Looking for help with natural relief for numbness of limbs. Anyone have any suggestions for things that may help give my dad some relief (nothing too invasive) from the numbness in arms and legs during end of life care đź’• many thanks
Hi lByrne,
Thank you for posting to the online community.
I am sorry to read that your dad is receiving end of life care and that the numbness in his arms and legs is causing him discomfort.
I would advise speaking to your dad’s palliative care team regarding this as they may be able to recommend treatments to help relieve it. Massage may also help and the palliative care team may be able to organize this.
If you would like to call our nurses on the Support Line on 1800 200 700 we can discuss this in more detail and recommend further supports.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
