I believe that reducing overall stress and anxiety is a very important part of dealing with PN (at least for me).
I have found that , although massage feels good when it's done, it seems to aggravate and cause much pain the next day. I am a deep tissue massage veteran and used to be a work out for the therapist, but since my flu shot - small fiber neuropathy medical crisis, I can no longer tolerate it at all.
