[QUOTE=MelodyL;642792]Ice??? I have never used ice in my life on my back. I hate the cold, I hate ice. You mean heat won't help? (maybe that's why I am still in pain).

Good Lord, the very thought of putting anything cold on my side is unthinkable. but I'll try.

Because I listen to everything you say.
Mrs. D. did you see my latest post on UTI's on the diabetes forum.

I'd love your input on that one.

Thanks much

Hi Mel,
sorry to hear about your sciatica. I get it too. I had it very bad just a few months ago and had to hire crutches to walk. I did take the pain pills. Anyhow, here in Oz when the rugby players injure their backs or have scoatica the physios ice them. Never heat. Ice packs every hour for 20 minutes at a time. I decided that ice was probably the answer since the top sports doctors and physios are doing it. Heat packs make us feel better but heat causes inflammation. As far as muscle relaxers, if you are having back spasms, that's your back trying to create a brace for stability. You may indeed need them if the muscle is contorting your posture. When my back goes out I swear I walk like a duck from muscle tightness/spasms.

Good luck Mel.

so I gather if the TENS didn't do anyting, then the Rebuilder won't either???:confused:

Tens hasn’t been of Any use to me. My PN has got worse and is driving me a bit crazy, don’t really know what is coming first , death or whatever! Lyrica and the foot cream capascian or whatever it’s called seems not to help! What is one to do?

Can I butt in please. My PN is getting worse beyond description. I am on Lyrica and if I miss a tablet in the evening I have a terrible night. As I am getting pretty old 85+ , forgetful . Are there any fellow sufferers out there that have tried any other treatment that has helped ease the pain?

I used the Rebuilder with socks and gloves. It didn't help me, but the company honored the money-back guarantee for the main unit. Socks, gloves, and solution were not included in the refund. The customer service was excellent in providing guidance, and there were no questions when I contacted them about returning it. Supposedly, it's different from TENS, but I don't understand the differences. It might be worth a try...

:Hi, I am new here. I have the rebuilder 2407. I use it in the divided bath. My question is can I use fragrances epson salts? I left foot seems to get swollen from using the bath. Thanks for any help
