Did tDCS in the past with success but have not gotten much benefit this time around (minimal and harder to do with a kid in the house). TENS hasn't helped much now that the pain is over a larger area. I am just SO limited in my daily activity and feel I have run out of options to increase my FUNCTION...which is my main goal. It's a newer treatment...so I have no doubt it will become more accessible...I just, quite frankly, don't want to wait until it is the standard of care while in the mean time I struggle just to get through each and every day...so frustrating.
