I have non diabetic neuropathy and was excited to see stimulators for feet. Ended up with not one but two scams through NOORO. Reluctant to try another. Has anyone had success with feet stimulators from other companies?

I have the Accu Relief brand electrical foot stimulator, have had it for several years. Feels good while using it but it has not brought any relief to the foot neuropathy at all. My neuro doctor wrote me a scrip for Duloxetine 6 weeks ago and it has reduced the pain level by 50% or so. On a low dose so doctor said he can double the dosage and see if that helps even more.

Through my chiropractor, I purchased a rather expensive electrostimulator. The method of use is to place your feet into a water bath with each foot on a separate partition (I just use table salt to ensure conductivity). Two electropads are placed, one in each partition, and the machine is turned on. You can adjust the intensity of the elec. The treatment lasts 30 minutes. I have also tried different feet stimulators, but this one, although expensive, is the best i've found. The fact that your feet are in water ensures that the electrostimulation is distributed all over your feet and not just on the bottom. The machine is sold by "Rebuilder Medical". I also use this machine on my knees for OA.
