Hi all,
It has been a while since I have posted here. I recently started
physical therapy while waiting for something else to come along. I have
gone to a pain clinic in El Paso, Tx a couple of times, I had a spinal
shot that didnt seem to help except a very small amount, they thought I
had a hernia, but I didnt. They think I have irritable bowel. I am now
also being treated for irritable bladder, which has helped in that area,
but I still have daily pain inspite of the duragisic patch & the
vicodine for breakthrough pain(4-5 a day). I have recently had a ct
scan & a bone scan, which virtually showed nothing (I say that because
it showed I had some sort of apendix problem, but I had my apendix out
13 years ago) I am now using a TENS unit, which helps alot with my pain.
I can use it about as much as I want. It really eases the pain. Has
anyone else used this?? What were your results?? I am waiting for an
appointment with a woman ob/gyn that used adhesion barrier in a woman
that works at the hospital here with her scar tissue removal surgery. I
just know if I could get someone to do the surgery & use some sort of
adhesion barrier, it would help me so much. But of course, it seems
like when I get close to surgery, I get shot down, again & again. Some
days, I just cant see the light at the end of the tunnel & it is hard to
keep going.
love & wishes of wellness to all
Robin
