I've had a lower back issue since I was 18 and now at 77 a lot of degeneration. I've gone to chiros for many years and they kept me going. Now I cannot do manipulations due to a mess from hip replacement which caused Femoral Nerve Damage which I deal with now. My thigh is about 80% numb, dead or very damaged nerves.

I'm back with a new chiro, but would NEVER sign up for so many treatments, etc. She uses laser, ultrasound, activator and stim and works the numb thigh too. As I see it, she does help me somewhat and Medicare does come thru. She charges new medicare patients a fee upfront and then accepts the meager payments from Medicare...and they are meager for all some of these workers do to try to help people in so much distress. I pay $9 per visit to her.

So you did get some good comments and if the nerves can be restored, don't know.

I've mentioned that I had success with Inosine and Sphingolin which took away the burn/tingle on my thigh. I took both for 3 months and so far so good. The burning was there for 5 yrs.

I do know that I often get TOE pain/burn some nights and all on the damaged side of my body. I have to get out of bed and rub my feet/toes and apply some of my topicals to get back to sleep. No burn or pain during the day but comes on while sleeping. Best wishes..
