Hello

[Tracey1972]

Hi every e hope u having a good day I'm in a lot of pain today with my back lots pain killers and tens machine but not really helping my whole body hurting today but back the worst need ton shake it off enjoy the rest of ur day

If you have a bath and some Epsom salts try a long soak with a couple of generous handfuls in warm water and have a good soak preferably with just a candle for light and some relaxing music sometimes just being able to relax the muscles helps. Hope the pain will soon be easier.x

Hi no I haven't I wish I did only a walk in shower but thanks x

[rosewine in reply to Tracey1972]

Same here unfortunately as we could not fit a bath in at the new place. Haven't tried it but others have said they soak their feet in an Epsom salt solution and that the magnesium that is absorbed into the skin during the soak does seem to help the pain. I keep on meaning to get another bowl to try it out as I don't think the OH would be very impressed if I used the washing up bowl.

Don't know about you but I am finding my Tens machine less and less effective?xxx

Do you need new pads? I find also if I change the battery , I get stronger current . 😘

[rosewine in reply to Redhots7]

Thanks for info. have tried both could be it is worn out just like its owner.x

[Redhots7 in reply to rosewine]

On mine, you can open front and adjust settings. Actually, my husband just helped me put the 4 pads on trigger spots . I have one area that feels like the muscle has locked down . Gonna zap the heck out of it !!! Hope you can find out why you are not getting relief from it anymore ! 😘

Seeing the doc on Thursday I got ostopeosis in my back as well so that doesn't help had 3 epidural so and they didn't touch it so the gave up at pain clinic got morphine patches as well they gave me I wear everyday off to bed now take care

[rosewine in reply to Redhots7]

Isn't it awful when you can't manage to out the pads on and have to ask for help it gives me the grhh factor as I am so stupidly independent. Horrible when. The muscles just seem to lock up with pain. I had two Tens and one did massage and EMS as well but when I went to try and replace that one she. It broke they had stopped making it. OH romantically for Valentines Day bought me a wireless Tens but unfortunately where I need it most it is very uncomforrtable because of the fitments and you can only have it on for half an hour at a time before having to reactivate the pad control which would be impossible for me to do without assistance once it is on. Of course being a sealed pack the poor man had no idea.

I know the sort you have and I might go that way myself. Hope th zapping worked.x

[Redhots7 in reply to rosewine]

Rose wine , it did work, feel much better this am. Kept zapping til late at night , Thank you !!!

[rosewine in reply to Tracey1972]

Hope all goes well with your medical appts sounds as though you have a ganglion cyst on your foot always best to have it looks over sometimes if that is the cause they can just go away so fingers crossed as you have enough on your plate.x
