Heh Linnie, Thanks for your offer and input!

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that the TENS unit was bad. I mean the hot/cold contrast bath. Cold is not a friend of mine and I refused a contrast bath because cold doesn't respond well with me and the pain of it lasts for a lot longer than she thinks it should or will. I did end up telling her that I would try it as a LAST resort.

Just something I noticed about people who have had the contrast baths, got their RSD into remission and then the RSD came back later, for whatever reason, to the same area. It appears that the contrast baths are a one time deal. They work the first round but not the second. Have you found that in your experience or noticed it in the postings here and elsewhere? That might be a research topic for you! LOL! I am just thinking that maybe it works too well at desensitizing the nerves. Who knows but I don't want to be another test subject to find out.

Nice to have you around.
