Once you did the therapy and it worked, did it stay? What an amazing thing if it did! I'm going to try it! Thanks, Sal...as always!

I regularly wear holes in the bottom of my right sock so at least if I were to get it I would save on having to buy new socks, right??!! I've probably told you before but I'm numb inside from the chest down and my skin on the right side is hypersensitive but it is much weaker than the left The left side has no temperature sensation except some up around my torso and now a bit around my butt cheek (new!). It's still not like normal but hey! we'll take anything, right?? Thanks again, Kevin! I'll keep you posted.

I sure hope it helps you! I've never tried it, and I'm not sure it would help me because I've never been told I have foot drop, but I do have weakness and numbness in the legs and feet. I'm excited and hopeful for you!
