@CancerRehabPT Thank you SO much for this video, this has helped me very much doing it on a daily. Between chemo & my diabetes + reading about certain meds & what they have done to my nerves. I don't know how or why my docs don't help me in the long run they just keep throwing meds, I appreciate your help & your calming voice.

These are the exercises I learned to relieve heel spurs. Do in bed upon waking, where possible. Love you, and thank you.

[@bonitabonita3431]

Thank You!

[@cinmac3]

what are those, the ankle rolls ?

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Well 8 months ago I commented how wonderful these exercises made my feet feel at the end of the day, dismissing that I had neuropathy. I haven’t done them consistently, and now I am convinced I do have neuropathy. So how cool is it that your short from yesterday and this video from 8 months ago show up at the same time when I have been markedly hurting! Kelly, you are a vessel by which blessings are given to us!! Thank you!!!

[@AuntyLaniLee]

THIS IS A VERY GOOD VIDEO! I am 83 and am almost wheelchair bound because of chemotherapy neuropathy. I have suffered since 2017. I hope it's not too late. Thank you.

[@doctorcotton]

These exercises help from the very first set of repetitions. Thanks ever so much for posting them.

[@HYGHYGHYG]

Due to being a laughing gas enthusiast I have acquired quite a lot of neuropathy symptoms over the years. This video gave me hope and even if it doesn't end up working in the end, I at least have something to work towards and hope for. For whoever dealing with similar situations and have lost hope, don't give up. I wish you a speedy recovery❤

[@Llo834]

💙 How are you now

[@NefaLaJefa]

[@selvacoumarys2863]

Hi kelly, this video of yours is superb and thanks for sharing simple exercises with adequate demonstration. God bless you dear❤

[@CancerRehabPT]

Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad it was helpful 🙂

[@LittleOrla]

Thank you so much. Easy exercises that can be done throughout the day while washing dishes, standing in line, watching tv, . . .

[@CancerRehabPT]

Exactly! I hope they help 🙂

[@GaryEnglish-k9s]

I am a stroke survivor. These are all very good exercises for a gammy leg. I am working on drop-foot and a stiff leg, particularly on the lift up. . . . and elbow and fingers . . . the list is long. This is a very good video, you have another subscriber.

[@elizabethfeldman2332]

Thank you for making this video and make it available for everyone, you not idea how helpful it’s been for me , you’re professional in the ways you explain each exercise. Thanks

[@lolitaray7936]

Thank you for these exercises. Experienced neuropathy pain for the first time ever due to chemo treatments and didn't know what to do to calm the effects. Cant wait to try these exercises. Im also experiencing swelling in the ankles and feet. Wearing light compression socks (15-20). This help control some of the swelling when put on first thing in the morning. Thank you.

My friend Brook has it really bad just a couple months ago she had to have a big toe amputated, She used to be one of my favorite customers she had some back injuries and always had to wear a plastic back brace and thru all that adversity she was and still is a ray of sunshine. She always seems to be happy sometimes I could cry for her. Her husband understands and once in a while I take her out to eat. I get feeling sorry for myself and thinking about her makes me feel guilty about that. If there are such things as Angeles she is one.❤

Thank you Kelly, much appreciated for your efforts, I started this week with the burning feet.

[@markl5007]

Yes I also get burning feet there are days where the pain can be very excruciating… some days hardly anything

[@SunitaSingh-u2m]

Thank you for the video. It been informative and reinforces some of the stretches I find myself doing naturally. Thanks again...

[@pasinettataylor1534]

Thanks lady thanks a lot I have to go on the 9 of this month for an MRI so my doctor can find out why my feet have soooo much burning and numbness in my feet omg this terrible I can't drive because of it smh I'm trying these great exercises NOW!

[@bludiva27]

Did they figure it out?

[@halhilou02]

Please let us know if they found anything?

[@debrabullion3766]

Thank you! I’m going to implement these. I do some. But you gave me good ideas. I find walking barefoot on the beach helps. It exercises, desensitizes the feet. The only place a can go barefoot. Uses muscles that don’t get used in shoes. Unfortunately it’s been mostly too cold to go. So I’ll try your recommendations. Thank you!

[@hugovanderlaan8505]

They help me against cold feet. Thank you again, darling.

[@markl5007]

Cold feet yes I also get purple feet as well..due to no feelings in both feet the left side of my body is much weaker… I am thankful we got a makeover of our bathtub to a shower conversion… thanks to our apartment manager for there help as well… it’s been a huge help for both my wife and myself

[@amandatkids854]

Wow thank you for these exercises! They’re super helpful and after finishing along, the outside of my lower legs are actually calm ahhhhh 🧘‍♀️ 😊that’s so amazing! Thank you thank you! I have a moment of peace now!

[@sillylindomatador]

Here how i was able to combat this: Morning: wake up and do this exercise in the morning, boiled 3 eggs with avocado and black beans. Took vitamin b complex and alpha lipioc ac. Noon: lentils, with vegetables fish/turkey or chicken with vitamin B12 Night: green salad with a cup of blueberries. And magnesium oxide. No sugar and a lot of water. You must do this consistently for at least 3 weeks. Remember, the nerves takes a long time to heal. Of course, I visited my doctor first and he gave me the green lightto do this.

[@JPWRana]

So is your neuropathy gone? Or is that diet that you have the same forever?

[@caroletyzack7212]

​@@JPWRanaI'd like to know too. It's annoying when people post things, especially when in such detail and then never come back to reply.

[@mariakasprzyk4515]

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR HELPING HURTING PEOPLE. GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤

[@aloysiusschulte648]

From another old goat, I also experienced a great increase in foot neuropathy while taking statin drugs. The doctors said it was caused by alcohol. Stopped taking statins after some 15 years of taking them. The severe pain stopped within a few months and overall neuropathy is slowly fading.

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

These exercises are great!! I don’t have neuropathy but my feet ache at the end of the day. I tried these exercises earlier this evening and my feet and ankles felt so refreshed! Great job Kelly!! Thank you!!

[@CancerRehabPT]

Wonderful! I’m so happy to hear that!

[@ramatsimelarmamosebo9660]

Thank U for the exercise because my feet are tingling

[@sillylindomatador]

I was suffering from this. My feet and hands was having this tingling/burning sensation. It was horrible. I wasn’t able to sleep, the burning and numbness was insane. However, if i was able to heal, you too. I will share it below

[@bludiva27]

How were you able to heal?

Please can you share with us your pathway to healing? Thank you very much

Thank You ! Also diet very important to me , I also do way better When I stay away from sugar !

[@1man2many]

Thank you so much for ALL your videos! I share them with friends and family, now we are all getting older. I experienced the strangest thing when going for a walk around the block, only half mile or so- my feet got NUMB! This was very concerning as I immediately thought I might fall. It happened a few times, but not consistently. It DID make me admit I'm getting old, and better take action to recover function.

[@BJocsak-qc2xt]

Great, clear instructions. Reminds me of exercises I was given in PT after chemo. Thanks for sharing these quality videos. Very helpful

[@BexfromTexas]

You are lucky. You must hv great doctors. I wasn't given any instruction on exercises after chemo.

[@BJocsak-qc2xt]

@@BexfromTexas PT is provided to help restore function after breast cancer surgery and chemo. Hope that clarifies. Neuropathy remains. Am very thankful for drs and nurses. Stay strong.

[@JennyNoble-o6g]

Absolutely YES. I've started wearing socks even with sandals because it feels better. But I realised recently that when I take them off I can't feel the difference. It's SO WEIRD ....!!!! The whole neuropathy thing is weird. Not painful as such. Just annoyingly THERE. So hard to describe it to anyone. They are NUMB .....yet you are constantly AWARE of your feet ???

[@raviechandrabulusu4990]

True..wearing socks while walking helped me.And it certainly helped me in driving my car as I am more sure of the sense on pedals for breaking,accelerating and changing clutch.

[@gipsiesrealm]

Don’t know if this will help anybody but I had neuropathy in my feet and hand had to cut out sugar and I had to add vitamin B‘s back into my system. They were just destroyed vitamin B helps with restless leg syndrome as well as neuropathy, but it is the full spectrum of vitamin B I use nutritional yeast, that does not have all the amino acids in it just plain nutritional yeast and it works great

[@iqah0701]

Thank you! So you get vitamin B from nutritional yeast or which supplement brand do you take?

[@biblejohn4681]

Aminos acids are important for men at all ages and active women, too. Without them you cannot build and repair muscle. Keep exercising to the extent that you can for your entire life. Get that heart pumping life blood throughout your body.

I have been diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy last month and read it can be caused by taking Amlodipine. Never had pain in my feet till my cardiologist increased the dosage from 2.5 to 10 mg per day . Stopped taking it a week ago and will see.🥴

[@gemini9555]

Thxs ask at my next appointment‼️⁉️👌

[@valpadilla1]

I do take amlophodine and had the same problem. But after taking vit D suppliment and exercise i was able to recover my health.

[@oldgoat50]

​@@valpadilla1I have an appointment with a pain management Dr to see if I am a candidate for electrical pain management. Can't think what it's called. They put a battery in one's back and it's controlled by a phone type device. It sends a signal to the brain to eliminate pain. 😮

[@angelarainey7258]

I'm having the same problem due to the same med and the Dr said it's got nothing to do with this drug and says its dangerous to take me off it. Why? Only reason could be that there's an addictive elrment go it. If so why can I drop it for a week and see my problems reduce!!

[@oldgoat50]

​@@angelarainey7258My cardiologist said in his 25 years he never heard of Amlodipine causing Neuropathy. Well I saw my pain management Dr today and I am to get a trial test when insurance gets the paperwork done. Will report back when I get the next step.

I have been dealing with this condition for about 3 years now, I walk 30 minutes everyday , and until recently, I have found that absoultely no sugar what so ever! The slighest of a rasin or cranberry can set off a reaction for stiffness and burning..I am maintaining a calming feeling as long as I watch not even eating fruit. so I do a lot of vegatbles and my condition is stable. I have done everything under the sun ,but to no advail. I am learning to squat on my total gym and hold at that position for a couple minutes. I also suffer from L-4 & L-5 stenosis.... this helps a lot...I have also noticed that some of your toe & heal lifts can also be acomplished on the machine.

[@cynthiajohnson798]

Carnivore diet. All fruits and vegetables have oxalates that crystalize within us turning into glass shards that cut us microscopically inside causing inflammatory issues. Yesterday go to our nerves. Fruits and vegetables are fullof neurotoxins.
