Do it yourself treatment/physical therapy for neuropathy in

Post a new topicby ElliottShults on Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:00 pm

Hi My name is Elliott Shults and I'm a diabetic and I have a friend that is also a diabetic. My friend is only 22 years old and she can't walk sometimes because of the pain. I am a pretty healthy guy with diabetes and I am quite active. I am a former world champion weightlifter and now participate in amatuer kickboxing. So my friend is a bit desperate and came to me for help, she asked me to help her with a workout routine that could help her improve her neuropathy and maybe even reverse its effects. So I came her to learn more about it and if there is any type of specific exercises that could help. I myself dont know anything about it, so any input would help. She has no insurance so I'm looking for any tips, any kind of over the counter meds, physical therapy or exercises. I've taken on helping her as my own responsibility so even if exercising doesnt help I'm looking for any info that would help reverse the process, losing my vision and/or any limbs is a very real fear that I deal with everyday and I do not want to see anyone else suffer through it. Thank you in advance and again ANY input is greatly appreciated.
