If you suffer from peripheral neuropathy, you should be aware of the pain it can cause. Sometimes, even with the best care of your feet, you may experience unbearable pain. Try the following tips for pain relief.

Steps

1. 1 See a neurologist. These are doctors who specialize in neurological pain, they are the ones who know what medications you need to treat.
2. 2 Check your feet daily for blisters, cuts, or calluses. Tight shoes and socks can lead to pain and tingling sensations and can lead to non-healing wounds.
   • Wear shoes with good instep support and insole, and loose cotton socks. Change shoes that can cause blistering.
     • Try using semi-circular shoe covers to help protect your feet and sensitive areas from poor quality upper material. These pads are sold in many medical stores.
   • Rub in capsacin ointment three times a day. It may take you a month to treat before a long-term positive result appears.
   • Rub in 024 Essential Oil twice a day to relieve pain. Its strong scent helps relieve pain.
3. 3 Exercise. Ask your doctor about the exercise that is right for you. Regular exercise can reduce neuropathy pain and help control blood sugar levels.
   • Practice deep breathing several times a day.
   • Try a few simple yoga poses to distract from pain.
4. 4 Stop smoking. Smoking can affect blood circulation.
   • Insufficient blood circulation increases the risk of leg disease and can lead to leg amputation.
5. 5 Seek medical attention to help soothe nerve pain and pain.
6. 6 Eat right. Eat more low-calorie and dairy foods. Include more complex carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and cereals in your diet.
   • Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption.
   • Make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals.
7. 7 Massage your feet and hands on your own, or ask someone to help you. Massage stimulates blood circulation, nerves and may temporarily relieve pain.
8. 8 Avoid compressing the nerve for a long time. This can lead to "new nerve damage":
   • Do not sit cross-legged for a long time.
   • Don't lean on your elbows for long periods.
