Hi, @swamplady -
I have not, but my PT is a myokinesthetist and works wonders on my muscles and tendons. She does apply some reflexology but not as specifically as what you are referring to. My neuropathy is long-fiber and - surprise, surprise - has been a long journey of finding what works for me and what doesn't. It's like a jigsaw puzzle of pieces that misses one or two (more??) so I never really get to a completed state of being altogether put back: PT, OT, deep tissue laser therapy, Bemer magnetic blood circulation stimulator, chiropractic, prescription pain relievers Pregabalin and Tramadol plus Ropinerole for Restless Leg Syndrome, and a plethora of nutritional supplements. Very supportive shoes are essential, and at night there would be little to no sleep without a large heating pad on second-highest setting for my feet.
Long answer to short question - sorry! Maybe you have already tried the things I wrote about. I'll be 77 in 3 weeks and have had sensory-motor demyelinating neuropathy for over 25 years. But I am blessed - living in and maintaining my own home and driving. God is so good!!!
