Please us updated. I'm very interested in how this works for you over the course of a few weeks.
I will definitely keep you updated. I had to charge it yesterday for about two hours and my pain crept up a little.. I think I am hooked on this and it is nice to be able to move free and have it programmed to give the therapy every other hour.

This sounds very encouraging! At first i was concerned about how much it costs but as you mentioned, compared to the cost of injections, its really not expensive if you can eliminate a shot or two. Plz give us another few updates in the coming weeks. Maybe wecan negotiate a group discounted rate? Ha-ha

I've decided that I'm going to try this out. I responded well to TENS but it has limited use for me since my RSD spread to almost full body. Sounds like this should work (hopefully) for more generalized pain throughout the body. It's worth a shot anyway...

I am at a week and a half and I like it a lot. I took it off to see what would happen for the evening and my pain increased. I now have it on about 90% of the time. My medical team is impressed and don't know anything about them but they were amazed they are now wearable. Let me know how it works for you!

This is a good idea if you need pain relief so you could weight bear. Anything which diminishes pain to allow for activity is a good thing, especially if over time it eliminates meds.
