Hi friends!
ok.. I go to PT twice a week and I have been there 4 times already. The 1st. time I was there, she told me to bring my husbands tens unit in. I did and now I am having so much pain that I can't stand it!!   I wonder, is she allowed to tell me to use this?? I read on the booklet yesterday that said this;"Warnings: "This device should be used only under the continued supervision of a physician or outside the USA, by a qualified pain management specialist. It go's on then to say;RECOMMENDATIONS for The Therapist.. tips for skin care.. Skin should be cleaned prior to use(mine never was, as she didn't do this!) also it says;If the electrodes do not contain gel, then gel should be applied directly to the skin prior to placement of the electrodes.(she didn't do this either!??) What the heck?? I mean, my doctor never advised that I use this!!! I must be really stupid as to use this without his consent!! She said to leave it on all day, showed me how to use it.. etc. She is getting me mad now, as she also said;" Don't think and dwell on the fact that this will spread(RSD) or it will"!! Doesn't this seem to all of you that she is basically telling me, it;'s all in my head. YET SHE HANDS ME OUT PAMPLETS(well, makes copies saying RSD is not all in the patient's head.. blah.. blah..) Then she go's on to say that they did PT with a guy who fell, sprained his ankle and now, since he had PT he is now back to work!! I don't know about her anymore!! She is the wife of one of the PMD that my doctor is in with!! I mean, I need to know.. is she allowed to tell me to use this TENS device without my Doc. knowing?? should I tell my doc?? Also I am in way to much pain from using this. what was I thinking of?? I feel like a fool for not opening my mouth. Here, she's giving me all this hope, saying this will go away? seems to me that ever since she started me on this TENS, my muscles are twiching, chronic pain, etc. I refuse to use this anymore!! thank you all for reading this,as I will await your replys. thanks. Love hugs , Desi
