I received the unit the first week in January 2006 and used it faithfully every day for three months (according to directions received with unit). I then went to 2-3 times a week (which I still do). The pain in my feet has greatly diminished and before I started using the system, my legs were weak and I could not stand for very long. My feet hurt to walk on them, limiting my ability to enjoy my life after retirement. Now, I can be on my feet for hours at a time and walk more than a mile daily.

The cost was $2,999 and my insurance that I had at that time paid $1,999 leaving me paying $1,000. Even now almost 3+ years later I do not regret getting this unit.
What type of PN do you have? Diabetic or some other form?

Mine is currently labeled "idiopathic", but I haven't given up trying to find the real cause.

I'm curious if anyone has used Anodyne treatments successfully with idiopathic PN.

Thanks,

Ed
