I have the Anodyne Therapy home unit. I used it for about three months,
three times a week. It has been approved by the FDA. I finally stopped the
treatments, because I couldn't see much improvement. I guess I should
continue in the event it could keep the neurpothy from spreading to my legs.
As anyone used Anodyne Therapy and what were the results. Will appreciate
any input.

I did physical therapy in November-December 2005 using the Anodyne system. This therapy did work for me. I ordered a home unit when I finished with PT on the recommendation of the therapist and with help from them, was approved by my insurance company. 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 at one time daily.

Anodyne therapy seems to work best with those who have diabetic neuropathy.

I cannot walk for any distance without my walker. I have taken four falls
so don't want any chances of breaking a hip. Did the Anodyne Therapy help
with the numbness and balance? That is my big problem. As for pain, I feel
the "pins and needles" but I am not in real pain. I feel like my toes are turning under when I walk. So with the "pins & needles and feeling like I am turning my feet like a claw, I think I will resume the Anodyne Therapy.

Many thanks for your replies!
