Hi, have you looked into trying MFR, or Myofascial Release Therapy? After just 1 session I could feel a reduction in the affects of neuropathy in my feet. After my 4th treatment, I can walk for 20-30 minutes, when before it was maybe less than 10 minutes. There are self treatments as well you do at home to help loosen the fascia in between sessions or not. This has really helped me with my attitude for life after a fall down stairs in Paris in 2012.
I also highly recommend the very gentle position of laying on your back and putting your legs up against the wall, like an L. If you are not real flexible, that’s ok, even getting your butt a foot away from the wall with your legs up, will relieve pooling of blood and fluids and drains by gravity. I do it to compliment my MFR treatments. I am a true believer in MFR as I have been a very strong proponent of this therapy as I have tried pretty much everything in the book. This is truly the first therapy where I have felt good for more than a few hrs. Now it’s much longer.
Hope this helps and good luck finding what you are looking for!!

...and I will try the leg excercises. I find stretching my calves and elevation helps. Thanks!

Hi and thank you for your reply! Yes, I actually have completed 6 sessions of myofacial release therapy. Because of multiple problem areas, my therapist is rotating throughout my body. I'm going twice a week and every other visit is for my legs. I have heard alot of good feed back from this forum which helped me decide to try it however, most success has seemed to be from people with foot neuropathy. My left foot is fine but, my right big toe has pain. Mainly my legs. I'm so impressed (and a little jealous honestly) that people have had relief with one session on their feet. That's awesome! I'm not there yet but I'm going to keep at it because for the most part it feels nice and my body deserves that. I do end up with pain in certain areas so he has to pull back and I have to communicate. Im high maintenance, I guess. Haha!
