Neck Pain from pinched nerve

Pain and Inflammation
#1

My wife and I are so new that we haven’t actually received the M1 yet, its being delivered within the next 3 to 4 hours.
My wife had surgery many years ago to fuse I think it was 3 vertebra together in her neck.
She didn’t have much problem with this for at least 10 years but the past year or so has had horrible pain, the last and worst bout this past week.

Opioids and every other ointment and PT treatment has done virtually nothing, so here we are.
I presume that soon as it comes in I should leave it at default on Omni8 at a 9 to 10 intensity and place the coils right over where the pinched nerve is, it looks a bit like a curvy womans waist on the xrays.
But should the coils be placed side by side vertically, or placed one on top of the other with non bumpy side towards skin and the bumpy sides touching each other?
I have my own problems that i will discuss later.

My wife is 72 and I am 67

I taped coils to her spine last night for about 5 hours Omni 8 at level 9 intensity.

No change noted.

I have had a problem with my left foot for about 4 years that I believe is because my B-12 level was down to 64 and no idea how long it was so low because in 63 years of regular checkups and blood test never once checked for B-12.
Only after I told her that my wife and I had just gone Plant Based Diet cold tofurkey 5 days earlier did she finally check my B-12. I was eating my weight in B-12 rich foods forever but was clearly not absorbing it.
Thankfully we went plant based when we did or I may have died.
Last check on B-12 I was at 795 now that I am taking 4000mcg B-12 and 20mg Intrinsic Factor daily.
Anyway I believe this caused nerve damage in my foot which is causing a sensation similar to Mortons Neuroma.

So, I put the coils on this foot for about 8 plus hours as I slept last night, one on top of foot one on bottom smooth side facing skin tucked into sock.

No change noted.

Once awake I took both coils put one on top of the other bumpy side facing each other and put smooth side on my jaw, just placed on pillow and laid on it.
Did this about 45 minutes at least.

I actually think I am feeling some relief from that, I can clinch my teeth hard with no sensitivity.
Time will tell on that.

She is using the M1 right now, I taped coils to her spine vertically and turned up intensity to 10.
Shes been doing that about 2 hours and will probably stay on for at least 5 hours, maybe 10 hours I hope.
Then I will put back on my foot over night.

Any suggestions are welcome

Been doing all the same except after visiting wife’s doctor yesterday I’ve changed the placement of her coils which BTW are difficult to place on neck.

Been doing mine the same about 9 hours a day on foot.

Still Omni 8 and level 10 intensity.

At this point so far I can’t say as that either of us are feeling any noticeable difference.

Apparently I am just talking to myself here but I am here to plug in data points.

May try something different like C5, or A9 or Schumann 4 soon.

Really want this to work, we are both using it 9 to 10 hours a day.

Hello, regarding your neuropathy, my understanding is that PEMF therapy can trigger measurable nerve regrowth/healing within days to weeks, but significant functional improvements may require months of treatment. Results also vary depending on how long nerve dysfunction has been present. I will share that it’s taken many months to see clear improvement in my family member’s nerve issues. Stick with it, nerves heal slowly!

Thank you for the response Wendy.

Yes, I was pretty sure this was going to take some time.
On your family members what protocol did they use? Omni 8 or something different?
When they started to heal what did it feel like? As in was it just very gradual or all of a sudden it was like whoa I really feel a difference today.

I’ve had this for about 5 years

We have the B5. Our issue was a peripheral neuropathy present x 1 year. Symptoms were burning/tingling in arms and legs, most pronounced in feet and hands. Used Omni protocol which frequently triggered a prompt “cooling” sensation (likely improved blood flow) as well as fixed 14 hz x 30-60 minutes (and some overnight sessions). Not sure why 14 hz was effective, this was trial and error. Started to see resolution of tingling in upper arms/legs after ~6 months. Now symptoms just in feet/hands after 10 months of use. We also treated the underlying condition triggering the neuropathy (which is key). Overall quite pleased with results as neurology warned us it takes a long time to heal nerves.

My case may be different from yours. I’m hoping you’ve been able to see a podiatrist or neurologist for a diagnosis? That way you can specifically research PEMF for that condition or even reach back out to the community again.

Nerve pain is rough, best of luck!!

Thanks again for wonderful response.

We have the M1 and only been using 4 to 5 days so totally unfamiliar with it still.

Went to a podiatrist but they basically just agreed with “my” diagnosis which I initially thought it was Mortons Neuroma.
And it still might be, the cause I am almost certain was B-12 deficiency which messed up the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve.

No matter the exact diagnosis, it has to be nerve related.
The cause has been taken care of, brought my B-12 level from 64 up to 795.

I am going to continue doing 8 to 10 hour treatments all night.

Been continuing nightly sessions Omni 8 Intensity 9 on my foot.
Usually (before I started the PEMF) in the morning before I get out of bed, before my foot touches the floor it feels almost normal.
Its the best it feels all day.
Now the past few days my foot actually feels almost like Ive been walking on it when I take off the M1 coils.
I don’t see this as a bad thing as it shows the PEMF is doing “something”, don’t know what exactly but doing something.
I am hoping its opening up blood vessels and repairing the sheath around the nerve.
So far I can not say thats the case
