For
the burning sensations you may
wish to try products or treatments
that other patients have found
helpful.
Some patients have found that the cream called Sarna Original available over the counter at any major drug store has helped. It was recommended by Dr. Ramkissoon MD Neurologist in Sebring, FL. This is an anti-itch cream that works by numbing the nerves at the surface of the skin that are sending neuropathic signals of burning.
NeuragenPN is a cream which has helped many patients and is available in both Walgreens and CVS in a new 4oz tube, with a mild refreshing aroma for about $29.99. Or you can order it by calling 888-234-7256 or at www.neuragen.com. A double blind randomized placebo controlled study from Louisiana State University assessing the topical oil NeuragenPN in the treatment of neuropathic pain, resulted in significantly greater pain reduction. 93% of treated patients compared to controls experienced pain relief within 30 minutes using NeuragenPN. (Source: Pacific Chapter of The Neuropathy Associations Newsletter, Neuropathy Hope October 2011) Mims Cushing’s book lists other creams patients have tried (see title under resource tab) and she has a separate chapter addressing the issues of the feet with loads of ideas from patients.
It may be advisable to speak with your doctor before trying these creams.
Another option other patients have found helpful for the burning sensation is to soak your feet in cold tap water for 15 minutes before going to bed. The cooler water helps by calming the nerves. DO NOT USE FREEZING ICE WATER as with sensory neuropathy this could cause damage to the skin. For those with the sensation of very COLD feet, these patients have found that doing the same with warm tap water (NOT HOT) has a soothing effect. Again, it is what works for you in treating the strange effects of neuropathic pain.
Some patients have used prescription Lidocane patches and these have helped. The problem is that some patients develop a rash from them and must discontinue use.
