Has anyone successfully used a CINCOM Air Compression Leg Massager to help with neuropathy?

@mcicchillo, I haven't used the CINCOM Air Compression Leg Massager but I do have a similar one I use for my legs but it doesn't really help with my neuropathy. I use it more for circulation and to help with swelling from lymphedema in my legs. I don't have pain with my neuropathy just numbness and some tingling. The leg massager doesn't really help much with that but my legs do feel good for a short period of time after I use the massager.

Do you have pain with your neuropathy?

Hello @fiestyone28, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are having pain toes. Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?

I am using a Med + Messager (a vibrator for my feet that I purchased from Costco during a promotion) I have reported earlier on this Mayo site that I am using a Rebuilder Sytem and a Red Light therapy. I am uncertain that they work-- but I just notice that the swelling in my legs below the knees has almost been eliminated. My understanding from my Cardio MD is that the back flow valves in my leg veins are failing and letting blood flow back and cause my legs to swell. He is always promoting compression socks - but I have not recently been wearing them.

So this is an interesting change and hopefully it will continue.
