It's 6 am, I've been awake for hours with neuropathy in my hands and feet.just did the hand exercises and it helped a bit. Going to keep doing them. Thank you!!
Going to try this and hope for some relief. I never would have thought my hands could be asleep but hurt and feel like they were burning all at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Staria I feel you, I’m experiencing the same thing you just described my pain is so bad I can’t slept at night it’s painful during the day but at night it comes on w/all cylinders blasting I be in tears 😢 and never get a good nights sleep I’ll try this.
greetings, can you clarify alil bit for me? what do you mean by "hands asleep"? did it happen upon waking up in d morning? because my hands have been numbs and pain state before just recently i often woke up with my hands immobilized all i can feel was just heat and pain.. i dont even know how am i supposed to tell my parent about this problem..
Hi Dr Jo. I really appreciate the way you speak in your videos. There are others that teach stretching for peripheral neuropathy and I find that you do the best job of it. Thank you so much for posting. Lots of love to you.
Thanks!! You have no idea how much pain that felt unbearable both day and night which gave me insomnia and a crappy attitude to others. My only relief is prescribed OxyCodone from my doctor but I don’t want my life taking opioids for the rest of my life. God bless you immensely and again thank you 🙏
I felt the most comfortable being with you and listening to the way you teach me to do these things… Thank you I hope I get some relief as well. This tingling and pain is making me so depressed
These exercises, along with the accompanying video for feet have been hugely beneficial in helping me co[e with my chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. It took some time to really feel the benefits but stick with it. Recommended your videos to my oncologist. Cheers.
Thanks SO MUCH!! Lots of hand pain this evening but this is really helping a lot (diagnosed with MS about two years ago). Found this video by searching for ‘nerve pain in hands’ while waiting on my pm meds to start working. Very grateful! :)
Steven Sproles I'm suffering from nerve pain in my hand as well. I've been taking Gabapentin, but it doesn't help much. I too was diagnosed with MS, back in 2012.
This is a great video! I am going through chemotherapy at the moment and I have noticed my hands and fingers have started to be affected by it. Just by doing these exercises while watching this, I can feel the difference from the movement. I will certainly be doing this every day during treatment, and post-treatment!
Been doing these exercises for a few days now 2x a day, in the morning and before going to bed. The tingling doesn't go away completely but i no longer feel the sharp pain and is able to sleep well at night which is important to me. Thanks for the help.
Thanks Dr for your healthy, simple and informative exercises for hand muscles stiffness, I have severe pain in my hands, wrist foot, ,knee and shoulders of both sides,your exercise is helping me a lot, Allah pak bless you in your all efforts for providing help the sick people , Jazakallah, Samina Rafique.from Quetta, Pakistan
@David Lang sir I'm in the same boat..just went into remission in late may.. my question to you is did the neuropathy get better?? Or is it the same as before?? That darn chemo did a number on me...😂
@@94villianvp96 I had chemo early 2019, my hands and feet are still numb, not as bad as at first. But I believe it can last 2 to 5 years. It is better than the alternative though :) Hope you're feeling better.
@@94villianvp96 Thank-you, I greatly appreciate it. Every day I remind myself that "ROCK BOTTOM CAN ALSO BE A SOLID FOUNDATION TO REBUILD UPON". I also believe that the decisions we make control us much more than the conditions we meet.
Thank you v much Dr Jo. I’m being treated with chemo and peripheral neuropathy is one of the effects. Your feet and hand exercises are very helpful. God Bless🙏🏼👏❤️
Thanks so much for the exercises. I’m having various serious issues due to cervical radiculopathy as well as Brachial plexopathy. I have virtually lost the use of my right hand (dominant) and the basic exercise you show are helping me get some stretches that I need without having to purchase tools. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you so much Doc. This video will helps me a lot because for almost a year I was suffering pain from my hands down to my feet cause by nerves malfuction . And this pain really distract my studies and work. I hope it will helps me to get better. Thanks again doc. Thanks to this online flatform and to this video. It may difficult for me to get medical check up for some financial problem but with this it really helpful for me. It gives me life and to be positive always. 💙💙
Thanks doc. It's helping. I've been doing some of the exercises but now I've started learning the mechanics. You know how horrible it feels for a guitarist. Thanks once again.
I did the hand exercise and my joints went "pop, snap" without the crackle. My little finger pops at the second joint from the top but not painful. I guess that means I have arthritis in my fingers. I will continue to do the exercises and hopefully that will help also with the arthritis.
I reloaded how bad it is to hen these stretches are painful. But I appreciate the help. I’m only 32. But after having 3 kids my elbows to my fingers keep having pains and numbness
Thanks for reposting this so that it came up in my feed. 🙏🏽 I tried it just now and it felt pretty good. 😁 We'll see if it helps with night time tingle fingers. Do you have anything similar for feet or hip joints? 💜
Thank you - will these exercises help if my neuropathy is now pretty constant - I have been doing similar exercises for a while now and nothing seems to improve - is there a point where exercise isn't the solution? or just keep moving - thank you! You are doing a great service to help us with self care.
You're welcome. It really depends on what is causing it in the first place. So unfortunately I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate you, but movement definitely helps.
Thank you for your prompt response - I guess the fact I am a crochet maniac doesn’t help - I am wearing my splint which helps a little and taking more breaks - but I have so much yarn to use up - I need to crochet. Oh my!! I am going to look into massage therapy next - and will continue the exercises you show - thank you again
YO Dr. Jo! Love the interaction and the humor. I am a 72-year old male, post ischemic stroke from 2014. I just found your site. That being said, I may be repeating a question from before. My situation, since all strokes are unique to match our humanness, I played folk and classical guitar. Now, when I play, my hand begins to complain (pain level = 7) within a few minutes (5-8), depending on playing variables, like capo, string thickness, barre chords and fancy foot (oops) finger work. My ask, any suggestions, references, referrals in Denver or expert advice is greatly appreciated. Ron B
Thanks! I do have a few videos for artists and one specifically for guitarists. They might help as warm ups before you play. You can find them on my channel: th-cam.com/users/askdoctorjo As for referrals in Denver, unfortunately, I don't know any PTs/OTs there.
I finished radiation treatments about four months ago. My peripheral neuropathy has gotten much worse in the last week or two, traveling from my hands up to my forearms. I'm a professional musician, and it's difficult to play. Do you have any routines for piano or keyboard players? It is such a big part in my mental health regimen in my cancer recovery, I don't want to lose it.
Thank you. I also learned a lot from the presentation by a neurologist at UT Austin TX. Thank you -- fingers crossed (now uncrossed, and crossed and now uncrossed . . .)
Dr can u please tell me how to relieve nerve pulling in hands , feet & head due to overthinking & depression ???? and sweating in feet sole and palms. please reply 🙏🏻
My fingers are 90% recovered from numbness due to pinched nerve in forearm that healed naturally. Odd thing is the fingers and palm feel normal when cold but kinda prickly/sensitive when warm. Can they get better in time or is this the new normal? Im still amazed the exercises worked though.
My Finger Nerves are cutted... Nerves connected with sutures... Can I get back my Full Range of motion from doing Physiotherapy... How long does it takes?
I have neuropathy symptoms in my hands and feet. I have tingling and numbness in them, but no pain.......as yet!! i am going to see a neurophysiologist in 2 weeks for the first time, to determine the cause. Id there any chance of healing the damaged nerves, or is it permanent? I keep hearing and reading conflicting stories with regard to the prognosis.
A month after my chemo my Peripheral nephropathy became very painful Was prescribed Gabapentin (Two weeks in and not much relief from the med) and was given a referral to therapy.. first appointment in two weeks. DO you think these exercises are safe till my 1st therapy session ? and thank you for these videos! Your like a port in a storm! Side note: Having a pug I love the shirt you wore in this video!
Thanks! If your doctor has cleared you to do stretches and exercises, they should be okay to do. Hopefully they will give you some relief until you can get into therapy.
