Ive been taking ibuprophen and benadryl. I worry about the long term side effects of using these. However, I do limit myself. The ibuprophen I will only take once a day and onlyvif I'm having a bad day. I take 50 Mg of benadryl everynight. I started doing this because a nurse practicioner told me that would help with anxiety but it also seems to help with my PN for some reason.

Default Before taking anything....

I found that since most of my discomfort is in my feet, that what I wear on my feet makes a big difference. If your shoes and socks are putting pressure on nerves, you can tell by taking them off and then finding more appropriate foot wear. The pain and discomfort that crawled up my right leg in the beginning is a very rare occurence now since I wear crocks and flip flops, and looser socks if I have to. You still may need to take something but finding out if your nerves are being restricted could also help.
