Palliative care is wonderful They come as little or as often as you need and have been wonderful help. They help with things you need done so it doesn’t fall too much on one person. They are not nosy or tell you what to do. They listen to your needs and follow your lead

I have a pain management doctor. He is a palliative care doctor. He is helping me a lot. I have 8 damaged vertebrates. Several have been reduces in size by over 50%. This is causing severe pain in my lower back. The doctor prescribes pain meds that I take twice a day. I see the doctor every 3 months to review how well the pain meds are helping me. I would suggest you look into having a pain management doctor.

My neuropathy can get real bad some nights. I use capsaicin crème. It is available as over the counter crème. Capsaicin crème is made with the ingredient that makes hot peppers hot. Acupuncture is very helpful tell your provider what is going on as in tired, neuropathy pain, need to relax etc. it does help.

Hi Lin3. I have neuropathy pretty bad in both my hands and feet, and I use accupuncture to help alleviate the pain. It doesn't get rid of it, but it does help.
