A while back when I lived in Texas we had a hot tub and used it frequently no matter the weather to help with the neuropathy in me and stress pains that my partner had.
Does anyone else out there rely on a hot tub for pain relief? Also, does anyone out there rely on swimming or walking in water to help with pain or even just exercise?? Thanks, Bleusz

If I could I would... as I LOVE hot tubs, but when I overheat I get dizzy, weakness in my right side and such... so I miss hot tubs...

Hi bleusz! Well, I have a 6 ft, very deep whirlpool tub w/a built in heater. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that I cannot take a very warm bath in it. There's something about the heat and the whirlpool combined that totally makes me immobile. I used to love hot baths, but my neurological condition does not go well w/heat.
I wanted that darn tub so bad, but cannot tolerate real warm water. Although, the neck and leg jets do help w/my muscles, just have to watch the temps. I see your'e a new member, so welcome to Neurotalk....

I have RSD /CRPS in my leg along with arthritis in my knees and neck. I do get some relief when i use the hot tub, but when I get out the pain seems to be worse for a while??

Don't have a hot tub but have found my jacuzzi tub to work wonders. It's long enough to stretch out in and deep enough to fill and soak. I use it on a regular basis to help with PN.

I just got back from visiting a friend who has a hot tub. I tend to turn it up to about 102. It helped the pain sooooo much! I would give anything to have one.
I got in one morning and the leg/foot pain was so intense I could hardly walk and wouldn't have tried to if I hadn't wanted to get in the tub so bad. Afterwards that pain was all but gone for the rest of the day. I found to help every day. Helps circulation perhaps? The only scary thing was that I was bladder incontinent afterwards. I could not feel the need to pee. It would last about 20 minutes, then subside. That was worrisome! But I take pain meds and it probably numbs the nerves that alert the body for the need to go. Not sure though. Just my hope! Sunrise

We bought a used hot tub last summer. I can only tolerate 99 degrees, but the water jets really soothe my shoulders and back. Takes about 20 minutes, then I feel much better.
Howdy and welcome to you newcomers!
