A friend of mine has peripheral Neuropathy and has bought a machine which sends electrical impulses through the feet and legs. she knows there is no cure for P.N, but was hoping, along with walking and other exercise, that this would stimulate the nerves thus helping her to stay mobile for longer.
Anyway she was talking to her GP and he said it could destroy small nerves and told her to throw it away. She spent nearly £100 on it and it is advertised everywhere so she is in a quandary. Can any Mumsnetters who are doctors give us any advice.
