I was diagnosed with PN 3 months ago and I’m nearly going out of my mind with the burning, numbness and tingling sensation. The pain is relentless and debilitating. I’m going to try your routine, please pray for me.

Just reading all these comments shows how much people are suffering. Wow, I’m praying for you all. I get sharp pins and needles pain and numbness on left thigh when I get up each day but it goes away for the most part when I stay active throughout the day. I will even do like 50 continuous squats throughout the day to pump thigh muscles and it works.

In 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. For the past four years life has been very challenging, being only 22, not settled in a place for more than 5 months at a time, living with abusive family and not being able to afford medical for my condition. I have been living insulin free for over a year, but complications kicked in, i struggle to walk, i fall when i try, i cannot jump or lift heavy things or i fall. My legs are dying fast. I tried these exercises this morning and gave it about two hours and tried again, the results are very very amazing. It did not fix the problem but it gave me the ability to stretch and walk around for a bit without falling. I feel the more i do this, the better it is going to get! Thank you for teaching me something that 8 Specialists ive been seeing these last 4 years wasnt able to teach me. Its awfully sad how the medical business now days is more about the money than it is about the Patient.

I started doing these activities only five days ago, and I am amazed by the huge positive effect that it has caused on my feet. More than 80% of the tingling and burning sensations that I used to feel, has gone. Thank you Dr Jo.

This genuinely worked !! I’ve had tingling and extreme pain for two days. It started escalating from my feet to my whole legs and after doing those stretches the tingling feeling has gone !! Highly recommend!!!

It somewhat comforts me to know I am not alone with my chronic pain . I was diagnosed with M.S 30 years ago , and 5 years ago with neuropathy and trigeminal neuralgia . I should be in a wheel chair by now , but what helped me to stay on my feel and still be able to walk ( not very good but walking) is doing inner work and healing traumas and learning to connect with myself . I still have a lot of pain , and even though it’s also physical , there is always an emotional and mental connection to every physical condition . So my work is not done , but I have seen improvement throughout the years as a result of my spiritual and inner work . I know it works because I also work with others for 30 years . So I hope someone will take something from what I wrote and it helps that person ❤️

OMG - I used to be super athletic , playing soccer, basketball, biking, softball but PN has stopped from enjoying that and these exercises are exactly what I need to start doing to get back a sense of balance. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much Dr.Jo. I was having pin and needle pain on my left side(arms, legs and till my toe) I started this exercise following your videos and instructions, now I feel relief from my pain. No words to express my words of thanks to you. God bless you.

holy wow! thank you so much!!! i pain isnt gone, but its so much less already. you have made my life better. please know that!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This exercise already took my pain away. I hope it keeps working

My legs are numb and tired, every move feels wrong but after following this video the discomfort has gone, thank you dr joe!

My PN has come on very rapidly. I’ve been sort of being treated for it. By that, I mean I’ve seen my doctor several times over the past 9 months and finally got a referral to a specialist as we can’t seem to work out what is causing it to continue to get worse. These stretches have given me the best relief I’ve had in all that time. So simple and easy, but the returns are a godsend. Thank you for this. There are so many of us living with this and we all know how life altering it is both mentally and physically. It certainly didn’t help my mental state as I was staying pretty tightly isolated during this pandemic. That’s an awful lot of time to be alone with nothing, but a wall of constant pain. I had my wonderful family with me on our bubble and they’ve been very patient and understanding, but you still feel very alone in that pain. I wish everyone who finds this the very best of luck. Hopefully, a cure can be found and we won’t just be in mitigation mode. Again, thank you very much for these stretches.

Not only was the nerve pain painful, but probably worse was the stress it caused me. I of course googled every linked disease, EVEN THOUGH I suspected the issue was stemming from my back and down my legs. Stretching made ALL the difference in the world! Thanks for the video, that redirected me, into the direction I knew. Feels great to not have the pain! If I sense it coming on I just take time to stretch. Usually it first hurts in my left foot, so I stretch the right side of my back and hip! 😁

Yes Excersize helps. The more I walk my Service K 9 during the day the less pain I have especially at night. That is when the pains in my feet are the worse. Keep moving step by step. I have to keep something that is comfortable on my feet at all times other wise the pain increases. Wear something on feet even when in bed; keeps pains undercontrol. I don't take pain meds and won't do pain meds.

My case is absolutely excruciating. Exercises like this, and I’ve done them before, seem to help the body as a whole, but in the affected areas, it causes a great deal of lingering pain. I go to physical therapy for the expressed purpose of avoiding foot amputation. I’m not diabetic, I’m idiopathic. My veins are starting to pop out and give me another excruciating symptom. Watching for circulation problems and discoloration on and by the veins. The pain progresses over the years. I’ve had it for 12. I wish everyone the best. Keep exercising but listen to your body and don’t overdo it, that has consequences. And always keep in mind that exercising in the pool works, especially for severe cases like mine. Keep up the good work, doc. The neuropathy community needs help! Bruce

My feet legs have been burning and painful especially at night but during this heat wave during the day. I tried some of your exercises in the middle of the night and got such relief that I was able to fall asleep again without pain. Many thanks.

Wow! More exercises that directly affect me and my health issues. It's amazing that since I subscribed, I have received more helpful information from you than I ever did from my MD. He simply diagnosed my neuropathy and sent me on my way. All he ever wanted to do was give me prescriptions, never any therapy which is why I stopped going to see him 4 years ago. Thank you for improving my life.

I'm suffering from peripheral neuropathy as a result of overdosed chemotherapy, it's so serve that it got me scared. But I pray God move through these exercises to bring relief. Thank you
