the spine work and massaging you do sounds good to me. i would also like the chair with the rollers. I could never stand to have anyone even myself touch my feet. I have strong hands even with PN maybe i should rolf.Ha!

i dont think he should get theslender shaper. If the pain is down and he can live with that because of the increased numbness then i think he should leave well enough alone. I had an injection in the cervical spine a few years ago and that set off years of renewed misery in areas which had previoudly quieted down.

Do you know what he would say if I showed you the last paragraph of your post.? HE WOULD NEVER LET ME GET THIS GADGET FOR HIM!!!

lol

thanks much

I'm pretty new to the PN and things.. but it seems like there is a big difference between an injection and some vibrations that make the pain better or make the blood flow better. I could be totally wrong--but this seems pretty harmless.
I have read numerous cases of people's PN flaring up and getting worse due to injections in the spine.. epidurals and things like that. I refuse to try those, because so many people have had horrible problems after getting them. I don't think it's worth it, at least not for me.
But, I still don't see any reason that this gadget would be bad... it's not much different from massage or other things that Alan has already been trying and been successful with. In the end, I am not an expert and you certainly don't have to listen to my opinion or advice.. but I'd just go for it. If it turns out to make things worse or not help, it looks like it has other uses as well.
