My neurologist currently has on an East stem device called NEUROGENX. It is a powerful stimulation device. Prescribed for twice a week, 2420 minute sessions. It has made a difference. Incremental improvement. Doc or PA injects, lidocaine and sodium bicarbonate, at the side of three different nerves, two inside and below the knee, and the third on the outside, and just under the ankle bone. This is to compensate for the electrical current.

had a neuropathic doctor tell me not to use consumer grade tens devices as they inadvertently shoot the nerves in an uncontrolled environment.

follow up: this therapy has helped. PN localized to soles of feet now, 90% of time. I have 6 sessions left. Soles are beginning to be sensitive (vs. numb or pins/needles). I take that as nerves getting healthy.

Medicare pays all except $20 office visit. Neurologist MD says after last session we’ll wait a while, and if needed, can do another course of treatment without damaging anything.
