i have been suffering with foot neuropathy for 2 1/2 years. I also have pundendal nerve issues in the pelvic area. i am using ointment in the area which has helped in the pelvic area. I started physical therapy this week. I was interested in acupuncture but the physician asst. told me they had much success with Micro Vas. It is a machine that pulsates your calves. There are gel pads and wires attached to the pads which are placed on the calves. After the treatment, my feet were burning and cramping. i only had numbness in the feet before this procedure. Has anyone had this treatment or acupuncture for foot neuropathy? Kindly let me know. Thank you.

    i used to have Chyro click my back as nerve pain sciatica Numb foot tingling foot, i had acupuncture at the same time, now stenosis crushing the spinal nerve causes my foot blunting is what they call it,

    now the chyropract sorry dislexia any the chropract was good up to a point, SO £300 privrate MRI OR push your doctor to get you one they generaliy dont and wont MRI AS the show up to much but 2 months down the line from a take the pressure of my spinal nerve and just cut front little lawn on my knees and pain in back and you can guess numb tingly foot, NOW i do have ADHD SO i do go around the houses a bit in saying what i am surposed to say but 😃 I PERSONALY would say MRI BOTTOM of your spinal area bottom disk up three type of thing location of your hips as well so all in one shot type of thing. its nice to know exactly what is doing it as £2000 on chyro and stuff like acupuncture in one year and £300 MRI SOUNDS a cheep way and mathodical aproach now all if NHS WILL send you in all directions bar an MRI BUT i would say 6 months pain and vroom find out why as to be taking pills or jabbing acupuncture pins in when no one can say is a bit like the blind leading the blind,

    if all else fails, i find Amatriptyline at a low dose 20mg for nerve pain works, Amatriptyline are used for anti-depressants but thats like 150mg so they truly take a bit out the tingling of the nerves and sleep but try 10mg as they brain takes a while to get moving first thing of a morning, you dont have to try them but me i have had two cortisons in my shoulder and nerve impindgment there and they work on that as well 😃 cheers lloyd
