PN in toes

Question

I'm still having some pain in my toes due to PN.&nbsp; The podiatrist has recommended I put Vicks vapour rub on the sore toes and then put a sock on.&nbsp; I've done this a couple of times and it seems to work for a little while.&nbsp; &nbsp;Even if it's in my mind I feel it helps.&nbsp; I do it in the morning and before bed and sometimes during the day.

It sounds soothing&nbsp;From Dr Google&nbsp;Vicks Vapor Rub® – Massaging one's feet with&nbsp;Vicks, particularly at night, soothes neuropathic pain and distress in one's feet and legs. It is also excellent for softening your toe nails and diminishing common toe nail problems.

I had full body manual lymph drainage massage earlier this year (I think January) to prevent lymphodema after I hurt my anx clearance arm. It didn't do much for my arm but I was also having severe pn pain in my toes and that is totally gone.

@Michelle_R the podiatrist said the heat in the vicks could send messages to the nerves.&nbsp; I'm happy to try whatever I can.
