Has anyone tried a TENS machine for peripheral neuropathy pain in feet and lower legs
 
A TENS machine will work with any neuropathy. You will need a two channel machine for each leg, or just take turns with one machine as trial. I've used a TENS machine for all sorts of pain - arthritic, muscle pain, and i know people who have used it for the pain of diabetic neuropathy.

Doesn't work for everyone, but most folk feel a benefit. No side effects, unlike tablets.
