Hi, I have peripheral neuropathy (pn!) but it’s not related to breast cancer, I’ve actually got rid of most of it. I developed sharp stabbing and shooting pains, particularly at night. My feet are numb, think they’ll stay like that but I flex them to try to improve it.
Amitriptyline and then duloxetine didn’t work so after nearly a year I tried acupuncture. This is known to work and it did, took a few weeks as it’s not overnight but the effect was cumulative. It also helps me with general wellbeing and relaxation.
I massage my feet before bed and in the morning unless I’m in a rush, sweet almond oil (a carrier oil) with a few drops of frankincense essential oil, it really helps I find.
My joint pains in toes are related to the Letrozole I think, I’m on a 6 break to see what happens.
Please keep in touch if you’d like to! x
