Hi, @jeaiken I combined your discussion with an existing discussion on the Bemer treatment:
"Bemer treatment"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/bemer-treatment
Here, @bjk3 and @karen4kombucha discussed their experiences with Bemer treatment and may be able to join the conversation again to share any updates they may have.
@jeaiken Good evening ~
Justin McClanahan (Moderator) put me in touch with you and a couple of others. I am really sorry that you are having to put up with pain in your feet for so much of your day/evening. I hope you have found a specialist who can help you to deal with that.
I have had my BEMER for about 2-1/2 years and used the older model that belonged to my physical therapist for almost a year before purchasing my own. I tried to give a detailed description of my experience to mrmacabre (hopefully that's the correct spelling) who has been part of this discussion. It was a big (expensive) investment but I am so glad I went ahead with the purchase. I had enough time and improvement using the older model that my therapist loaned to me, that I didn't spend the money wondering if I'd regret it. I told mrmacabre that I didn't think it helped with pain management but maybe it does -- and I don't realize how I might be hurting if I weren't using it. Some things one really never really can be sure of! But I feel so much better - that is, healthier, able to deal with the effects of PN - using my BEMER. I do hope you are able to access whatever it is that will help you.

What exactly is a bemer device and what does it do?
