Thanks guys! I am looking forward to the nice summer, I have a pool and love water exercise. I keep the arms moving and stretching at home, plus @ PT. I had a tens unit back in 1996 for my back from a car accident. I am sure they are different now and I am sure it would be a different feeling with nerves rather than muscles (car accident). I am willing to try new things, just not up for those darn injections. Those injections make me sleep for the rest of the day after getting them, not to mention the bruise on my neck and swelling! Has there been any long term study on the effect of that anisthetic being put in our bodies endlessly?

As far as the Topomax, i am willing to try, even if for a little relief. To me it is better than taking narcotic med's. I do not take them unless absolutely have to!!!

any more input would be great!!
