Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

@jesfactsmon Hi Hank, Wanted to tell you that I had Scrambler Therapy, here in Illinois. I had 2, 10 time sessions. The first group of 10 gave me significant pain relief for about 3 weeks. Then the pain came back. I then had 10 more sessions, and it did nothing to help. I asked for a reduction in the cost, before I started the second group of 10 treatments, and the cost was cut in half. The man who did my treatments is well known in Scrambler therapy, and people travel to him sometimes, when it has not been successful elsewhere. I met people there, primarily with CRPS, who swore by the treatments. One teenage CRPS patient had significant relief in one foot, but not in the other. Another said she could not walk without it. I have serious peripheral neuropathy in my feet, and I can be in agony sometimes. I wish it had worked consistently for me, but it did not. If you want your wife to try it, you might negotiate a price. Anyway, hope this helps. Sincerely, Lori Renee

It's stories like yours that give me pause Lori. If you are going to go to that much trouble and expense you'd like to at least have some assurance it will be effective. Like you I have read of several people who have sworn by this, but even with that they still need follow up within a couple months or less which would not be terrible if the machine were located near where you live. Unfortunately there is not one near us as far as I know right now. Well for now we'll just keep this in our hip pocket to maybe consider again someday. My condolences to you on your poor experience and lost money invested. It must have been devastating to have 3 weeks of relief and then have to go back to pain city again. One thing, if it's true pain builds character then this forum must be filled with them. 😉
