Shingles jab and PMR
A lady I know believes her PMR was caused by the shingles jab she was recently offered at the age of 70. I’d never heard this before and I wondered if it’s a widely shared view and if so is there any evidence to back it up?

Tens machine
Good Morning, Could i ask if using a tens is considered safe if you have Afib.I know that it is not recommended if you have any implants like pacemaker etc, but if not, is it O.K. for relieving muscle pain?

Significant RLS improvement!
I have tried soo many things to improve my RLS...taking magnesium, iron, tens machines, ice baths and acupuncture! I’m on Parapexole, but I was sure this was contributing to the worsening of my symptoms, so managed to cut down after a week or two of painful, agonising nights. I was always sure it must

Normal MRI, EEG -don’t feel normal Vm from shingles
Hi Things keep coming back ‘normal’ but I still get tired and have jerks and a little bit of “ataxia” when tired. I don’t think this is a “functional” or conversion disorder, since this only happened after meningitis but I keep wondering what’s wrong with me? Is it just meningitis recovery?

Constant bleeding - should I ask for deeper tests?
I had my first laparoscopy in September. Endo is now confirmed. I started I really strong contraceptive which has halved my pain, but I'm bleeding constantly - and I don't mean spotting. It's been a few months now and I'm still bleeding, with cramps every now and then. I'm starting to wonder if I should

Optimising TENS Machine?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting the most possible pain relief out of a TENS? So far TENS is one of the few things that have helped me deal with pain. Today I have had 2 doses of 30mg of dihydrocodeine and my TENS on 150hz/120 pulse at a dial setting of 5 (out of 8), but am still

Coping strategies for endometriosis
Hello, I am currently awaiting a laparoscopy on the NHS. I am desperate for any tips that you may have when on your period to cope with the pain/be able to function and go into work. I currently find I have to sit in a scorching hot bath or shower for hours to gain any relief. At the moment I take ibuprofen

My husband is 52, no symptoms of heart issues. Had a VNS fitted for his epilepsy. (Which he's had since age 4) It was useless. He had heart block on the operating table after the VNS was implanted. That was brought under control and he was released 1 week later. Had an angiogram and told he had a heart

I really don't want to go on tramadol or anything stronger as I just won't be able to do my job. I was thinking about trying a TENS Machine, and I have an

Such A Pain In The Back
Face like it and walk like it. Sleep deprived and zombified.

Pudendal nerve block with Dr Baranowski in London?
After two months of pudendal neuralgia, I am considering the nerve block injections as the condition is seriously curtailing what I can do. Has anyone had these injections with Dr Baranowski, in London? Thank you.
