers and hand tingling from chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) or other medical reasons. In this video, I share ways to find relief from neuropathy pain with sensory treatment at home, balance training, and peripheral neuropathy exercises.

I’ve suffered with neuropathy over 13 years since my breast diagnosis. Chemo has really turned my body into a disaster. I wish there was more research and answers.

Castor Oil on its own helps on the feet and cayenne pepper added to the oil brings nice warmth. It really relieves pain. Just take a cloth the size of your sole, drizzle castor oil on it, add 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper and put on bottom of foot and slip a sock over top and sleep with that. It also makes your skin look great. If you get oil on your sheets, Dawn dish soap gets it out.

Thank you so much Kel. I've just completed my chemo for lymphoma. I get alot of numbness and pins and needles.
I find it to be annoying. I start radiotherapy in September also. I will try all that you shown in your video and hopefully that will help. Chemo is very challenging, but I am getting there slowly.
Thank you for your wonderful video.

My oncologist recommended I take vit B6 & B12 and it has helped my neuropathy a lot.

Wow thank you for validating what I’m feeling since I’ve had chemo in the spring I noticed that my hands my fingers my feet my arms where I had the injections for the chemo I always burning I’m always cold I’m so tired and it seems worse when I lay down my feet just cramp up and are painful my hands and arms just ache and so cold but now I know that walking and balancing myself and putting my hands to the rice and the beans and the coins 10 minutes a day will help I’m already seeing a nerve doctor and I’m on medication and I’m still experiencing symptomsAnd I’m told that the symptoms may be permanent or they might lessen the time I think you for your channel and your explanation of what’s going on with my health I am blessed to be alive since three different stage of cancer was found

Folks reading this: you might want to look into R-Alpha Lopoic Acid (needs to be R ALA, not S ALA). My doc also has me on fish oil, vitamin D, CoQ10, and magnesium. Hope this helps — they seem to be helping me with my neuropathy. I didn’t get it from chemotherapy though — none of my doctors can figure out why I have it. I developed it after getting an MRI with contrast and being on methotrexate for three weeks.

So far I’m about 75% healed after having peripheral neuropathy from the neck down to my feet. Wishing you all the best.

Really helpful thank you. I am on Exemestene after AC/Taxol chemo and I definitely found wearing socks to bed helps even thru the hot flushes.

I find working doing kitchen chores like peeling or cutting food helps. In summer I pick fruits and vegetables. You have to be able to sensé ripe versus green by touch since you can’t always see. I find I have general nerve damage in many areas smell, taste, balance, appetite and others.

[consuelonavarrohidalgo]

I would never have thought of the beans and rice. I will do it to test it. Thank you very much!!!

[amdusiasfairchild]

I was on vincristine for two rounds and they pulled it because the progression had already moved from my get and hand and goes up to my knees and sometimes even elbows, I was on carboplatin and vincristine together doctor said if we don’t pull it now I’ll likely have nerve damage the rest of my life, 27yr old pttp rare brain cancer, that spread to my spine

[samdeakin]

Thanks so much for creating these - looking forward to sharing with my clients!

[peggyeisenberg]

I have found B vitamins to be helpful in decreasing neuropathy in my feet, face and arm. I take nutritional yeast which is a non-synthetic, whole food source of all of the B vitamines and extra B1 (thiamine).

[ranielson]

🌟Thank you ✨Kelly✨ for sharing all of these wonderful suggestions! Very much appreciated!🌟

[muslimamakers]

What a great video! I'm only at the beginning of my chemo (6 of 18 done) but I already have this in my fingers. Can I already start with some of these exercises? Or should I wait until chemo is done?

[BubbleBurster-nvvl]

I am assuming you should do this AFTER you have chemical induced neuropathy.
What about PREVENTING it? Such as icing your hands and feet? People use a cold cap to save their hair. It basically freezes the hair follicle not allowing he chemical to destroy it.
What would you recommend for icing to STOP neuropathy to your hands and feet?

[kmastanz]

CIPN can happen in your head too and years later

[angelikablossfeld]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I have chemo induced neuropathy in my feet. I have a Power Plate vibration machine. Is it save to use if you still have active tumors ? I am still doing chemo every week. I ask my oncologist but he is not familiar with vibration machines.

[loramora]

Hi how about resistance exercises can I continue with it ?

[corsetedostomate]

I have all those symptoms. Stage 3 colorectal and they used oxaliplatin. It got so bad that they canceled the oxaliplatin for me second round.
