Hi @auntieoakley ,
The cold laser was painless, the laser is on your skin for I think 15 seconds, it has been two years. I did it twice a week for 4 weeks. I had a huge allergic reaction (I had a very bad day after eating the wrong food), and my system did not recover easily, and redid the laser treatment, I also started the IVig which was its own level of he'll.
Two years later...having more bad days and finally out of my 2cnd boot (I had broke the first, and was in the boot for 6 months), my calves needed love. The shock wave was used to help the residual knots. It was great! My neuropathy went down at least 3 levels. Not the intention but, happiness!
