I was wondering if anyone has tried anything other than medication for neuropathy successfully? I hate how neurontin makes me feel. My neuropathy started about month after finishing xelox. My hands have gotten better although I did have raynauds before the cancer. My feet don't have a lot of pain just numbness and tingling. I have to wear shoes on based surfaces as it's uncomfortable. It's more an a annoyance than anything, does t really prevent me from doing anything.
I have seen advertisements for Drs that treat neuropathy without medication. They seem to be mostly chiropractors. I was wondering if anyone has gone to one of these doctors. I spoke with a physical therapist who was working on my knee and he said they have used dry needling. Sounded like acupuncture. He said I would need an rx. I asked my gp and he never heard of it and said he wouldn't give me an script. My rheumatologist told me there really wasn't any physical therapy for neuropathy at our last appointment. I plan to talk to him when I see him in October. I use topricin cream and a foot massager that stimulates the feet.
Any suggestions?
