This is a very helpful graphic showing the body systems in 3D

And this is the nerves from the spine to the foot.

The little side marker at the bottom rotates in 360 degrees to show the nerves. This is very helpful for placement of Lidoderm patches, or magnets. Both are best used where nerves join in a branch on the way to the spine. (not at the endpoints where you sense the pain).

This is great mrsD! I was always confused about what you meant when you were talking about how to place those patches, but now it looks like if I want relief for my feet, behind my knees might be the location. Is that right?

Well, I use them behind the knees too. Just above the bend.

1/2 patch is enough for me. Saves you $$ too.

I just found using that 3D map, a great spot for my feet:

Seems the sacral plexus is working against me. (my tailbone is bothering me lately) . I put a large magnet over that spot 2 nights ago and my feet stopped hurting (esp my left ankle)! I used it for about an hour. Last night I stuck it on with hubby's help and it worked like a charm. (I took it off to come to the computer at 3am.)

Using the big magnets, strong ones, you don't even have to wear them all day it seems.

For people with targeted pain, magnets remain an option. Those with overall burning etc... I don't think they will work.

and what can help for the numbness?

I just came across this site by accident whilst search for something else (once again! ) This is getting to be a habit...

I've never seen an educational/Informational site quite like this one - aimed at students & clinicians - outstanding and very well done.

Neurology in Clinical Practice: An Algorithmic Approach

Oddly, the page I found that brought me to the site is not listed in its content, which makes me wonder what other gems may be hidden away like "Easter Eggs"!

Myelin Sheath of Peripheral Nerves in Mice Is Regenerated With Magnetic Fields

Help! I was looking for the article about small fiber neuropathy (I have it) at the **site and cannot find it. I am desperate for more information about SNF and all I can find on some site are people with it, but not how it is being treated successfully. I am ESPECIALLY interested to find any material related to fibromyalgia and SFN. I have found articles that say some small studies have found that people with FMS also have SFN. But I am wondering if SFN can develop or even cause FMS to begin. Thanks for any help.
