Can anyone suggest a good foot massager for Feet Peripheral Neuropathy ? Are they worthwhile purchasing . See Ian Botham advertises one but it is quite expensive Looking forward to replies

What about a cheap foot-spa they have massage features and probably a lot cheaper than the Ian Botham one. Always see lots of them at car boots sales cheap x

Be sure to be very careful soaking your feet in hot water if you have neuropathy.
Not feeling how hot the water is because of the neuropathy can lead to serious burns, and soaking for an extended time softens the skin. I'm not sure but I guess it's easier to damage a foot when the skin is still soft from soaking.

They are not recommended for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, if I was you I would avoid them, @Lainie71 mentions they see lots of them at car boots cheap - ask yourself why that is?

We got rid of my mother's foot spa as they aren't good if you've lost sensation.

I did not go for a foot spa, but I brought a vibration plate, it does not use water, but vibrates your feet very quickly, and helps with the pain, plus a good massage for your feet. It is also good for blood circulation. Just search "Vibration Plate" on Amazon and there is quite a variety. I would name the one I use, but I am not sure about the rules of recommending a product yet on this forum.

Thanks.

It's only a problem if you join in order to recommend or sell something or give a link to something that gains you benefit if someone goes to it.

You should also be able to post links now (very new members cannot).
(edit for spelling mistake)

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for that clarification.

I do not need to give a link. it's easy enough to find on Amazon, plus I assure you I have nothing personally to gain by suggesting the brand, only that it works for me, with that said, I brought a "LifePro" Vibration Plate with remote control, do some research it is all positive stuff, and it seems to help with my foot neuropathy. I brought it from the US version of Amazon, but I am sure they sell it on the UK version too, I say that as the OP mentions Ian Botham.

Thanks.

Sorry had no idea that is probably the reason there are so many going cheap

No problem, and your suggestion resulted in useful information being shared on the thread too.
