THE REBUILDER for peripheral neuropathy

Posted by richardfrancine @richardfrancine, May 24, 2021

Has anyone tried this machine? If so, does it work? Or is it just another way of delivering TENS?

Thank you. I have been doing something similar with electrical stimulation but it hasn’t helped me yet.

SCAM - SCAM - SCAM ALERT! There are entire industries devoted to taking advantage of desperate, medically challenged people. PLEASE, talk to your Dr., a person with a legit medical background when it comes to any therapy or med for Neuropathy. These blood suckers will say and do anything to get your $.

There is no so-called “cure.”
As I indicated earlier, my Doctor is willing to prescribe a 30 day supply of Oxycodone APAP 5/525 (120) to be taken for a maximum of 4 tablets per day. Since a common side effect is a hardening of one’s stool, each pill can be accompanied by one over-the-counter stool softener..
Since Oxy is a tightly controlled substance, the addictive side effect is an important cautionary tale requiring self discipline on use as per maximum 4 daily, one every 4 hours.,
The good news.......it is highly effective in treating the pain & discomfort and insomnia.
Importantly, it is not a cure for peripheral neuropathy and none exists.
Massage in daily hot baths is very helpful, as is application and self massage with Aveeno mosturizing lotion readily available at any drugstore or pharmacy.
Let me know in due time if this combination of pharma & practical remedies works for you as it does for me. If your doctor is reluctant to prescribe a possibly addictive medication like Oxy, emphasize your determination to strictly adhere to a 4 a day regimen with your pharmacist overseeing that regimen.
Give it a try......and good luck

Yes, I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars with naturopathic doctors, therapists, acupuncturists, tens units, etc. I have tried Naltrexone, Tramadol, Cymbalta, Lyrica, etc. For me a combo of lyrica and an opioid patch has controlled my pain to a level three the past few years. I know everyone is different. My pain is not something that is intermittent. It is constant. My legs have not felt the same since I developed this disease. Mine is considered idiopathic neuropathy. I have been tested for everything at the university and nothing is positive. All blood tests were negative. My doctor thinks I could possibly pre-diabetic. Who knows. For me it came on after a virus and never left. I have asked my neurologist about every so called "cure" for neuropathy and he said there is none. He will not even recommend IVIG. Not sure why. Thank God I have good doctors willing to treat my pain. I don't know what I would do without them. Best of luck.

I have tried it. It did not work for me. I have severe neuropathy pain in my feet, legs, hands, and arms that was caused by a failed cervical steroid injection. I tried it because a physical therapist claimed it worked for his other patients.

My situation compares w/many. fall while on vacation, resulting in a partial hip replacement Back in the states, had problems with feet feeling like dried glue on bottom. Leg cramping and problems sleeping. Neurologist eeg tests confirmed severe spinal stenosis. Had cervical steroid shot, after 2nd shot really bad neuropathy?? Now using a tens unit, really doesn't help. Going in for more physical therapy. This has been going since 2018. Just trying to live out my life and hoping not to fall and end it all. Doing the best I can

So are all these electronic devices a scam?
