My average pain is about a 7-8....right now it's off the scale. I called the doctor's office and they told me to take some Ibuprofen and call them back tomorrow. The therapist that I had been seeing previously was just doing ultrasound, heat & electrical stimulation which at least brought the pain level down to maybe a 6 for an hour or so. The doctor decided last week that this wasn't enough therapy for me so he changed the therapist I go to.
