Makes sense when you put it that way. Also sounds like the Anodyne therapy is probably contributing to it too. I asked the pt one time if it could be a reason for the increased swelling and she made me think it had to be somehting else...but then again, I'm confused on whether or not this is really helping me and now they've offered to continue it after my 12 wks are up but I told them I'd need to consider a few things. I did try to talk to dr's nurse to get the results but she is on vacation like he is. sigh Guess I'll just wait... I have a water pill in with my hbp meds but obviously it is not enough. Will ask about changing water pill amt when I go back to gp next week for checkup to get bp and choles. meds refills.

Dahlek, as always, y'all provide links that surpass my poor basic google skills. Thanks!

What is tens?
