I’m new here...but just wanted to share! About 5 yrs ago I was diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease in my legs. Luckily I do not suffer with cramps but have a stiff, numb feeling in my feet mostly under my toes. Quite by chance I was amazed to see a recommendation online for using Vicks vapour rub!! I have tried this for three nights and the results are very vey good.No numbness and at last my feet feel like they belong to me again😀 apparently it is also very good for muscle aches and pains too. Hope this will help someone else as well.

I have found when we as humans have ongoing health issues that you can’t seem to get on top of we will try anything to help. As we get older we realise that there is not always someone out there who can take our illnesses and ailments away, doctors are just like us, they are humans who only have a limited time for each patient and they sometimes give incorrect advice for that particular patient, so us as humans when in pain will start to try anything that might help. I had an op last week for a stuck kidney stone after lithotripsy the week before, if someone said try rubbing goats ear wax on my back I would have tried it lol, the morphine I was given didn’t even touch the pain I was in. I hope the Vicks carry on working for you, once I am over the kidney stone issue I will give it a go as I suffer a lot at night with foot pain.
Thxs Maisywhippet I suffer so bad with peripheral neuropathy I just don’t know what else to do. My lifestyles is very limited.. Thxs a million for sharing this ole time rub.. I keep some in the medicine cabinet and getting ready to give it a try!
please let me know if it works for you,...I’m still using it every night and it’s still working for me. Before my feet felt numb,stiff and very restless, also difficult to bend toes as though swollen but in fact there was no swelling...good luck and hope it gives you some relief.
Good morning Maisywhippet Well I can truly tell a difference.. it’s not so intense as it was.. Yes ma’am it is making a big difference! I will keep applying it and will keep the Faith 🙏🏽💐
