天天吃瓜

If you鈥檙e a homebody, you may relish the days you can stay home, watching episodes of 鈥淪candal,鈥� with a good cup of coffee in hand. However, staying home is not so fun when you don鈥檛 have a choice. If you have neuropathy, it鈥檚 hard to do any kind of activity without pain. However, you can be homebound and still do something about the problem. Stay positive and treat neuropathy at home with these tips!

Exercise is a great way to keep your blood flowing, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to your damaged nerves. This can slow the progression of your neuropathy and also prevent it from occurring. If exercise is too painful for you, you might want to try yoga or Tai Chi. These exercises can take pressure off of your feet. If you鈥檙e really feeling ambitious, try attending a fitness or dance class in Sacramento!

Another tip鈥攄aily foot checks are essential in preventing problems with neuropathy. This way if you notice any cuts, scrapes, or blisters, you can treat them right away and prevent slow-healing wounds. Sores and ulcers should be addressed immediately. Practice good foot care by cleaning your feet daily too.

Massaging your neuropathic pain can also give you some relief. For a few minutes, you or someone else can softly run fingertips and hands downward from the top of your legs to the bottom of the feet. Knead the toes for around three minutes a foot, then work your way to the ball of the foot, arch, heel, and ankle.

Make sure you have good, padded shoes and socks, too. Tight socks and footwear can add to the tingling symptoms you鈥檙e having. If you need help with shoes, Dr. Gavin Ripp can help fit you with a pair that may reduce your painful symptoms
