I have chemo induced neuropathy. Use essential oils as topical treatment, take B Vitamins and prescription Gabapentin. Any suggestions or recommendations on the TENS?
Will a TENS machine help with numbness and tingling of peripheral neuropathy?

I have all the same issues as you and have a personal TENS and my physical therapists and chiropractor also use the therapy. I've never done it on my feet, but I used it on my wrist for a wrist injury. I don't think it would be good for neuropathy as it might begin a flare but I'm not completely certain. I know I wouldn't want to try now with the chemo neuropathy.
