Re: Neuromuscular stimulator--great online store and great model

[Guest guest]

Boy , is this wierd! I was online and then my doc's office called because

yesterday I had taken her a letter from Anthem(my insurance co) saying that they

wouldn't pay for the RS Medical eletrical stimulator that I am using right

now. There is a 3 month free trial period and then it is about 35 dollars a

month. I don't know what it costs to buy it. It is different from a TENS unit

which

I already have.

I had one just like this when I had rotator surgery. It has two cycles. First

is for pain and lasts 15 min. and the second one which is 30 minutes,

contracts the muscle. That is what I am trying so hard to do with my knees and

lower

back.

Funny that you brought it up. When I came back to the computer , there was

your message!!

Hi ,

That sounds like a great little model with both the EMS and the TENS

function. VERY handy indeed :-) And 3 months free rental? Yowza

that is a great deal :-) I don't think many people could put up with

some of the sharper ones. Getting use to it isn't very easy and my

guess is that many aren't able to put up with some of the sensations

of some models (especially the 1980 version >:-X) so how wonderful to

be able to give it a trial run and see if its for 'you'. Why don't

you ask these people if they rent to own? That just might work even

better for you...

I can sympathise w/ the insurance issues! Our company wouldn't cover

it either. Hence why it was even more important to get a 1/2 decent

price. I wonder if they think using one of these things is an easy

way out to building muscle (yeh...right! :-O )? Also, for a while a

lot of people bought these things to get firmer thighs or ab

muscles...so perhaps this made it seem like a 'luxury' (cough!)

There were a few injuries and then I think the US got a law in place

where to buy one you need to have a DR's prescription. I had to

email a scan of my script to PT mart for my machine but it wasn't a

big issue.

I'm so glad you've got a good unit that works for you! :-)

Take care !
