TENS UNITS ARE WONDERFUL. HOWEVER I WILL SAY THAT NOT JUST ANYONE CAN SLAP A UNIT ON. THERE IS SPECIFIC POINTS OF PLACEMENT FOR THEM TO WORK AND THEN SO MANY DIFFERENT SETTINGS THAT ONLY PROFESSIONAL SHOULD DO. I.E. PHYSICAL THERAPIST OR A PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT.

hi sandie thankx for your reply. another thing i was told to do and if ya haven't heard of this u may think its crazy bit also u can take a tennis ball and place it on the area of pain like your lower back and apply pressure off and on. a friend did it when she was having problems with the siadic nerve in her butt. lol. applied the pressure it helped her but not for me. another person in group said a tens unit helps her. my ins compant sent me one and of course no help. but i am the odd one where nothing much helps me. hope this finds u well. hugs, LaNay

My massage therapist taught me in 1999 when I was diagnosed how to loosen the myofascia to relieve the pain. It sure has helped me. If you have ever heard of the term Rolfing, it is similar.

I was dx with fibro about 8 yrs ago. i have tryed lyrica,skelaxen(muscle relaxer) also a few other meds. first they tried the injections to the trigger points and also in my lower back as well. then we did the aqua therepy that helped some just kept me loosed up a little. then they did the massage therepy i went to one that works with fibro pt. well they had to stop that after a month i was worse then before i started. so for 5yrs now i have been on pain meds methadone which i didnt wanna have to do but...its the only thing that gives me any relief. does anyone happen to have myofacia? i am beginning to think i have that as well another friend has that and told me it sounds like i may. because i dont have flare-ups i have it non-stop head to toe. my hips are getting worse when sleeping i rotate like every half hour it seems. lol. i also have some other things that can be relate with fibro. neropothy in my feet> and legs,interstitial cystitis,carpal tunnel,mitral valve prolapse,extreme dry eyes,meniers disease,IBS,RLS,depression and anxiety,bipolar,high blood pressure and i constantly was getting nose sores and my tongue was soo sore i could barely eat at times. also i have RA arthritis and degenertive back. well i am soo sorry i have gave you all such a huge laundry list the first post. keep it shorter next time. lol. but if anyone has myofacia please let me no. thankx. looking forword to chatting with you all. hey also wanna give a shout out to my greatest freind since childhood she just joined your group. hi michelle!! hugs to all, LaNay > > > Created by Sweet > assembled by Sandie> head prepared by Sweet > Dec 2007 > > > > > > > ---------------------------------> Never miss a thing.
