Hello @paulv, welcome to Connect. I've tried a Zopec DT1200 tens unit and didn't get much relief but I only have the numbness.
@goetf4997 @bruce2666 @patrick17 @pdsi43one @dbentley have discussed Anodyne treatment in other posts and may have some suggestions or information for you.

While we wait to hear back from other members, you may be interested in the following information from a previous post in this discussion.

Does Anodyne Light Therapy Improve Peripheral Neuropathy in Diabetes?

Effectiveness of the anodyne therapy system in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review

I looked into a similar treatment from Realief Neuropathy Treatment Center but decided against it based on conversations I had with the treatment center on possible outcomes vs cost vs number of treatments required before they said I would see results…if any. On the other hand I know of a lady older than myself (and I'm old ☺) to whom money was not a problem and she had many treatments and felt it helped her. I'm just not sold on it.

Hopefully some others will join in the conversation and provide you with more information on the anodyne therapy.

John FYI, I am not diabetic and my neuropathy is idopathic. Just another data point. Paul V

I have used the Zopec device that John is referring to for quite a few years -- it is an electrical stimulus device -- I use it about a half hour every morning, sometimes a bit longer -- I don't have the pain just the numbness and stiffness in my feet/ankles/lower legs. What I feel it does for me is that it stimulates the blood vessels, and then I don't feel the stiffness as much. I didn't think it was helping, but then when we went on vacation, I didn't take it with me, and then I knew it was helping me
