Neuropathy- laser treatment

Walking was one of my favorite pastime.

About 4 years ago, I started to feel some pain while walking. My doctor felt this might be due to my intake of lipitor, a staten medicine. We then changed medicine several times and I felt some improvements but…after some time, some type of leg pain came back.

A different doctor sent me to a neurologist who tested my legs and arms with electric needles. He the diagnosed me as having neurapathy [neuropathy], a very slow deterioating loss of muscles in my legs and arms. He also declared this to be “inherited” and incurable.

I then checked with relatives and no one knew of anybody in the family of having or having suffered from this maladie.

A chiropractor who previously straighten out my back, offered to help with laser treatments. According to him, this type of treatments are being used in Europe for about 10 years and in the US for three years.

I have now started with this laser treatment. This seems to have made some progress but not enough for me to make a jugement.

I there anybody out there who is or has used laser treatments to heal neurapathy, please send your comments.

Thank you,

Frank
