Hello @richardfrancine, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I used a Zopec DT-1200 tens unit years ago with not much success or help. I have no experience with the Rebuilder but I'm really skeptical of all the claims. It seems similar to what a lot of the neuropathy clinics offer for treatments that have you continually coming back for the next treatment. Hoping others can share their experience.
I tried the Rebuilder device many years ago. I found it completely ineffective and the supplies to be overpriced. I think you should be skeptical of the claims. It simply didn't work for me anymore than electric stimulation at the podiatrist's office. That was also a complete failure. I do not understand how these treatments get approval. You are correct that it's just an over marketed TENS device.
The Rebuilder claims it works by sending specially designed electric signals to help cancel pain. You put your feet in water and put the electrodes in the water. I found it only helped because of putting my feet in the water, which I do now to help my painful neuropathy in my feet. I believe it does not do what it claims to do.

Sanexas plus B12 injections straight into my feet worked very well for me...along with some other life style changes...It was a bit too expensive but is "worth the salt"...
Now I'm doing Sanexas only twice/month just for maintenance...

I have been self injecting (into my arm) Vit B12 for years( 20+) RX from my primary. My neuropathy is only tingling and numbness. no pain. Both legs and now hands. Balance issues requiring a rolling walker. Had a workup and after painful testing was told, yes, you have ideopathic neuropathy (non-diabetes) but I watch my A1c carefully It stays below 6. I wonder if I hadn't used the Vit B12 if I would have pain. I am 85
Hello fellow Peripheral Neuropathy sufferers. I have had this condition for 20 years give or take 30. I am assuming it started as a result of a back injury do to a fall down my stairway. My feet were where I noticed 1st that something was not quite right. About 6 or 7 years ago my doctor prescribed gabapentin. I found I was taking so much that I was concerned about effects, so I switched to Lyrica. I use Tramadol when I have trouble sleeping. Only temporary relief I get is from leg and foot massage using a CBD lotion. Deep breathing meditation that I learned from my yoga instructor sometimes helps. There is no cure so one must find a way to live with it. My recommendation is to not fall for scam artists who sell products. If anyone has suggestions for relief I would appreciate knowing what others are using.
I have tried it. It did not work for me. I have severe neuropathy pain in my feet, legs, hands, and arms that was caused by a failed cervical steroid injection. I tried it because a physical therapist claimed it worked for his other patients.
I used the rebuilder and it gave me pain which I didn’t have before. I went to a doctor that claimed he could help neuropathy. I just had trouble walking but no pain. I regrettably sign a $8,840 contract for a years treatment that was done everyday at home. I am now fighting the charges. Beware

I agree, I am now fighting charges of $8,840 for a rebuilder and red light therapy through a chiropractor. I did the therapy at home 2x a day and went to the office to have tens machine put on my legs for 30 minutes. Beware they use psychology and it works.

I received mine through a chiropractor and a red light piece of equipment which I did at home 2x a day. I received the sanexas treatment once a week at the office. It cost $8,840 which I am fighting. Beware
