Hi Seasons, sorry you are in so much discomfort. My SBC is different. Radiotherapy to my spine damaged my spinal cord and I don’t have any feeling from waist down except neuropathic pain. I am on pregabalin and also take medical cannabis. These keep most of the neuropathy symptoms at bay. Your oncologist has to agree to cannabis, which has to be prescribed through a private clinic.
If your feet get very cold, I use Vicks vaporub over them.
I do regular exercise, walking and gentle training sessions. I think it’s important to keep moving.
Take care xx

So sorry to hear that Karenb66 and thanks for getting back to me. Pleased you found some relief from using Cannabis and Pregabalin. Don’t feel I’m bad enough for Cannabis yet but pleased that you got in touch as I know there’s help if things get worse in the future. I do exercise and walk fairly regularly as like you I feel it’s good to keep moving and I will try Vick’s vapour rub. Thank you. Xx
