I know a few had mentioned using or trying Electric Stimulation therapies { TENS, IFC or maybe EMS}.
Mrs. D posted this link for a PN member. I wondered if this was the placements you might have used or tried? http://rehabilicare.com/protocol.html

They tried that on me in PT, but at that time I was so sensitive that it was unbearable. I don't remember what hapened or why I didn't get it, but it feels like an external SCS.

After I had my TOS surgery, I woke up with one on me. Dr. Sanders orders them right away for his patients and makes the insurance companies pay for them.
I loved mine. I used it for at least 5 years for the TOS on the opposite side of my surgery and for the RSD. It has 4 wires that you can put the patches on that stick to the skin and the electrical shocks go through. I'm not very good at using medical terms but that's how I explain it. I had 2 of them and I sent one to a friend of mine that couldn't get one and she loved hers. I think like anything else you have to give them a chance. If they do bother you when you try them maybe take them off and try again another day. Sometimes the mood we are in keeps things from working for us. Ada |
