I am going tomorrow to try Bioness L300go. Has anyone else tried this? From what I have seen it what do you want to for things for me.

I haven't needed anything like that yet, but I sure do hope it helps you significantly.

Thank you. Me too. I’m so tired of falling, tripping, etc.

Will you be so kind as to let us know how it worked for you?

Sure. After I go tomorrow. I can walk, but have foot drop.

It was great. I could walk without stumbling, climb stairs like an adult not a toddler😬. I should have on within a month. Praise God is all I can say. I’m very grateful I can get it.

Thank you so much. I was not ever unable to walk. I always had to walk gingerly. I would fall often. So blessed to be able to get the device.

I tried one last summer. I don't need that yet. I've got a NMES that I use on my muscles and it helps. It's like a TENS unit but with a bigger zap and more programs. The Bioness is a functional neuromuscular electrical stimulator. I met with the rep and tried it just to see how it worked because my walking has slowly gotten worse the last 4 years, though I don't need it at this time. But I'm glad to know it's available if the time comes. Glad it worked for you. I know you're excited to get one. Anything that can help us keep walking!

Thank you. I think it feels like a tens unit. It does not matter. I’m tired of hobbling, and other things😬.

Hi Doriana, I have tried it and it does work. One thing to remember is don’t put moisturiser on your leg where the transmitter pads are as the current won’t work as well. I don’t have it as I couldn’t afford it, it was £8000 here in the uk, so I have the Turbomed, which just fits on most shoes. Blessings Jimeka. I hope it works for you.

Thank you. It’s $5500 here. This is the new one L300go. You do not have to wear shoes. Thank you for the info.

They have certain discounts. Call Bioness. Thank you for the wish of luck. I know Bioness offers 2 year no interest.

I have tried it and it did work but I just had it on for about 20 minuets. What it does it gives you a shock on the nerves in the area where it is placed. Back then I was able to get up stairs not that easy but it did help. The only problem was the cost I didn’t have $5,000 dollars if I had it I probably would have gotten it.

When you go and try it out please do everything you need to do. Such as going upstairs and down stairs. Of course walking 🚶‍♀️. Good luck to you.

Of course I did stairs, without doing it like a toddler😊

You should call Bioness. There are funding options. I’m surprised the sales person didn’t tell you that.

I have to let you know I tried the Bioness over 8 years ago so financial insurance must have changed since then. Thank you for your information.

You have to keep us informed. The cost is not a concern if it works (IMHO)

Good luck!

It worked very well. My doc is out all week and need to do some paperwork. I’m still working on funding. I’m quite sure it will be fine.

I have it and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I had the old one as well. I like the fact with the new one you don’t need shoes.

Doriana in reply to rjoneslaw

Me too. I’m a beach person, anything that is toe closed would not work for me. I tried the old one too, but I did not need it yet. I really need it now🙄

What is a Bioness L300go? From the comments I assume that it is some kind of walking device. I don't need it yet, but it could be in my future...the farther out in the future... the better...

Doriana in reply to Peruzzot

Yes, for foot drop. It’s very hi-tech. It help me immensely. You can look on you tube.
