Have you been to a podiatrist? I have inflammation on mine as well but it seems to come with flares. When I am doing better it is less but I remember it taking awhile. What does it look like cause I heard soaking in the bath helps?
By the way it is wonderful that you are feeling better. Wahoo!

Shoes... What kind of shoes do you wear? I've been wearing a pair of Crocs my son got for me for over 2 years and as long as I have pain I'll never wear a regular shoe again.

The Crocs have this 'padding' in the soles and they're wide and comfy so no pressure points.

I have two new pairs coming in the mail tomorrow. My son got them for me for my birthday. Check out the Crocs website. They make all kinds of shoes and styles...even high heals for women. It's not an exaggeration to say these shoes have saved my life.

I am still pain free from the severe pain. I have started experimenting with different settings on my TENS. Try one for 2 weeks tnen try another. I am still taking my morphine and will trying lowering the amount slowly in May.

I am not expecting a healing of the nerves just relief. Only JESUS can heal the nerves. The only shoes i can wear are the soft padded athletic kind.
In the past i have been to 3 Podiatrist and they could only take my money.
I go to a pain doctor only for my Morphine.

Will keep all informed hoping what i do will help others.

I use 1 lead wire with 2 pads and put them on each side of my spine. I put them at the bottom of my spine and set the unit for 1 hour. I find the settings best for me or burst, 120 on width and 70 rate.

Hello,
I have been using my old ReBuilder the same way and it brings some relief

T.E.N.S. George
 

Use your T.E.N.S.,keep your money! I don't know why the doctor gives Morphine for pain in the feet. If the T.E.N.S.works,you have some spinal wear and tear,natural. Jesus may decide the pain is for this life.

Latest news on useing my TENS
 

I have been using the TENS DAILY FOR 1 HOUR AT THE TIME 4 TIMES A DAY.
I wear the unit most of the day so i can turn it on anytime. If i miss a day and walk a lot or do anything else using my feet the pain will start that eveningand it will take me a day to reduce the pain.
Starting today i wear the unit all day and and when it cuts off after an hour i turn it back on. At bedtime i remove it.

The units implanted in your body or preset to operate 24 hours at the settings that give you the most relief. I can find no reason why you could not leave it on constant for 24 hours.


LESS PAIN TO EVERYONE. GEORGE

Frankie jesus does not give us pain. He could heal all the pain in the world if he desired to. He did give us will to help ourselves and he would sometimes help show us the way. My PN was caused by ZOCOR. Made by man.

George (and others), can you provide the name of the TENS unit / Model, etc. and where you purchased it. I 'googled' tens unit and there are several with varying ratings. Amazon ratings are from terrible to great and prices are all over the place. I'd like to hear from someone who is using one and likes it what model it is and where you purchased it. Many thanks.

I have had the TENS at my physical therapist for maybe 15 minutes each time and it gave me a couple hours of relief. I hadn't used it in quite some time and would like to pick up a personal unit.

FYI, I heard some good things about the PAIN GONE Pen (similar to tens), which I've ordered (from UK), and would be happy to post a review once I receive it and have used it for awhile.

Hi Neuro,

I purchased this combo muscle stim/TENS: http://www.lgmedsupply.com/l8eltemustco.html but I think they must have bumped up the price...I remember it being between $80 and $90. I think it's pretty good.

Hope this helps.
