Angelina, I just remembered- the doctor that diagnosed me ordered a tens unit for me along with starting me in pt the next day. I do feel that played a part in my recovery and the insurance paid for it as well as replacement leads. Tens years later, I no longer need it, but it did help me when I was so sensitive.
Also, I feel epsom salt baths have been helpful in reducing swelling. I still use that- can buy larger quantities at costco. loretta
