Hi,

decided to give myself a treat to distract me from the looming LP on the 30th and booked in for some reflexology on my feet. A few hours after the treatment I was unable to walk due to shooting electrical shocks up from my ankles to my knee’s and it was impossible to bend my right ankle, I had to dragg my feet and crawl upstairs. Has anybody else had a simular side effect after this time of treatment? just curious.

Hi, I`ve enjoyed reflexology many times and never experienced anything like you have.

That`s a shame, as it can have a really relaxing and soothing effect.

I dont have MS, but an equally disabling sensory condition.

Hopefully you`ll get more replies.
