Diagnosed with idiopathic PN. I have numbness, cold and pain in feet, lower legs, hands and forearms. Neurologist said there is no effective treatment but that some have had some success controlling pain with acupuncture but no one has had any luck with a chiropractor. I found acupuncture to be very relaxing, but didn't help with PN. I read about relief for PN in a local Pennysaver ad type newspaper. I went and spoke with a chirporactor at a local wellness center. When he explained the process to me it sounded like a sales job for something that didn't sound medically possible. He then suggested I talk to patient currently being treated for PN on a Sanexas. Her story sounded too good to be true. Her initial symptoms sounded like mine only worse. However, she was now doing much better and explained her newfound ability to feel her feet and walk comfortably. The chiropractor told me medicare now covered the treatment and explained their high success rate for people who aren't too far advanced with their PN. I was skeptical but in today's world, my experience is that too many doctors are only following the advice they are allowed to dispense per the orders of their hospital owners group. I agreed to try the Sanexas treatment. My results have far exceeded any gains I would have thought to be possible. My numbness almost disappeared. Fast forward three months and some of my numbness has returned. Medicare pays for 20 treatments per year so I can return next calendar year and have 20 more treatments. If I decide I need/want more than I can pay out of pocket for it. For me, it's been a rare victory against a medical problem where I was told there was no treatment.
