Anyone tried using red light therapy?

Hi all,

I have had cold laser therapy and it worked for me, I also had chemotherapy. I have written about on the forum before. If you have any questions, I will answer with my knowledge, and if not, I will admit, I do not know 😉.

Thank you so much for reply. Can you tell me a little more? What chemo were you given? What symptoms did you have? How much better did you get? How many treatments before you noticed a difference? Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Cold laser works for me -- for my numb ankles/feet that do not suffer from pain. My discovery/research of such option came from a chiropractor in Nashville TN. In VA I found a local chiropractor offering this laser and began weekly treatment. My numbness has been lessened, and now I get the laser now every two weeks + -- with the expectation to further reduce the frequency of treatment.

Another interesting prospective medical option I am going to check is the whether a low dose of gabapentin will enhance sensitivity in the feet. Last week I had hernia surgery and was prescribed, as needed, gabapentin for pain. I only needed the 300 mg pill for several days and switched to ibuprofen. BUT, ironically, while taking the gabapentin, I felt a very dramatic sensitivity improvement in my feet. They felt as if they were "normal" again! But the 300mg made me slightly light-headed. I wonder if a low dosage could help the feet, work in combination with the laser.
