Steroid epidural for neuropathy?

by aussiegirl on Fri Feb 12, 2016 11:05 am

Hello,

In October I started a new treatment plan that included Treanda (bendamustine), Revlimid, Velcade, and dex. The neuropathy lasted only a few days in November, then increased in December and was full time in January. I have since been to a pain management doctor who specializes in cancer patients. She said she has had success with a steroid epidural.

Has anyone else had this treatment and if so did it work?

From being a very active walker and hiker, I am keen to get back off the sofa instead of thinking about walking canes.

Also a lot of you have recommended Calm Mag. Is this only pill form? I am on so many tablets that just taking my tablets is exhausting. Is there a chewable form?

Thank you
