She got me to this type of therapist, and believe me " IT HURTS" just as bad as the pain you feel now. However..... I am 6 sessions into it, and there is a reduction in the intensity of the pain. So I say, bring on the pain, if that is what it takes to resolve this and get me back to some kind of normal.
I don't know if it can work for you Andy. But there is something to this high teck sports medicine. You did injure being in a sport, so just maybe this is something that would indeed help. Your nerve is injured, and so is mine. Look into it. I didn't really believe it would work, or really what it was all about. I go back Friday with my cry rag, and some kind of really good music,, and welcome the pain. good luck. ginnie
