Diabetes run in my family, I had my doctor check several times. No diabetes but I have strong symptoms. I’ve been having this tingly, weird feeling. I’ve googled and this came up. I’ve tried this exercise and it’s amaaaazing. I tried having my husband massage but only made it worse. Thank you for this video.
I was diagnosed with PN 3 months ago and I’m nearly going out of my mind with the burning, numbness and tingling sensation. The pain is relentless and debilitating. I’m going to try your routine, please pray for me.
@@kylorenthehusky2584 my pain is relentless 24/7. After a Ct scan, looks like I need a disc replacement among other things causing a pinched nerve. I’m pretty scared to be honest.
In 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. For the past four years life has been very challenging, being only 22, not settled in a place for more than 5 months at a time, living with abusive family and not being able to afford medical for my condition. I have been living insulin free for over a year, but complications kicked in, i struggle to walk, i fall when i try, i cannot jump or lift heavy things or i fall. My legs are dying fast. I tried these exercises this morning and gave it about two hours and tried again, the results are very very amazing. It did not fix the problem but it gave me the ability to stretch and walk around for a bit without falling. I feel the more i do this, the better it is going to get! Thank you for teaching me something that 8 Specialists ive been seeing these last 4 years wasnt able to teach me. Its awfully sad how the medical business now days is more about the money than it is about the Patient.
You're welcome. I'm glad they are helping. Sorry you haven't gotten much help from your doctors. Also, if you happen to have access to a pool, often water walking is very helpful as well. Good luck.
I started doing these activities only five days ago, and I am amazed by the huge positive effect that it has caused on my feet. More than 80% of the tingling and burning sensations that I used to feel, has gone. Thank you Dr Jo.
I have started on these exercises a thank God feeling much better. I am also with burning, pins and needles suffering so much, thank God for TH-cam doctors and their advice.🙏❤️
Just reading all these comments shows how much people are suffering. Wow, I’m praying for you all. I get sharp pins and needles pain and numbness on left thigh when I get up each day but it goes away for the most part when I stay active throughout the day. I will even do like 50 continuous squats throughout the day to pump thigh muscles and it works.
This genuinely worked !! I’ve had tingling and extreme pain for two days. It started escalating from my feet to my whole legs and after doing those stretches the tingling feeling has gone !! Highly recommend!!!
OMG - I used to be super athletic , playing soccer, basketball, biking, softball but PN has stopped from enjoying that and these exercises are exactly what I need to start doing to get back a sense of balance. Thank you so much.
Mam,what is the answer to huge numbnes and burning in hahds.I cant drive,can not close my buttons,no walk due to legs nearopathy upto knees.please suggest exercises for hands also.Medicines may also be recommended.Thanks.
Thank you so much Dr.Jo. I was having pin and needle pain on my left side(arms, legs and till my toe) I started this exercise following your videos and instructions, now I feel relief from my pain. No words to express my words of thanks to you. God bless you.
It somewhat comforts me to know I am not alone with my chronic pain . I was diagnosed with M.S 30 years ago , and 5 years ago with neuropathy and trigeminal neuralgia . I should be in a wheel chair by now , but what helped me to stay on my feel and still be able to walk ( not very good but walking) is doing inner work and healing traumas and learning to connect with myself . I still have a lot of pain , and even though it’s also physical , there is always an emotional and mental connection to every physical condition . So my work is not done , but I have seen improvement throughout the years as a result of my spiritual and inner work . I know it works because I also work with others for 30 years . So I hope someone will take something from what I wrote and it helps that person ❤️
Thank so much for letting me know that spiritual healing does work. I tried it for a while for lupus neuropathy but then stopped, but know I will start once again. Thank you for encouraging 💫⚡️✨🌙🌈
Hello Ofra Peters your message gave me hope, i started to feel pins and needles and numbness like 2 months, im searching what to do to help ease this sensations. I read your message what could not understood everything can you message me to explain it with more details. Thank you
Not only was the nerve pain painful, but probably worse was the stress it caused me. I of course googled every linked disease, EVEN THOUGH I suspected the issue was stemming from my back and down my legs. Stretching made ALL the difference in the world! Thanks for the video, that redirected me, into the direction I knew. Feels great to not have the pain! If I sense it coming on I just take time to stretch. Usually it first hurts in my left foot, so I stretch the right side of my back and hip! 😁
My feet legs have been burning and painful especially at night but during this heat wave during the day. I tried some of your exercises in the middle of the night and got such relief that I was able to fall asleep again without pain. Many thanks.
I have,charcot marie tooth disease and pre diabetic,my feet are alway"s numb.These exercises are a big help!I now have more feeling and sensation in my feet than I"ve had in years,THANK YOU!I see a podiatrist once a week and a neurologist every 3 months.Nothing like this was ever suggested to me,it was basically-live with it.,your beyond physical therapy helping you.The lesson for me is don"t ever give up! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I'm suffering from peripheral neuropathy as a result of overdosed chemotherapy, it's so serve that it got me scared. But I pray God move through these exercises to bring relief. Thank you
Yes Excersize helps. The more I walk my Service K 9 during the day the less pain I have especially at night. That is when the pains in my feet are the worse. Keep moving step by step. I have to keep something that is comfortable on my feet at all times other wise the pain increases. Wear something on feet even when in bed; keeps pains undercontrol. I don't take pain meds and won't do pain meds.
My PN has come on very rapidly. I’ve been sort of being treated for it. By that, I mean I’ve seen my doctor several times over the past 9 months and finally got a referral to a specialist as we can’t seem to work out what is causing it to continue to get worse. These stretches have given me the best relief I’ve had in all that time. So simple and easy, but the returns are a godsend. Thank you for this. There are so many of us living with this and we all know how life altering it is both mentally and physically. It certainly didn’t help my mental state as I was staying pretty tightly isolated during this pandemic. That’s an awful lot of time to be alone with nothing, but a wall of constant pain. I had my wonderful family with me on our bubble and they’ve been very patient and understanding, but you still feel very alone in that pain. I wish everyone who finds this the very best of luck. Hopefully, a cure can be found and we won’t just be in mitigation mode. Again, thank you very much for these stretches.
My case is absolutely excruciating. Exercises like this, and I’ve done them before, seem to help the body as a whole, but in the affected areas, it causes a great deal of lingering pain. I go to physical therapy for the expressed purpose of avoiding foot amputation. I’m not diabetic, I’m idiopathic. My veins are starting to pop out and give me another excruciating symptom. Watching for circulation problems and discoloration on and by the veins. The pain progresses over the years. I’ve had it for 12. I wish everyone the best. Keep exercising but listen to your body and don’t overdo it, that has consequences. And always keep in mind that exercising in the pool works, especially for severe cases like mine. Keep up the good work, doc. The neuropathy community needs help! Bruce
Type 1 diabetic for 3 years and The hip abductor muscle stretch immediately relieved the numbness and tingling. If your diabetic and struggle from lower body tingling and numbness give this a try!
Wow! More exercises that directly affect me and my health issues. It's amazing that since I subscribed, I have received more helpful information from you than I ever did from my MD. He simply diagnosed my neuropathy and sent me on my way. All he ever wanted to do was give me prescriptions, never any therapy which is why I stopped going to see him 4 years ago. Thank you for improving my life.
Tom thumb...very wise (unless you get serious issues with your pain)..I`m now on Zomorph (Morphine capsules) ,but I still need extra relief.Once you start on the road of the really strong meds ,you only tend to need to increase them ,as your body gets accustomed to them.Love these videos ,because even though my pain can be severe ,exercises really help with numbness ,or when you seize up.Glad you`re feeling better!!
Yep Tom, I find Drs really don't know all that much. You have to advocate for yourself and demand referrals to physical therapy and neurology. Drs are so specialized these days it takes months and sometimes years to get a true diagnosis of one's condition. I also use the internet and youtube to do my own research. I had a great endocronigist who would google things during my visit with him when I asked specific questions. LOL Too bad he has left my clinic he really was a good doctor.
TheHappyheart77 I'm OFF morphine. I "thought" it was helping. But my PCP explained the nerve receptors become dull due to the narcotics. I had thought "bull", but decided to go off the morphine. Note: she was not in favor of my doing so, but I no longer wanted to feel and be limited by them. I cut back safely, but off them. She's impressed lol so am i!!! It's been close to 18 months. If you research it and have support,,,,for me I DO feel much better.
I suffer from PN and these exercises & stretches are exactly what ive learned to do naturally for some relief. The movement really helps get the blood moving. I also exercise in the pool & do light therapy which really helps. I love your videos they help me find new ways to treat my pain.
Rebecca Morris Was wondering if u r doing t Dinshah light therapy ? Spectro- Chrome Therapy in Mal aga So.Jersey.I hd good results 4 a # of conds but not neuropathy... what kind of light therapy do u use / recommend 4 neuropathy ??? Thank u , Bless u & urs, Thomas
I have been suffering with Neuropathy since AUG 2020 after a really bad covid fight that almost killed me and got me diagnosed with diabetes. I have been trying all kinds of things and honestly, while I get some minor temporary relief, I can clearly tell I am not actively combating the pain, just making it hurt less for a few hours. I have struggled to find any clear and honest assistance, either paid for while in Dr offices or searching online on my own. Just lots of gimmicks for sale or snake oil procedures. This morning I am trying your stretch routine. I am going to stick with it religiously for the next 2 weeks and come back here with my results. If nothing else, thank you creating honest helpful content in a sea of get rich schemes for this condition. It's such a frustrating thing to live with and demoralizing when searching for results and all you see are get rich predators. So, thank you for this. See you in 2 weeks.
Thank you! I had an insane amount of nerve pain today after having a fever. Nothing was calming my nerves not even peppermint oil. This finally relaxed me enough to finally be able to sleep. I have Sjogrens and really itchy skin too and constant muscle spasms. I'm looking forward to trying this while also working w my doctor. God bless you
This stretches are very helpful thank you for sharing this❤️I have pheriperal neuropathy for 5months now, i cant walk due to pain and balance problems, laying in bed makes the pain even worse, pain relievers also wont work on my painful feet. For four months i struggled so much i cant even sleep for straight onr hour. Now i tried acupuncture 4 sessions now and some exercises and stretches,i did gain my balance 85percent,less pain on my foot and legs, i can walk on a threadmill 3km/h for 30minutes now in a very less sometimes no pain at my feet at all
i didn’t think anything would work and stop me from having these pains but after watching this and doing the stretches once i felt my feet comming back to how they usto be thank you
I've been doing these exercises for only a few days but already feel a great improvement. No more pain, and more feeling in my feet and lower legs. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! I love you!! Have had trouble with dull numb pain in my feet and ankles for months. After just two days of your techniques, I already have a big noticeable improvement!
Thank you! I suffer daily from neuropathy due to uncontrolled diabetics since 13 I am now 32 and known I’ve had neuropathy since I was 20. These excercises have helped thank you.
Hello Dr. Jo, 1st I appreciate that you dress modestly and in proper apparel for the exercises you are demonstrating, it certainly makes a statement of who and what you are and are about. 2nd your manner of presentation is perfect, your volume, pace and clarity are right on. 3rd I used your exercises for costo condritis that I thought i may have been experiencing, and it WORKED! even though I didn't do all and long enough,. THANKS AND KEEP UP YOUR GREAT HELP AIDS FOR ALL. Robert
When I first wake up and head to the bathrooms I lose my balance and get terrible pain in my calves making me fall and I can get to my feet a few minutes later by pulling myself up. I’ve had at least 3 physical therapy sessions of at least 6 months and have all of the exercise equipment with me. I’ve had numerous partial toe amputations and right now I’m recovering from yet another one. These exercises work people
What a great video. I have suffered from peripheral neuropathy for approx. 5 yrs. Trust me folks It only gets worse. I think if I had started these types of stretches back then it would not be as severe today. Thanks Doc Jo!
This is great .I'd almost lost all feeling in my right foot .I've started doing these exercises and they're working well. Tried all sorts of meds with no joy .This is working for me thank you Doc !
I've had severe case twenty years now and your right. Legs first and arms started about 8 years ago. It's the worst pain and living conditions that's not terminal. I've been on fentyanl patches over ten years for the pain. It is a horrible drug but the only chance of any normalcy in life now. Good luck.
Your exercises help with the numbness, balancing, and got my hip and lower abs smaller. I make a habit of doing the exercises even if I was sitting watch TV, just rotate my angles and move them up and down. My foot neuropathy was resulted from my drinking. I stop for 3 months now, well cut down 95%. I'm able to run and slowly regain the feeling/control in my foot. 9/14/22.
Thanks Dr my child is on chemo treatment and have problem in his feet and hands.I apply your exercises on him and he got a lot relief.Thanks again for such a useful videos . Regards from Pakistan
Thank you so much for sharing these tools freely. I have been suffering for years with neuropathy and I just believed that I was doomed to suffer for life. Since I have started these practices I am now starting to feel relief and it has just been a few days. Thank you, you are a true god send.
I already do some of these moves, just naturally, to try and lesson the pain in my feet. Your video is excellent and I really like your socks. Thank you for this useful information, Dr. Jo.
thankyou so much,idk why this made me cry because I was feeling this for 3 days straight but after I worked out i was completely fine,and I had a knee injury 6 years ago and thts also why. I'm glad this video came up on my feed,so basically i need to continue to work out as usual.
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🙏🏼👏❤️
Thank you so much for showing these exercises for neuropathy. I have on my hands and feet. I was doing them with you and felt relief right away. Thank you again
I had a seizure and it shocked my brain and did nerve damage. I can no longer feel much emotions nor am I empathetic towards people like I use to. I use to be the best dancer until this...I pray for immense healing from this numbness. I can barely feel or taste. I feel the circulation flowing after doing these stretches. I didn’t know what to do. Thank you so much !
@@AskDoctorJo I also feel this sensation now a days .. earlier it was only in the legs ..but last few days I feel nubbing and tickle in hands also .. please make a video also about hands nubbing nd how to control that
I like to support any video channel that helps people without charging them money. As a former Touch for Health practitioner, I thank you Dr. Jo for your most precise and thorough presentation!
I've had some pain and nerve issues especially in my left foot from my Parkinson's, and your exercises might be just what the Dr ordered for nerves and also mobility, thank you- thank you Dr. Jo! 💛
I am type 2 diabetic, and just about 3 months ago I started to get really bad foot pain. Burning, sharp needle like pain, and numbness. During the day i hardly notice it. At times it does hurt, but I really feel it during the night. I get about 3 hours of sleep, and nap during the day if possible. The pain keeps me up, and doesn’t let me sleep. I’ll definitely give these exercises a go before bed. I did notice since no movement during sleep the pain builds up so it wakes me. I never really took care of myself being a diabetic nor took any medication, but that’s all changed now I’m back on my meds! But bad eating habits are hard to kick. Definitely making better life choices!!! Alcohol was one of the hardest bad habit to kick I am now 3 weeks sober it’s not easiest, but I’m doing it, and I’m proud of myself for that.
I have neuropathy in my right foot up to my knee and less severely in my left foot. I just started working again recently because I was out of work due to a seizure. I've found my neuropathy getting progressively worse as it was severe pain and electric shocking feeling 24/7 before taking muscle relaxers. I found your video a while back didn't do it. then today I had the pain of desperation to do it and WOW it was so worth it. All of my lower body feels so much better. My goal is 2-3 times a day. Thank You sooo much!
Dear person reading this YOU are such a blessing to beyond a gazillion times and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that and beyond that!😃
Thank you so so so much. I started having arm and leg pain with tingling in both my hands and feet starting last week, with my doctors thinking my heartburn medication may have helped lead to vitamin deficiencies and potentially causing my nerve damage, anemia, or peripheral neuropathy (whatever this might be). Have yet to be diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, but all signs point to it; just waiting now to get some blood work done for vitamin deficiency and hopefully get an EMG done with a neurologist. I’ve spent the last few nights struggling to get relief in order to fall asleep, but your exercise videos for both hands and feet have helped me already on my first time doing them. You definitely gained a new subscriber and fan, thank you once again 🙏🏻😀
Thank you for such a straightforward explanation of these exercises. Will be incorporating them into my daily movement. Might you possibly create a similar video for neuropathy in the hands and arms?
I am 7 months into GBS. I am having troubles with nerve damage in my feet. I am so glad I found your video. This is exactly what I need. keep up the good work.
Thank you so much 💕 I had so much pain I couldn't even walk up the stair. Thank God I ran into your video. I'm feeling so much better.I'm 57 years old and I adopted my grandchildren I was crying last night I guess I was feeling sorry for myself. I just feel so blessed to have ran into your video. I can't thank you enough 💕
Thank you, Jo! I've been suffering from this kind of medical concern. I am an active person. I do some exercises and if I have time, I go on an outdoor adventure. However, my feet have started to get worst and now, I am looking for some sort of exercises I can do at home. TH-cam recommended this one! Thanks a lot!
thanks...got condition from chemotherapy treatments--in hands and feet. I believe drinking a lot of water is one helpful reminder! But it never goes away! Some days I forget about it only to be reminded when I loose balance! But I keep going no matter what!
Doctors seem helpless about neuropathy. Thanks for opening the subject. It may be numb or screaming as mine is today. Of cause that drug that helped stop the pain is now and-no. Please don't give up showing options on your videos or minimize the pain.
This helped, just in the first few minutes. Not completely gone, but certainly less. It may come back again tomorrow, but now I know something to try. Thanks!
This helped with the neuropathy in my feet! Ten minutes afterwards I felt relief. I’ll continue with these stretches. I’m scared to be put on a pain med! Thanks so much!❤
This is really excellent and doable exercise sets.. I did half of them and feel much better and more limber already...thank you for these sensible and natural movements.
I had spinal fusion a few months back, went to physical therapy, but I wasn't given exercises for peripheral neuropathy, he's actually a good pt, so I'm not mad about the mistake. Anyway, surgeon said the numbness, tingling and pain is normal, but strangely had started to worsen a few weeks ago. I've done several of your exercises in the past so found this video, it's gotten so much better. Not nearly as painful, not much numbness and only slight tingling. I'm hoping this isn't permanent, hoping all the walking is good enough for growing scar tissue, I have a feeling the scar tissue is there, but surgeon is still hopeful the nerve pain will go. If it ended up being permanent, these exercises are enough to help manage the pain, I'm not scared anymore. Thank you so much for making this video. 💗
Thank you for sharing with all of us so generously. I am happy and glad for others to find these exercises to deal with pain in my feet and legs. This is so helpful.
I used to have this right after my brain surgery my right side of my arm used to go numb or my hands and I had slurred speech it went away in a one month period. Thank goodness It doesn’t happen anymore
Thank you so so much for this video! I have been having tingling in my feet constantly for 3-4 months now. My neurologist couldn‘t find anything that causes it that‘s why I tried these exercises and I have to say - just a few days of doing them I already feel so much less tingling. I think I‘ll do them twice a day now!
Hi Dr jo I was injured in my work I just check about your exercise bcause I get these burning sensation in both feet so I will b trying out these exercises
Thank you so much. I have numbness and tenderness in my feet and hands. I've been doing ankle spins and balance excercises like yours. Thanks for the other excercises. I used to be able to paddle board surf and play guitar. Now both of those activities are my motivational goals.
I am only a 31 year old male, only weigh 150 pounds, and am having a number of issues, which seems to have come out of nowhere, hitting me like a lightning bolt. About a year, and a half ago, I started to experience pain in BOTH of my knees, when standing. It got worse as time went on, and now it's at a point, where I can barely stand, because the pain is so unbearable, and I have to sit after just a few minutes of standing. Both of my knees crack, and pop CONSTANTLY. Seems like it's every time I stand from sitting, and when I walk. I saw an orthopedist about a week ago, they took X-rays, and he said the X-rays look fine. In 2014, I went into that same orthopedic clinic, where there's more than one specialist, and saw a different doctor, for back pain I was having. I had an MRI done of my back. When I went in for my knees a week ago, the doctor brought up my back, and the MRI I had done in 2014, and he said I had some sort of vertebrae fracture, and it caused a disc to bulge, and he seems to think that disc could still be bulging, and could be compressing a nerve, causing my knees to hurt. I don't think that's what's causing it. Why would I feel like I constantly need to pop my knee? Why would they feel almost locked up all the time? My right foot is tingling bad. It's bugging the heck out of me. I've been on Gabapentin since 2013. It's not doing anything to help the tingling either. I'm just ready to give up. I'm miserable, and on top of all this physical pain, Im suffering from anxiety, and panic attacks.
It's possible it's coming from your back. When nerves are compressed, they cause muscles to tighten/spasm/not work properly (at any point down the legs), which could cause the locked up feeling or need to pop the knees. Have you tried going to see a physical therapist yet? That would really be the best option.
Good video. I am 77 years old and have severe idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. The numbness, tingling and pain go all the way from my feet to the middle of my thighs. Most of my problems come at night when I'm trying to sleep. I'm a candidate for drop foot but haven't noticed that at this point. I will certainly try these exercises. Thanks!!!
Peripheral neuropathy is so painful. Sometimes my feet feel like I stuck them on a live wire. then other times, like now my feet feel like they're in a bucket of frozen ice. Anyone else feel that way too? Edit- my feet are beyond falling asleep.. it's very painful.. more like a burning painful numbness and very sensitive.. and at times a painful freezing cold but not to the touch.
Jeannie, we have same pains. My toed hurt so bad also bottom of my feet. My hands the fatty part at base of thumbs. I have yrs ago had c tunnel surgery on both. My legs feel like being struke by lightning now its goes down side of right leg. You are only one describe the ice bucket i tell drs that. I can only wear certain shoes.i put them on my palm if i feel any weight i cant wear them. I can wear clark sandles my shoes cost over 100 dollars but i cant help that. Too bad we arent neighbors i have had this since 1988 and ive had many eeg test they dont even hurt anymore. Take care.I have no balance. You will find a walker easier than a cane. I use when at mall, home shows and such
Jeannie Billiejean omg....I thought I was the only one.....My feet feel like I’m standing on two blocks of ice...at night, it is worse...the excruciating pain from my feet being so cold keeps me up all night long to the wee hours of the morning, until I finally fall asleep at 3 or 4 in the morning......then I have burning sensation on both of my feet, that feels like my feet are on fire.....it’s awful......my endocrinologist referred me to a neurologist for nerve pain....I hope this doctor can help me....
@@oj907 well that's good that your doctors understand.. I believe mine do too, but to a degree.. because I think others that experience the pain and have to live with it everyday definitely understand because they feel it too.
Thank you 🙏 these very simple exercises are very beneficial for those suffering from Blood circulation issues. Thank you, keep up the good work 👍 God Bless You 🙏
also take vitamins b6, b12, d3, magnesium, vitamin e, calcium, iron. also make sure it's not athletes foot and get antibiotics. from my own experience.
Thank you Dr Jo. I do wish people would talk about how PN makes it hard to walk. I used to dance the night away and walk for miles and now I give up on getting out of bed because of PN or possible Drop Foot. I am only 65 years old. I have been doing the foot exercises while lying in bed and can tell circulation is improving. I am also glad you added the leg & standing exercise and I hope to add those as well. I just ordered a yoga mat so I can make a special place to do stretches. I have been using a cane over the last 3 years and just got a walker/rollator/wheelchair. Mostly got the walker to encourage myself to walk outside the house. My house is small and now so much smaller as I have limited my movements to bed. Really don't need walker in the house. I have an appt to see physical therapist, but just getting to the therapy site is going to monumental. Just saw a neurologist and will be having tests done at the hospital in December. Just getting help is overwhelming for me and the process is so slow as appointments are scheduled for a couple months out. So thank you Dr Jo for your youtube channel...hopefully I will be able to walk to the PT room at the clinic with help of the walker but if not I will get wheelchaired in. I won't see PT for a week (day after thanksgiving) but hopefully I will have added your standing exercises by then.
You're welcome. PN is such a debilitating thing. I can't imagine having to walk all the time on feet that feel like pins and needles and numbness constantly. I am glad to hear some of the exercises seem to be helping. Hopefully once you get to go to PT, you will be moving a little better, and hopefully they will be able to help you even further. Good luck, and let me know how your PT session goes.
thank god i found you i learned so many from what i experience i cat stand with my feet n leg so hard i always think to give up but fights cry for what happen to me i’m 62 thank you you can help for what your doing i’m a poor nothing i can do but pray thanks for your help ser
Wow! Thank You Dr. Joe! Tonight my feet were on Fire! Toes burning... Very, very painful.... Two Vicodin, and still agony! Tried rubbing my feet, still very painful! Its the first time the tips of my toes felt this bad too! Argggg! Found your page and did your recommended exersises. Dont know if its the combo of stretches, exersises, and Vico, but the flames have temporarily simmered down, at least back in to the pain scale of 1 - 10! My GP, sad to say, hasn't given one bit of advice on this matter! He's so consumed with being the next local Dr. Oz, that all he's concerned with is me joining his "New Elite Practice!" Yes, for a fee! Should a person see their doctor and come out more disappointed and disgusted than when they walked in! So thank you for being a real person who cares about others enough to freely share here knowledge! All the best... -Mike
Thanks Dr JO. THATS PRECISELY MY EXERCISE plus diet(mostly vegies, fruits fish eggs butter beef once in a while NO PORK. Change lifestyle, back to basics.
Mike, I don't understand how people can take Vicodin as it makes me sick, the same with any Codeine medications. I do take Cymbalta twice a day & that does help with neuropathy.

Excellent Doctor, thanks.
Diabetes run in my family, I had my doctor check several times. No diabetes but I have strong symptoms. I’ve been having this tingly, weird feeling. I’ve googled and this came up. I’ve tried this exercise and it’s amaaaazing. I tried having my husband massage but only made it worse. Thank you for this video.
I was diagnosed with PN 3 months ago and I’m nearly going out of my mind with the burning, numbness and tingling sensation. The pain is relentless and debilitating. I’m going to try your routine, please pray for me.
How’s your pain these days? Did you do these stretches?
@@kylorenthehusky2584 my pain is relentless 24/7. After a Ct scan, looks like I need a disc replacement among other things causing a pinched nerve. I’m pretty scared to be honest.

@@kylorenthehusky2584 thank you so much. I’m sorry for replying so late.
In 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. For the past four years life has been very challenging, being only 22, not settled in a place for more than 5 months at a time, living with abusive family and not being able to afford medical for my condition. I have been living insulin free for over a year, but complications kicked in, i struggle to walk, i fall when i try, i cannot jump or lift heavy things or i fall. My legs are dying fast. I tried these exercises this morning and gave it about two hours and tried again, the results are very very amazing. It did not fix the problem but it gave me the ability to stretch and walk around for a bit without falling. I feel the more i do this, the better it is going to get! Thank you for teaching me something that 8 Specialists ive been seeing these last 4 years wasnt able to teach me. Its awfully sad how the medical business now days is more about the money than it is about the Patient.
You're welcome. I'm glad they are helping. Sorry you haven't gotten much help from your doctors. Also, if you happen to have access to a pool, often water walking is very helpful as well. Good luck.

Andrea how are you feeling now?
@@traciefishburn I'm also wondering.. Hope she is okay..
Andrea, I hope u are doing well🙏🙏
I started doing these activities only five days ago, and I am amazed by the huge positive effect that it has caused on my feet. More than 80% of the tingling and burning sensations that I used to feel, has gone.
Thank you Dr Jo.
You're welcome. Glad they are helping.
I have started on these exercises a thank God feeling much better. I am also with burning, pins and needles suffering so much, thank God for TH-cam doctors and their advice.🙏❤️
Just reading all these comments shows how much people are suffering. Wow, I’m praying for you all. I get sharp pins and needles pain and numbness on left thigh when I get up each day but it goes away for the most part when I stay active throughout the day. I will even do like 50 continuous squats throughout the day to pump thigh muscles and it works.
Thank you for the kind sentiments, Mike...Hope you are feeling well.

It somewhat comforts me to know I am not alone with my chronic pain . I was diagnosed with M.S 30 years ago , and 5 years ago with neuropathy and trigeminal neuralgia . I should be in a wheel chair by now , but what helped me to stay on my feel and still be able to walk ( not very good but walking) is doing inner work and healing traumas and learning to connect with myself . I still have a lot of pain , and even though it’s also physical , there is always an emotional and mental connection to every physical condition . So my work is not done , but I have seen improvement throughout the years as a result of my spiritual and inner work . I know it works because I also work with others for 30 years . So I hope someone will take something from what I wrote and it helps that person ❤️
Hi Ofra, that's really beautiful and encouraging to hear. I'd love to help be a support for you, and vice versa, if you're interested!
Thank so much for letting me know that spiritual healing does work. I tried it for a while for lupus neuropathy but then stopped, but know I will start once again. Thank you for encouraging 💫⚡️✨🌙🌈
Sylvia take care , wishing you much improvement .. be well !
Hello Ofra Peters your message gave me hope, i started to feel pins and needles and numbness like 2 months, im searching what to do to help ease this sensations. I read your message what could not understood everything can you message me to explain it with more details. Thank you
Good for you 👏👏👏👏
This exercise already took my pain away. I hope it keeps working
My legs are numb and tired, every move feels wrong but after following this video the discomfort has gone, thank you dr joe!
You're welcome!
Not only was the nerve pain painful, but probably worse was the stress it caused me. I of course googled every linked disease, EVEN THOUGH I suspected the issue was stemming from my back and down my legs.
Stretching made ALL the difference in the world! Thanks for the video, that redirected me, into the direction I knew. Feels great to not have the pain! If I sense it coming on I just take time to stretch. Usually it first hurts in my left foot, so I stretch the right side of my back and hip! 😁
You're welcome.

My feet legs have been burning and painful especially at night but during this heat wave during the day. I tried some of your exercises in the middle of the night and got such relief that I was able to fall asleep again without pain. Many thanks.
You’re welcome.
Same. Pleasantly surprised.
I have,charcot marie tooth disease and pre diabetic,my feet are alway"s numb.These exercises are a big help!I now have more feeling and sensation in my feet than I"ve had in years,THANK YOU!I see a podiatrist once a week and a neurologist every 3 months.Nothing like this was ever suggested to me,it was basically-live with it.,your beyond physical therapy helping you.The lesson for me is don"t ever give up! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You're welcome! I'm glad they are helping!
i had genetic test showed CMT. neurologist dismissed it. lost
I just watch the video because I have numbs legs whole day. Thank you so much it helps me a lot. While having my work, I do the stretching of my leg.
You're welcome.
I'm suffering from peripheral neuropathy as a result of overdosed chemotherapy, it's so serve that it got me scared. But I pray God move through these exercises to bring relief. Thank you
You're welcome.
Yes Excersize helps. The more I walk my Service K 9 during the day the less pain I have especially at night. That is when the pains in my feet are the worse. Keep moving step by step. I have to keep something that is comfortable on my feet at all times other wise the pain increases. Wear something on feet even when in bed; keeps pains undercontrol. I don't take pain meds and won't do pain meds.
My PN has come on very rapidly. I’ve been sort of being treated for it. By that, I mean I’ve seen my doctor several times over the past 9 months and finally got a referral to a specialist as we can’t seem to work out what is causing it to continue to get worse. These stretches have given me the best relief I’ve had in all that time. So simple and easy, but the returns are a godsend. Thank you for this. There are so many of us living with this and we all know how life altering it is both mentally and physically. It certainly didn’t help my mental state as I was staying pretty tightly isolated during this pandemic. That’s an awful lot of time to be alone with nothing, but a wall of constant pain. I had my wonderful family with me on our bubble and they’ve been very patient and understanding, but you still feel very alone in that pain. I wish everyone who finds this the very best of luck. Hopefully, a cure can be found and we won’t just be in mitigation mode. Again, thank you very much for these stretches.
You're welcome.
My case is absolutely excruciating. Exercises like this, and I’ve done them before, seem to help the body as a whole, but in the affected areas, it causes a great deal of lingering pain. I go to physical therapy for the expressed purpose of avoiding foot amputation. I’m not diabetic, I’m idiopathic. My veins are starting to pop out and give me another excruciating symptom. Watching for circulation problems and discoloration on and by the veins. The pain progresses over the years. I’ve had it for 12. I wish everyone the best. Keep exercising but listen to your body and don’t overdo it, that has consequences. And always keep in mind that exercising in the pool works, especially for severe cases like mine. Keep up the good work, doc. The neuropathy community needs help! Bruce
Thanks. Aquatic therapy is definitely a great option to get movement and improve circulation without too much impact that will increase the pain.
Type 1 diabetic for 3 years and The hip abductor muscle stretch immediately relieved the numbness and tingling. If your diabetic and struggle from lower body tingling and numbness give this a try!
Wow! More exercises that directly affect me and my health issues.
It's amazing that since I subscribed, I have received more helpful information from you than I ever did from my MD. He simply diagnosed my neuropathy and sent me on my way. All he ever wanted to do was give me prescriptions, never any therapy which is why I stopped going to see him 4 years ago.
Thank you for improving my life.
You're welcome!! Good luck.
AskDoctorJo
The luck is when I found your videos. My health improving is not luck, it's practicing your stretches!
Tom thumb...very wise (unless you get serious issues with your pain)..I`m now on Zomorph (Morphine capsules) ,but I still need extra relief.Once you start on the road of the really strong meds ,you only tend to need to increase them ,as your body gets accustomed to them.Love these videos ,because even though my pain can be severe ,exercises really help with numbness ,or when you seize up.Glad you`re feeling better!!
Yep Tom, I find Drs really don't know all that much. You have to advocate for yourself and demand referrals to physical therapy and neurology. Drs are so specialized these days it takes months and sometimes years to get a true diagnosis of one's condition. I also use the internet and youtube to do my own research. I had a great endocronigist who would google things during my visit with him when I asked specific questions. LOL Too bad he has left my clinic he really was a good doctor.
TheHappyheart77 I'm OFF morphine. I "thought" it was helping. But my PCP explained the nerve receptors become dull due to the narcotics. I had thought "bull", but decided to go off the morphine. Note: she was not in favor of my doing so, but I no longer wanted to feel and be limited by them. I cut back safely, but off them. She's impressed lol so am i!!! It's been close to 18 months. If you research it and have support,,,,for me I DO feel much better.
I suffer from PN and these exercises & stretches are exactly what ive learned to do naturally for some relief. The movement really helps get the blood moving. I also exercise in the pool & do light therapy which really helps. I love your videos they help me find new ways to treat my pain.
Thanks! Good luck.

I have been suffering with Neuropathy since AUG 2020 after a really bad covid fight that almost killed me and got me diagnosed with diabetes. I have been trying all kinds of things and honestly, while I get some minor temporary relief, I can clearly tell I am not actively combating the pain, just making it hurt less for a few hours.
I have struggled to find any clear and honest assistance, either paid for while in Dr offices or searching online on my own. Just lots of gimmicks for sale or snake oil procedures.
This morning I am trying your stretch routine. I am going to stick with it religiously for the next 2 weeks and come back here with my results.
If nothing else, thank you creating honest helpful content in a sea of get rich schemes for this condition. It's such a frustrating thing to live with and demoralizing when searching for results and all you see are get rich predators. So, thank you for this.
See you in 2 weeks.
You're welcome. I hope they help.
Thank you! I had an insane amount of nerve pain today after having a fever. Nothing was calming my nerves not even peppermint oil. This finally relaxed me enough to finally be able to sleep.

I am type 2 diabetic, and just about 3 months ago I started to get really bad foot pain. Burning, sharp needle like pain, and numbness. During the day i hardly notice it. At times it does hurt, but I really feel it during the night. I get about 3 hours of sleep, and nap during the day if possible. The pain keeps me up, and doesn’t let me sleep. I’ll definitely give these exercises a go before bed. I did notice since no movement during sleep the pain builds up so it wakes me. I never really took care of myself being a diabetic nor took any medication, but that’s all changed now I’m back on my meds! But bad eating habits are hard to kick. Definitely making better life choices!!! Alcohol was one of the hardest bad habit to kick I am now 3 weeks sober it’s not easiest, but I’m doing it, and I’m proud of myself for that.
You should be proud of yourself. That's a big accomplishment. Keep it up, and hopefully the stretches will help too.
I have neuropathy in my right foot up to my knee and less severely in my left foot. I just started working again recently because I was out of work due to a seizure. I've found my neuropathy getting progressively worse as it was severe pain and electric shocking feeling 24/7 before taking muscle relaxers. I found your video a while back didn't do it. then today I had the pain of desperation to do it and WOW it was so worth it. All of my lower body feels so much better. My goal is 2-3 times a day. Thank You sooo much!

Thank you so so so much. I started having arm and leg pain with tingling in both my hands and feet starting last week, with my doctors thinking my heartburn medication may have helped lead to vitamin deficiencies and potentially causing my nerve damage, anemia, or peripheral neuropathy (whatever this might be). Have yet to be diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, but all signs point to it; just waiting now to get some blood work done for vitamin deficiency and hopefully get an EMG done with a neurologist. I’ve spent the last few nights struggling to get relief in order to fall asleep, but your exercise videos for both hands and feet have helped me already on my first time doing them. You definitely gained a new subscriber and fan, thank you once again 🙏🏻😀

Doctors seem helpless about neuropathy. Thanks for opening the subject. It may be numb or screaming as mine is today. Of cause that drug that helped stop the pain is now and-no. Please don't give up showing options on your videos or minimize the pain.
This helped, just in the first few minutes. Not completely gone, but certainly less. It may come back again tomorrow, but now I know something to try. Thanks!

I had spinal fusion a few months back, went to physical therapy, but I wasn't given exercises for peripheral neuropathy, he's actually a good pt, so I'm not mad about the mistake. Anyway, surgeon said the numbness, tingling and pain is normal, but strangely had started to worsen a few weeks ago. I've done several of your exercises in the past so found this video, it's gotten so much better. Not nearly as painful, not much numbness and only slight tingling. I'm hoping this isn't permanent, hoping all the walking is good enough for growing scar tissue, I have a feeling the scar tissue is there, but surgeon is still hopeful the nerve pain will go. If it ended up being permanent, these exercises are enough to help manage the pain, I'm not scared anymore. Thank you so much for making this video. 💗

@Judy Fleming how are u now?
I am only a 31 year old male, only weigh 150 pounds, and am having a number of issues, which seems to have come out of nowhere, hitting me like a lightning bolt. About a year, and a half ago, I started to experience pain in BOTH of my knees, when standing. It got worse as time went on, and now it's at a point, where I can barely stand, because the pain is so unbearable, and I have to sit after just a few minutes of standing. Both of my knees crack, and pop CONSTANTLY. Seems like it's every time I stand from sitting, and when I walk. I saw an orthopedist about a week ago, they took X-rays, and he said the X-rays look fine. In 2014, I went into that same orthopedic clinic, where there's more than one specialist, and saw a different doctor, for back pain I was having. I had an MRI done of my back. When I went in for my knees a week ago, the doctor brought up my back, and the MRI I had done in 2014, and he said I had some sort of vertebrae fracture, and it caused a disc to bulge, and he seems to think that disc could still be bulging, and could be compressing a nerve, causing my knees to hurt. I don't think that's what's causing it. Why would I feel like I constantly need to pop my knee? Why would they feel almost locked up all the time? My right foot is tingling bad. It's bugging the heck out of me. I've been on Gabapentin since 2013. It's not doing anything to help the tingling either. I'm just ready to give up. I'm miserable, and on top of all this physical pain, Im suffering from anxiety, and panic attacks.
It's possible it's coming from your back. When nerves are compressed, they cause muscles to tighten/spasm/not work properly (at any point down the legs), which could cause the locked up feeling or need to pop the knees. Have you tried going to see a physical therapist yet? That would really be the best option.
Good video. I am 77 years old and have severe idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. The numbness, tingling and pain go all the way from my feet to the middle of my thighs. Most of my problems come at night when I'm trying to sleep. I'm a candidate for drop foot but haven't noticed that at this point. I will certainly try these exercises. Thanks!!!
Thanks, and you're welcome! I hope they help.
Peripheral neuropathy is so painful. Sometimes my feet feel like I stuck them on a live wire. then other times, like now my feet feel like they're in a bucket of frozen ice. Anyone else feel that way too?
Edit- my feet are beyond falling asleep.. it's very painful.. more like a burning painful numbness and very sensitive.. and at times a painful freezing cold but not to the touch.
Jeannie, we have same pains. My toed hurt so bad also bottom of my feet. My hands the fatty part at base of thumbs. I have yrs ago had c tunnel surgery on both. My legs feel like being struke by lightning now its goes down side of right leg. You are only one describe the ice bucket i tell drs that. I can only wear certain shoes.i put them on my palm if i feel any weight i cant wear them. I can wear clark sandles my shoes cost over 100 dollars but i cant help that. Too bad we arent neighbors i have had this since 1988 and ive had many eeg test they dont even hurt anymore. Take care.I have no balance. You will find a walker easier than a cane. I use when at mall, home shows and such
Jeannie Billiejean omg....I thought I was the only one.....My feet feel like I’m standing on two blocks of ice...at night, it is worse...the excruciating pain from my feet being so cold keeps me up all night long to the wee hours of the morning, until I finally fall asleep at 3 or 4 in the morning......then I have burning sensation on both of my feet, that feels like my feet are on fire.....it’s awful......my endocrinologist referred me to a neurologist for nerve pain....I hope this doctor can help me....
Yes I've never had pain like this til I had my knee s replacement
You are definitely not alone I'm 34 and was diagnosed last year and never have I experienced pain like this and doctors just seem to understand
@@oj907 well that's good that your doctors understand.. I believe mine do too, but to a degree.. because I think others that experience the pain and have to live with it everyday definitely understand because they feel it too.
I have nerve pain and sleep deprivation but doctors have no idea what it is. But I'm certain it's circulation issues due to bad sleep
Might be vitamin B1 deficiency.
I use b complex way b1 please
Thank you 🙏 these very simple exercises are very beneficial for those suffering from Blood circulation issues. Thank you, keep up the good work 👍 God Bless You 🙏
You’re welcome.
Thank you .. yr presentation is vrry good.. pls go ahead and upload more for all exercises you are experienced with.God Bless You.
You're welcome.
One session and I actually can move my big toe almost as well as the one that didn’t have problems. And sensitivity improved about 40% wowww thanks
You're welcome. Glad it's helping.
@@AskDoctorJo My legs feel very heavy and like anytime i could lose feeling in them.What is causeing this?
also take vitamins b6, b12, d3, magnesium, vitamin e, calcium, iron. also make sure it's not athletes foot and get antibiotics. from my own experience.
At first I thought ahhh this will not work.. but after I listen more and more it helped me immensely Thanks a ton. Dr. Jo
You're welcome.
Thank you Dr Jo. I do wish people would talk about how PN makes it hard to walk. I used to dance the night away and walk for miles and now I give up on getting out of bed because of PN or possible Drop Foot. I am only 65 years old.
I have been doing the foot exercises while lying in bed and can tell circulation is improving. I am also glad you added the leg & standing exercise and I hope to add those as well. I just ordered a yoga mat so I can make a special place to do stretches.
I have been using a cane over the last 3 years and just got a walker/rollator/wheelchair. Mostly got the walker to encourage myself to walk outside the house. My house is small and now so much smaller as I have limited my movements to bed. Really don't need walker in the house.
I have an appt to see physical therapist, but just getting to the therapy site is going to monumental. Just saw a neurologist and will be having tests done at the hospital in December. Just getting help is overwhelming for me and the process is so slow as appointments are scheduled for a couple months out.
So thank you Dr Jo for your youtube channel...hopefully I will be able to walk to the PT room at the clinic with help of the walker but if not I will get wheelchaired in. I won't see PT for a week (day after thanksgiving) but hopefully I will have added your standing exercises by then.
You're welcome.
PN is such a debilitating thing. I can't imagine having to walk all the time on feet that feel like pins and needles and numbness constantly.
I am glad to hear some of the exercises seem to be helping. Hopefully once you get to go to PT, you will be moving a little better, and hopefully they will be able to help you even further.
Good luck, and let me know how your PT session goes.
Hi Jo glad I found your channel.
Thank goodness for your straightforward informative approach! SO helpful!
Thanks :-) Good luck.
Sam Nicholl thank for such nice explain, I must use your guidance.

You're welcome.
The food we consumed has hurt our bodies. I Believe good quality food and nutrition is very important
Thank you very very much. After 1st practice I feel some positive effects with my neuropathy. Great video. Thanks doc. Jo.
You're welcome, and thanks.
Wow! Thank You Dr. Joe! Tonight my feet were on Fire! Toes burning... Very, very painful.... Two Vicodin, and still agony! Tried rubbing my feet, still very painful! Its the first time the tips of my toes felt this bad too! Argggg! Found your page and did your recommended exersises. Dont know if its the combo of stretches, exersises, and Vico, but the flames have temporarily simmered down, at least back in to the pain scale of 1 - 10!
My GP, sad to say, hasn't given one bit of advice on this matter! He's so consumed with being the next local Dr. Oz, that all he's concerned with is me joining his "New Elite Practice!" Yes, for a fee! Should a person see their doctor and come out more disappointed and disgusted than when they walked in!
So thank you for being a real person who cares about others enough to freely share here knowledge!
All the best... -Mike
You're welcome! I'm glad you got some relief. If you can, I would really recommend going to physical therapy. It can be very helpful. Good luck.
Thanks Dr JO. THATS PRECISELY MY EXERCISE plus diet(mostly vegies, fruits fish eggs butter beef once in a while NO PORK. Change lifestyle, back to basics.
You're welcome. Diet is definitely important too.
Mike, I don't understand how people can take Vicodin as it makes me sick, the same with any Codeine medications. I do take Cymbalta twice a day & that does help with neuropathy.
