Need opinion. W ould you buy this?

My sister h a s debilitating neuropathy in her feet.She can' b arely walk. There is a massager for neuropathic feet that sends electrical signals up the feet to produce blood flow..thus bringing oxygen to the dying nerves. This particular product is 100 bucks and got MANY good reviews on FB. However on another page on FB several people said do not buy...it breaks down and they don't refund as they said.
There are other companies that Sell it but for just 50 bucks. They also had a mix of good reviews but again many said it also broke in a month. My gut is to not buy it a at all because of the fact it doesn't function after a certain time. But my sister is DESPERATE for anything and there were many many positive reviews for the $100 one...(its just that the same type product costs 50 elsewhere). I'm really torn. She is in severe torture . On a positive note we are settling up a Gofund soon so she can try Laser light therapy soon in a doctor's office. But that may be a couple weeks away or more. Would you order product anyways?

I don't see why you wouldn't.

I'd do some more shopping first though, check the best reviews, durability, deals, warranties, common issues.

The more relief they get in their feet, the more active they can be, which will hopefully promote more blood flow.

Do they have compression socks?

@SnailTeeth Ty snail. They all apparently stop working after a month or two. With no refund. But I guess we could try and hope for the best since there were many good reviews too. She is going to ask her doctor for compression socks.

@Coralmist You can even just get some compression socks off Amazon for now, and get prescription ones later. The non-prescription ones probably won't be as tight as the prescription ones. Prescription compression socks are often tighter.
The socks would probably bring a lot of relief. Maybe you could start there, and then assess the need for another machine.
Be sure to remove them before bed.
