Lightbulb I had 3 months of this....

A IFc treatment at the highest level you can stand (mine was 13) for 20-30 minutes with an ice pack over the spot (for me it was the sensitive groin area)...

Then the ultrasound.

I would certainly find out what they are doing at that PT. ( he would NOT be going to PT for only TENs....it has to be IFc= inferential current)

TENs is not harmful, but it does NOT have healing properties. And placement of the electrodes is different for IFc (usually).

I would NOT turn it up like they do at at PT for IFc treatments. Please ask the therapists for more detailed info. You might want to go there for clarity, at least once.

I've been to every single session with him. I do my own workouts (for my frozen shoulder). I have a ball there.

The top guy (don't know what your would call him at this place), but he's the one who set the tens machine and told me to leave it at that setting and he can do it for as long as he wanted to. He did tell me (Alan slept all through this discussion), he told me that Alan should start at the lowest session.

I told this to Alan but he wanted to do what he wanted to do.

I did tell him that if he used it again and turned the dial all the way to the right, that he would be a dead husband. He laughed.

He woke up and feels just dandy.

We're going there tomorrow. I shall get more detail on the electrodes with the big pad over it, (don't know if it's IFc).

Will update.
