- Hi,My mom came with me to the consult today and it went alright. We talked to the NPC for close to 20 minutes. He put in orders to schedule the trial for the SCS, but I have to meet with the behavioral health people first to be evaluated. What...
- Hi guys,First, a quick update. I have officially finished my first week of summer school. Thank goodness its the weekend. I don't think I would have made it through the three hour night class twice a week had it not been for the TENS unit. It...
- Hi,So I called the pain management doctor because I had so much increase in the pain in my neck and head since the procedure on Tuesday. He wrote a script for Hydrocodone with just enough to last for four days or so. I don't normally take this...
- Hi Guys,I know the day of the procedure you guys suggested not to use my TENS unit for the pain that the thermocoagulation caused. I am having a really bad headache right now and my neck is stiff and is causing radiating pain into my shoulder. My...
- Hi, I know this is about chronic pain here and I think this question still applies to chronic pain and my struggles with it. If it is off topic, I'm sorry. I greatly respect the opinions of all you guys and I need help.My primary care doctor isn't...
- I am having a lot of pain from the nerve block they did this morning and I'm not sure if it is best to use heat or ice to help with the pain. I can't for the life of me remember the situations that mean cold is better to use or heat. Any advice...
- I had a second Radio Frequency Thermocoagulation this morning. They burned the nerves at four levels in my neck. I had the right side done at the beginning of this month and they did the left side today. I was feeling pretty well until 15 minutes...
- Hey Guys,I am new to this support group. I don't have a ton of memory on my phone (it's an old android phone), so particularly large apps won't work. I really need a better way to keep track of everything I am doing. I vary exercise wise; I go on...
- I am having such a hard time getting the dang electrodes for the TENS unit into the right place. I live alone and I feel like a contortionist trying to reach the back of my neck and putting the other two on my low/mid back. I am also freaking...
- Hi,My main form of exercise is taking long walks. My back starts hurting pretty quickly during the walks so I am curious if using my TENS unit while I am walking is ok to do. I think it would be, but I'd really appreciate some input.Thank you,Megan
- Hi,I picked up my TENS unit yesterday and used it for one 90 minute period. They told me a max of 90 minutes at a time, but I don't know if I can use it for 90 minutes more than once. For instance, I'm hurting really badly right now and would like...
- Hi Guys,I met with my active release provider and he said that he's been talking with my pain management doctor about implanting a spinal cord stimulator. He said he thought I'd be a good candidate. I am going today to get set up with a portable...
- Hi,I posted about this in the anxiety group, but as I now think it's from the Savella, I wanted to get your guys' opinion. I started Savella on Tuesday. I am going up slower than the sample pack said as I was told the side effects can be bad. I...
- Hi,For the past several days I have felt like I can't breathe. Intellectually I know I am breathing as I'm not dead or passed out. But I keep getting trapped in a cycle in my head that I am not inhaling enough oxygen. What irritates me is that my...
- Hi Guys,I have been struggling with a low grade fever for over three months. Today it's gotten as high as 100.4 which doesn't sound like much of a fever, but as my normal temperature is only 97.5 it is high for me. My therapist has been helping...
