Went pretty well, the doc was funny! They switched me to Norco and I am going to get my tens/ems unit, which I can't wait. I love those machines. lol!
He said I don't have bells palsy I may have injured a tendon or it's arthritis, so they took an x-ray, today it feels fine just a bit sore. Posted on 01/26/09, 05:01 pm |

Good for you Mike, those will definately take away any pain you may experience, except for headaches.
I take oxycontin, and the only difference is mine are slow active, "time release". Yours are fast active. Kathren this is the diffinition of Narco... also known as Dihydrocodeinone, Anexsia, Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Hydroco, Tussionex, Vicoprofen) Hydrocodone is an opioid derived from either of the naturally occurring opiates codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive. Very addictive, but hey sometime we have to do what we have to do. I'm glad he was a nice doctor, they are soo rare in our days. Take care, Mckenzie One day at the time.

TENS/EMS Unit's are for muscle stimulation this tx is making my muscles tighten up and be in pain sometimes, so these can help. Alot of people don't like em, but I love them, they work great on me, I usually use them at my chiropractor's but it will be great to have one at home so I can use anytime.
