Anyone tried using red light therapy?

Finally after 2 years of complaining about my feet feeling numb to my Cardiologist and PCP (to no avail) I went to a Chiropractor that advertised help with neuropathy. He did several tests and the the last one he did was like being tasered, but I felt NOTHING on my legs, so he tested my forearm and I yelped "ouch". The he tells me "this is more serious than I thought". He would not tell me anything and insisted the next appointment my adult children be there or on the phone. I'm scared he is thinking amputation. What are your thoughts, anyone, I'm very worried.

I have similar symptoms like you, my feet are so numb can’t feel them, my legs are also numb and the numbness is now in my right hand.
I’m unable to hold certain things with it, and I’m learning to eat with my left hand.
Whole thing stinks,and I e been dealing with it for a few years now.
Whole thing started gradually about 10-11 yrs ago, and has progressed slowly.
No one is able to help me, and I’ve been on all the usual meds,that are prescribed by the docs.

I doubt he is going to tell thete is something more serious than your pcp or cardiologist has told you. However, he may be telling you how serious it is because he is planning on trying to sell you some SERIOUSLY expensive treatment and maybe he thinks your family members will try to encourage you to spend the money. I might be wrong and either way i am sorry to hear he would try to worry you so much. Chiropractors don't amputate.

Hello gma9, I don't Blame you at all! I've never really had faith them, Chiropractors. They are good for certain things but severe cases for Neuropathy?????? He should NEVER have told that and scare the heck out of you! Your better of with a Neurologist and Rheumatologist if you don't have one already? Wish you the best!
