Try home remedies for neuropathy



March 28, 2008



Q: I have received information from a friend that you have a theory that spraying nitroglycerin on the hands and feet of a neuropathy patient may be of some

help. I'd like to know where I can get this spray.



My husband has peripheral neuropathy. He is not diabetic, and the pain is mild. He needs a cane to keep his balance when walking and is losing function in his

hands. In November 2006, he was in the hospital for treatment with massive IV steroids and IV immunoglobulin. Each treatment lasted four hours. Unfortunately,

they made him very sick, and he was forced to stop.



We are willing to try anything to improve the function of his hands. Where can I get nitroglycerin spray for him?



A: Nitroglycerin is a prescription medication. Most pharmacies carry it, but without physician approval, you can't buy it. Speak with your husband's neurologist

about this option.



He may also wish to try prescription Neurontin, which has been proven useful in lessening the pain of neuropathy.



A final option is Vicks VapoRub or similar store brands. Many of my readers have had amazing success by simply rubbing the product on the affected areas two to

three times a day. It is inexpensive, safe, easy and, best of all, doesn't require a prescription. I recommend your husband give this a try first and move on to

the other options should it not work.
