Endometrial SEROUS carcinoma

Has anyone on here found a cream or gel or anything besides a prescription pill for neuropathy of the feet/toes? I was prescribed Gabapentin but I hate taking pills for it. Thanks in advance. I hope this post finds everyone doing well.

If you live in a medical cannabis state, there a number of creams and balms that help. Mary's Medicinals also has THC/CBD patches that were very effective for me. None of the creams or patches will make you high. I took them before bed, and they really helped take the edge off the pain. Long-term acupuncture resolved all the pain, so I no longer need anything, but the THC/CBD balms and creams were so helpful when I did.

Good luck.

I tried different medications and CBD and none of it worked. I found a good acupuncturist and after 9 sessions it was resolved. This was 4 years ago.

You're very welcome. It was acupuncture that took care of the pain, over time. I went twice a week for about 18 months during and after the first time I was in chemo, and have continued that schedule over the past four or five years to minimize and then get rid of neuropathy pain from additional chemo.

When choosing medical cannabis, it's important to get the right combination of THC and CBD. CBD alone was completely worthless for me.
