Hi @betty1952
I have used cold laser therapy for my neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome. The instrument is FDA approved and is at some physical therapy places and chiropractors (so check your insurance). There have been studies done, the therapy has been found to be effective after at least 4 weeks @2x.
I also take a prescription called Metanx for nerve health. With both of these and exercise, my goal is to hopefully reduce the rate of the spread of the neuropathy.
When you call to see if either laser is covrred; ask if they (or better yet, a supervisor) can suggest for what can be done for chronic (use an adjective of your choice) nerve pain, that is causing unnecessary stress, interferes with your everyday life, and has greatly reduced your ability to sleep through the night.
