Giving Nooro a try

Posted by madmouse43 @madmouse43, Apr 9 7:59pm

From my time here on the Mayo Clinic Connect and my own experience I realize that there is no magic bullet for painful feet from PN Wether it be drugs, machines, home remedies or anything else. All of our attempts for relief have received personal unique results.
What helps one does not necessarily help all others or even any others. It is with that in mind that I am going to give the Nooro Foot Massager which I got on a 90 day no questions asked return policy.
I will be using setting 1 at a strength of 13 to see what happens (it seemed like the most appropriate setting) for 15 minutes 1x per day.
If anyone had any hints, suggestions or comments I would live to hear from you.

It was really expensive through my insurance - something like $300 for a month vs. $57 compounded. Always trust the pharmaceutical companies to gouge patients.

This is an update on my trying Nooro.
Used it for 15 min a day for 1 month at the highest setting of 19.
Didn't notice much if any help so was convinced to send it back.
Tonight my feet were really painful an d causing a lot of grief so I j u st decided to try it to see what happened.
Now I am keeping it as it really took the edge off my Neuropathy. In my personal subjectig e experience the ever day routine wasn't much help but I had noticeable improvement using it to calm my episode. Don't know if this will always work or work again, but helped this time.

Do not use electro stim if you have a pacemaker. I tried the ES before I had my pacemaker. I thought it was doing some good but afterward it was back to the same pain. I use these leg "squeezers" you put them around your legs, hook the hoses up to a small air compressor and they intermittently squeeze massage you legs and feet. Feet feel.pretty good afterward. I use them before bed.

Would you please give me the name of the "squeezer" device you spoke of? TY.

I sent in a comment yesterday telling how the Nooro really helped me at night. It mainly helped me sleep through any pains I was having for about 3 or more hours. This is a patch you move around on the pain spots for 10 minutes, then move to another spot. It's definitely worth a try.

It's called a Fit King Leg Massager. I got it on Amazon for $71.19.

I tried Norro and got nothing. I returned it and got a full refund.

My new neurologist prescribed me Lyrica today, since Gabapentin caused me blurry vision. I’m wary of trying it, but am awakened during the night with hands tingling.

What difference do you see?

I think this company is a scam. I have tried to return my mom's hand massager for arthritis. They do not allow me to return it. I need their "support." I've waited 34 minutes, 65 minutes, and 23 minutes for them to pick up, and I just wait in purgatory on the phone. They also do not answer emails. I would go with another company.
