Very good. Keep up with the walking and healing messages. I also bought a foot massager. I like it, but do not love it, because most of my neuropathy is in my toes, and the machine does not do a great job on the toes. But generally, for the whole foot, it is ok. I would love to try to buy another machine, but they are expensive. Anyway, keep telling your brain to stop sending pain messages. My very best to you....Lori Renee

Hello...my neurology appointmenot was okay. He did a physical exam and ordered an EMG and NCV test. My appointment isn’t for 3 weeks! That seems like a long time to me but perhaps I am just anxious. He did note that the injury is most likely due to the nerve block and that most people with injuries from nerve blocks recover within a year. However, there are rare instances of permanent damage. So I guess I’ll know if I’m the exception or the rule after the testing. Anyway, thanks for reading this post. I am so thankful for this group.

@lorirenee1 thank you Lori Renee. Just wanted to provide an update on the foot massager I mentioned. It is from Med massager and has a vibrating platform. It arrived today so it is too soon to give a complete review but I can say it does relieve the burning sensations in my feet. I thought of what you said about your machine not doing a great job on your toes. This machine has a bar at the top of the platform that you can wrap your toes around which provides the toes with a massaging benefit. This unit was pretty pricey but I ordered it based on the many positive reviews I read. Thought I would mention it in case you may want to look into it at some point.
