Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi all... I've been mostly lurking, trying to find answers for my daughter's back/pelvic pain. She has prolaspsed/torn discs at L4-5 and L5-S1. She also has Interstitial Cystitis (a very painful bladder disease), IBS and Vulvar Vestibulitis. Recently she has been going to a pelvic pain specialist (urology ARNP) who is treating all of her problems beginning with her spine since those problems may be causing most of her painful symptoms. They have been using Frequency Specific Microcurrent and the results, so far, make us very hopeful. My daughter is definitely having less pain in the lower back and in her bladder/pelvic floor pain after only 3 treatments over the last three weeks. It isn't very expensive ($30 for 15 minutes - they do a 30 min treatment each time because she has so many problem areas). I haven't seen anyone mentioning this kind of treatment on this board, so I thought you might want to know about it for pain relief and/or healing of tissue damage. My daughter is also taking medications for IC as well as narcotic and non-narcotic pain relievers when needed, but she is noticing a definite difference in her overall level of pain. I'm considering trying it for my fibromyalgia and arthritis. I found a couple of websites that explain FSM. I'm not promoting these practitioners. It's just that these sites give good information on what FSM is and Dr. McMakin's site lists practitioners who are trained to use it. Good luck to everyone in finding ANYTHING that helps you feel better!!
