My friend Bob just had one yesterday,in the Drs. office,i was very
worried because i couln't be there,he had no problem just a little
sore last night but feels fine today. Will keep you updated but he yelled
up the stairs. Tell her so far it's great... Boy i hope it stay's that way
he's a sweetheat like you. He drinks ensure to put on weight,lucky
guy... Take care Sue

got me a paper from 1978, so I guess it's not new untried technology?
This is all media oriented, but...

This is also fairly recent:

Not the answers you want but, possibly starting points?

I guess it comes down to: which pain came first? Pain A or Pain B?
Which pain is worse? Pain A or Pain B?
Oh for a new pain vocabulary!
Good thoughts - j

will show that to Bob in the morning J. Karen when your computer went
did it go clank and bank loud noise? boy i must be tired. Sue

Shiney Sue - thanks for asking Bob - will be curious to hear how he did and maybe if he knows - what specifically type of meds he had? (and yes, when my printer just "died" - did so with a very loud grind! - poor thing!)

Dahlek - in this case right now "A" - no surgery - doc would like to do surgery and said would in a "normal" person she would - but with my heath issues and also not being able to take strong pain killers, cant - this is a temp fix.... I'm hoping to be able to separate gut and back pain in this actually.... if it does work at all - but shes not giving me her normal cocktail I know that cause of drug allergies (including novacaine cause no ephinephrine) - but after talking with other docs, thinks its worth a try anyway....
