InterX
 
Does anyone have any experience with InterX? An individual I spoke with, her daughter is being treated with it, and is working well for her.

Thank you

I have never heard of this before. Looking it up...it is interesting. Seems similar to TENS unit treatment (slightly different) but could be better for people who had issues with the muscle contractions that TENS/Stim treatments can sometimes cause. Very interesting...thank for sharing. I responded well to TENS and seem to be doing well with Quell...so this sounds like something else that I could respond well to. I may be starting physical therapy soon and I will ask them about this device/treatment too.

I am starting my 11 yr old on the tens unit tonight, I hope he responds well to it. he has it on both feet, and his legs are hurting him, so our PM said to start somewhere that is not hurting and try to work our way downward

The TENS unit was the number one thing that got me back on my feet when I was in a wheel chair unable to walk or stand at all. It gave me more relief than any pain meds ever did. It was less effective once my pain spread and covered a larger area...but I still use it for flare ups. For me...it worked best if I was able to surround the area of the pain with the electrodes (like when I have bone crushing pain in one particular spot). Another good thing I did was get an ultrasound heat therapy unit off Amazon. The deep heat really helped before any kind of physical therapy and then we did stim at the end. The combination worked great at PT so I got a unit for home and I use that almost every day.
