sick of the pain

[Eian59]

I have a lot of different things going on with my body , the latest is crumbling spine. The pain is now unbearable. I have tried all the pain meds out there , ie morphine, oxycodone etc nothing seams to help. I think that the only way to stop the pain is to end this existence myself. I have that much pain there is no quality of life now just pain. It’s an existence not a life, and I can’t take anymore. I have been to consultants, doctors etc but no help. I don’t see any other way out , I have never had pain like this, now my mobility in my legs have gone. What an existence

noone needs tosuffer from pain have you had any scans to see the problem. I have problems with my neck the spine has been severe pain. All i can say is what you describe will be transmitting pain to other areas, you will need to try and control possibly nerve damage. I use TENS to help with pain and transmission of pain to other parts of other areas

Did a doctor help you learn how and where to use the TENS? If yes, what kind?

[Hidden in reply to Nothing_but_books]

my TENS i have several mostly twin channel aand my first one was given by the PHYSIO also i purchased a one from BODY CLOCK on the internet. i was also given one in pain clinic my first machine was a single channel while the rest were twin channels, i also have a pain pen. i was trained in the single channel then i instructed myself for the twin machines that have more settings forpossible two lengths say of spine. i paid near on one hundred pounds, with being disabled i did not pay vat

you will need spare tags, although you will be given some wwithe the leads for the channels, i found i was given pads by the hospital, if you have any problems i am generally here to help, today is my first day back after having operations on both eyes

sometimes we need to take over parts of our treatment

Oh, Bob, I'm sorry I disturbed you while recovering! You're right, we have to take care of ourselves as much as we can. I hope you're better very soon.

Generally now I am now on the last day for medications/drops etc My sight is near on perfect although I need glasses for reading and soon will need to have an eye rest for glasses for reading and possibly driving. At the moment just need reading glasses from Boots now i do not really need classes when outside and in the car and watching television. marvellous feel like a new man, although it is taking more time to make sure the error of my right eye may need another operation. my gp did not help with the training although the instructions with the machine were very informative If you are attending hospital for your spine they will give you instructions to using nerve blocks and placing the pads with the two channels, the main thing is adjustment of power and pulse needs to be understood, you will get used to this machine quite quickly. Have a look on the internet that will explain its use. There is another macchine used generally by sports persons called an EMF that tones the musles
