Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi Joyce, I just kinda jumped in here after not being online for a few days so I have probably missed a lot but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your pain and stuff. It sounds like you have been, and still are going through H #( & $#( & !! Whoops! Too many letters there but you get the drift! I have an SI belt too and I know what you mean about it staying in place. I am not as bad as you are so it does help when I remember to wear it and can get it to stay in place. I had xrays done today of that very area. Of course my trying to read them is a joke and it all looks like a mess to my self-trained eye!! The new rehab doctor that I am seeing had me start on one of those home e-stim machines. It is similar to a TENS unit in some ways but is supposed to be very different. It has to be programmed for the body area you are using it for. THen it runs for 15 or so minutes on the first cycle which I think is for pain and then the next 30 minutes is for the muscles and ligaments I think. I had one once before but my mind has more holes in it now. Sorry. I am supposed to do it 45 minutes twice a day! Ha@@!! It did seem to help today though after the morning treatment with the PT. I just wanted to tell you how much I hope you can find something that helps and to tell you about this estim machine. You can use ice or heat while uyou are using it too. Hope you have a better day tomorrow. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
