I did physical therapy in November-December 2005 using the Anodyne system and other exercises for balance. The Anodyne therapy did work for me. I ordered a home unit when I finished with PT on the recommendation of the therapist and with help from them, was approved by my insurance company. I received the unit the first week in January 2006 and used it faithfully every day for three months (according to directions received with unit). I then went to 2-3 times a week. I continue to use it at least 3 times a week as it continues to give me relief, especially when I have been on my feet a lot during the day.

I have been on Lyrica since April 2006 (150mg twice a day) and Tramadol for pain. With this combination, I am relatively comfortable most of the time.
