We bought this OSITO EMS/EPT/TENS kick pedal for my 85 year old mother who suffers from foot and ankle neuropathy. In the last 5 years she has lost a lot of feeling in her ankles and feet and her feet hurt when she goes to bed. She often cannot sleep because of the pain. We haven't found any treatment other than topical nerve blocks to help, but she has to repeat them frequently throughout the night and they don't completely relieve the pain. Enter the OSITO leg machine! Although it took her a little time to "pick up" a working shelf, she has found that using the machine right before bed does not cause her night pains and helps her fall asleep. instantly. Hallelujah! She has found her ideal settings: For two 25-minute sessions in the evening, she sets the MODE to 25 (according to the booklet, best for neuropathy), the SALT intensity to 30 (going to 99) and the BODY intensity to 90 (going down Using the TENS gel pads on the ankles - see below for more on how to use TENS). Initially, she increased the intensity of SOLE too much and felt some discomfort in the groin area. But after going downstairs and noticing how she was feeling and the results she was getting, she called him. She also experimented with just using TENS pads, but found that using the SOLE function (feet on the device) was essential. TENS alone didn't give her any relief which is why we're so glad we invested in this OSITO trainer to help her get the most out of her feet and ankles! Of course, when it comes to intensity, everyone will find different levels that suit them. , but at the age of 85 she found the ideal conditions for pain relief. All this in less than four weeks! The upside for my husband and I is that due to COVID we weren't at her house to help her with the device and she didn't need any help. I chose the "modernized" OSITO device because it was more intense for neuropathy and the device seemed like it would be easier to work with (which was key). My mom figured it out herself! He says that the device is very strong and of high quality. The handle makes it easy for her to store it under the table and then pull it out when she uses it. There is a remote control but she doesn't need it. She simply leans forward and presses three buttons to adjust the settings. She says the control panel display lights up and is very easy to navigate. My mom's shoe size is 9.5 and the foot area is perfect for her. RE: TENS, my mom has been using the same TENS gel pads for 3 weeks and suggests changing them (replacing new ones) every month. We will order replacement pads to keep it working after the second month. There are four TENS pads in total and the device allows you to use two at the same time. However, my mom read that if you use both TENS at the same time, they must be on the same "limb", so she decided on TWO 25 minute sessions to get 25 minutes of TENS per ankle. She thinks she could split a 25 minute session into 12-13 minutes of TENS for each ankle, but she reads or watches TV in the evening before bed so it's easy for her to do an extra session. Although the timer is set for 25 minutes, the manual states that the machine can be used longer without warning restrictions. We finally chose this particular seller because they offered a 30-day free trial and a two-year warranty. Most other sellers don't. And I emailed the seller with questions and they were very responsive. SUPER happy with the OSITO device and the customer service from this seller.
