Been googling some symptoms I’ve got left from a stroke and seems to match up with this… anyone any idea how can counter this…
- Tingling or burning sensation
- Numbness or lack of feeling
- Pain and sensitivity to touch

When I had an altered Sensation to regain a normal Sensation I was advised to touch lots of different items of different textures and just keep doing that until the sensation returned to normal.
A lot of stroke recovery is just about giving things time. You are still very early in the recovery process and no doubt feeling very frustrated by it all but patience is needed as part of the recovery process.

Tricky,
How long are you post stroke?
Take B vitamins for nerves
Honey too
RLT / PBM may help

ps. here’s a list I made for myself
Hallux Day Remedies (Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve)
- PhotoBioModulation (can accelerate nerve regeneration, presenting an increase in the number of myelinated fibres and a better lamellar organization of myelin sheath, besides improvement of electrophysiological function, immunoreactivity, decrease of inflammation, pain, and the facilitation of neural regeneration, release of growth factors, increase of vascular network and collagen)
- Maintain blood flow (provides nutrients oxygen and glucose which nerve cells use to create energy. Removes waste from nerves creating a clean environment for them to function. Promotes new nerve cell growth). Tyme essential oil is excellent for boosting circulation.
- Tart Cherry juice (contains anthocyanins which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress)
- Copaiba (a natural oil resin extracted from the trunks of trees in the genus Copaifera, native to South America, particularly in the Amazon rainforest. Known for its versatile benefits and uses, copaiba oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine by indigenous peoples). It has beta-caryophyllene (binds to CB2 receptors) a compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic and antioxidant properties.
- Benfotiamine (a fat-soluble derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1), known for its improved bioavailability compared to regular thiamine.) It has shown potential benefits for supporting nerve health, including the repair and maintenance of the myelin sheath.
- Helichrysum oil contains fat soluble compounds like acetophenones and terpenoids which support the nervous system and aid with nerve degeneration
- Rosemary (Essential Oil: used medicinally to support the nervous system and relieve neuropathic pain: Neuroprotective properties can help control pain and prevent nervous system changes caused by nerve injury. The most abundant compound in rosemary, carnosic acid, can help mitigate damage to nervous system tissue and manage neurodegenerative disorders)
- iTeraCare wand (terahertz frequency waves enhance hydrogen bond vibrations leading to openings between DNA strands. This triggers the DNA Damage Response DDR and a reaction that upregulates genes (P53) and pathways that guard your genome)
- Raw Honey (a natural substance with many medicinal properties, including antibacterial, antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, and hypoglycaemic effects. Flavonoids, in honey, can reduce neuroinflammation by decreasing the production of free radicals and proinflammatory cytokine)
- Water (It is critical to stay hydrated throughout the day to reduce inflammation and avoid triggering pain receptors. Water activates the parasympathetic nervous system)
- Medical CBD (anti-inflammatory properties, reducing anxiety by quelling inflammation in the brain and nerves)
- NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) Lentils, beans, bananas (a cysteine donor that helps synthesize glutathione, an antioxidant that helps reduce hydrogen peroxide and hydroperoxides. Also controls glutamate, a neurotransmitter, and reduces inflammation and damage caused by oxidative stress)
- Ginger (the active compound gingerol may help with nerve pain and inflammation. Ginger may prevent nerves from making certain prostaglandins, which can ease pain and discomfort)
- Nerve flossing (or nerve gliding, is a technique used to mobilize irritated or compressed nerves. It gently stretches and releases tension aiming to “slide” the nerve within its sheath to improve its mobility and reduce pain or discomfort caused by nerve impingement). I tried the saphenous nerve floss technique by Dr. Daniel Birch.
- Qigong Meditation (Mindfulness and focused attention are used to enhance awareness, improve concentration, improve blood circulation, cultivating a state of mental clarity and calm. Breath control is used to enhance the body’s natural energy flow.)
- Grounding increases blood flow, thinning the blood. It is also anti-inflammatory. Negatively charged electrons flow into the body helping neutrophils to complete their repair process. May be through using a mat or walking on grass.
- Lying upside-down is an excellent way to aid circulation. Elevating your legs or hanging upside down can encourage blood flow back to the heart, which may help reduce swelling in the legs and feet. This is particularly beneficial for those who stand or sit for long periods.

9 week nearly Roland, I’ve noticed a hot shower gives temporary release cheers fr all the advise, I’m recovering from my paralysis fairly well it’s on opposite side these sensory issues arose about 2 week after I’ve returned to hospital fr mri who said was stigma of stroke (medullary)

Yes. Stimulate your nerves anyway that they respond to… they are thirsty for action !
Keep going, ciao, R
