Electric foot massagers

[Nonswimmer]

Hello,

I have peripheral neuropathy because of a sever allergic reaction to the prescribed medication would any one know if it is advisable to use an electric foot massager with this condition please?

Hello, I hope you won’t mind telling me which medication you have been taking to cause such a reaction. Is it for glaucoma? I have to use several different types of drops for my glaucoma and for quite a while now my lower legs and feet feel very strange. I believe Timolol can have many side effects but don’t know about the other drops. I think I may have peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet, but when I saw a doctor a few months ago, he just took a quick look and more or less poo-pooed the problem. I was not very happy, especially as he thought it might be something called paraesthesia (bit like pins and needles sensation) and prescribed some capisum cream (as in peppers) to apply on my legs. Incidentally the cream was out of stock!! So I never bothered. I often worry the legs and feet problem may be something to do with my heart. I got more sense out my eye consultant than my GP - when I told him about my swollen feet, etc he suggested I try taking B12. I’m afraid I can’t help regarding electric foot massagers, but hopefully someone on here will be able to help. Regards, Gill
