Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Good morning all! I just found- and joined this group. I have spinal stenosis, and a few other 'spondo...' stuff. I keep searching for a pain clinic/pain management doc but the nearest are over 100 miles away! (I'm located in a very rural part of southern Missouri) In the meantime, I take PT, use TENS, Interfrential TENS, neck traction, hot/cold pacs, ultrasound; I take Baclofen, Hydrocodone, and Lidodrem patches to combat the pain/cramps. I also use a bunch of herbal preps to aid sleep, depression, etc. (I've tried ESI/ nerve bolc/ RF oblation, none did much good.) I don't often go on-line, nor can I stay on-line for very long. I'm a one-finger typist, plus my body rebels at the posture needed to sit/ look at moniter/ poke the keyboard- I think many of you know the drill! That's where I 'am' at the moment. God bless us all!
