Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
I posted this on the Fibro board too, but I thought I would see if anyone here has any input - thanks in advance to those who do!
I am looking at this system, which I can get reimbursed for thru my medical savings account!
Doctor Life LX7 Air Compression Therapy Leg & Foot Massager (Complete Set)
My leg hurts so bad, even with all the meds I take and all the things I do to alleviate it - patches gel, heat, elevating, stretching, massaging hope somebody has experience with this system, I can afford it (barely) but I don't want to throw money away!
My left foot/ankle keeps getting swollen or no reason, likely the MPS? And my right leg has been killing me for weeks now! The Gapapentin has made it so that I don't hurt everywhere from the waist down, but my knee and feet are in constant pain.
I am going in on Friday for my first every trigger point injections - starting with the right knee and right forearm if we have time for two locations. I'm really really hoping for some relief! BTW, this specific pain is from myofascial pain syndrome - I have tons of knots just under the skin. They cover the top of my forearm and about 30% of my right leg - not fun! I have them in the arches of my feet too, but I apparently can't have her just give me injections everywhere the first time out.

seems there are 2 ppl who have left reviews and are willing to answer questions about the system, in the feedback/review area
I hope this helps for me it remind me of those hospital compression things for blood clots..I personally not a fan but it could be helpful, if money is part of reason to hold back, perhaps see if the shots help you 1st
good luck

My father can tolerate for short periods on the lowest settings. He does feel more " energized " whatever that means.
My Mother has restless leg, swelling and pain. She too uses it on the lowest settings and has diminished the pain/swelling. They did not get theirs on Amazon.
Go slow and be patient is my Father's advice.
Good luck!

I'm getting nervous about my first ever trigger point injections this week, hoping they help and that she can cover a lot of area with them for me.
I did see the reviews on Amazon, thanks! I also came across several web forums where pro and semi pro athletes were talking about these systems. Apparently they use a much spender version of this system to help recover faster from workouts!
Joanne - glad it works for your parents - I love the idea of being more energized! I have fibro and the fatigue sucks. I can see how it might burst energy since it promotes better blood circulation. The descriptions I was reading on this system said that for people who are immobile it actually simulates the effects of exercise and can even reduce cellulite and tummy fat!!! Triple bonus LOL!
Darn sorry for your pain and hope the trigger point injections along with the air compressor brings you some much needed relief.
Much support,
Toni
