Beets or beet juice.

Like neuropathy?

What type of pain is it?

A buddy sent me a Hypervolt percussion massage gun as someone was handing them out to everyone on his consulting team.

I was going to give it to a friend who does massages but I opened it and tried it on my thigh and rear end muscle and called her and said you are not getting this, sorry.

We got to talking about it and the tool in the pic that looks like a pitchfork she says is for hands and feet. May be worth a try but it's $250 thru amazon.

There are similar but much cheaper alternatives.

Thank you

Gee I don't know, Bob - that device kinda looks more like something for the Missus!

Edit: I've also been dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for awhile, which I'd posted about earlier. Well, I finally up and went to my Doc and got a shot of cortisone yesterday - and have my fingers crossed that this will help.

If it's Peripheral Neuropathy, good luck.

I was diagnosed with PN 15 years ago not related to any injury or metabolic deficiency.
Neurologist concluded that my feet were just worn out from walking, standing while working on concrete floors all my life. I have extremely high arches and didn't wear supportive type shoes over the years. It is almost impossible to walk across the room barefoot, I always have to wear shoes or slippers even on carpeted floors.
Prescribed 5 different Rx's including Neurontin, Meloxiicam and Nortriptiline.
Nothing but horrible side effects! Way worse than the severe pain from the PN.
The only thing that gives good but temporary relief is strong CBD salve with very high THC content.

Maybe, but you could hammer cube steak with that thing.

Whiskey normally works for me.

Old man's foot pain, that is a bit broad, can you be more specific?

If it is gout, steak and a blowjob, my standard recommendation, is out.

My dad suffers from this. His doctor put him on Gabapentin. It’s done wonders.

Good for him!
Neurontin is Gabapentin. I could only stand about 4 days of it.
Pounding head ache, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, BP thru the roof and feet still hurt!

Yeah I’ve heard of people having bad issues with it. So far Pops is tolerating it well and he’s able to sleep at night.
