Yeah electrical stimulation is used alot in Physical Therapy. TENS units are very similar to the treatments you see in physical therapy. A spinal cord stimulator is an implantable version of a TENS or electrical stimulation machine, although it is a last option type prescription if the TENS unit is not sufficient.

A spinal stem. cord, has leads that go from a predetermined spot on youre spine to a silver dollar sized battery pack that is planted under a fat layer under you're buttox. Very refined these days, you used to have to have Sugery to re-do a new battery every couple of years. Not any more thanks to advances in electronics.

Tricomb is awesome at giving wd advice

 

[Bluefrogger]

A lot to be learn here!

 

[Coraline]

There really is. I learn a thing or two every day here. I'm really glad I found this site. It has everything in one place.

 

[Coraline]

That's because the other forums are crap. I think they "swim" too much and encourage feeding their hamsters Vicodin. Lol!!

What muscle relaxers are you getting in 4 days? I wish I had my darling Soma back

I have to make do with methocarbamol these days.... -______-

I'm getting my Soma refilled Thurs. Not to rub it in

Methocarbamol sucks! I usually keep a few on hand but I get 60 Somas a month.

 

[Coraline]

^^ just don't take it with soda. It will dissolve in your mouth and Methocarbamol tastes like crap.

I do the same thing too. I get 70 soma a month.

 

[tricomb]

Well if we must whip out our dicks and measure, I used to get 240 a month (2800mg/day).

 

[*samsonite*]

Omg I'm jealous. My SO used to get 90 and didnt like em so I was in heaven for a couple yrs.

 

[Coraline]

I will whip out my larger dick and tell yah I'm getting another increase next month

But only 10 more.

 

[*samsonite*]

I think I need to request a penis enlargement from my doc Thurs

 

[Coraline]

^^lmao!!!

 

[tricomb]

Lol ladies,

How's everyone feeling tonight? I'm feeling alright.

 

[mrflowers00]

i think zanaflex is way better than soma i take 16 to 24mg of zanaflex and my muscles are like jello and i'm calm as shit

 

[Coraline]

Lol ladies,

How's everyone feeling tonight? I'm feeling alright.

It great night!! I was watering the yard earlier and something bit me. I slapped my foot really really hard now it hurts to walk. I have slender feet and hit a bone and ligament with my ring. I have a bruise and pain. More reason to pop another one lol!! Just kidding that's how my tolerance will go back up.... Rationalization.....

 

[tricomb]

furreals? I dont think soma can be beat.

 

[Coraline]

I don't either. But it's still a good drug.

 

[*samsonite*]

furreals? I dont think soma can be beat.

Agreed. I've literally tried almost every muscle relaxer the US has to offer and prefer soma.

I have a lot of weird little spasms where my limbs and back tense for the length of a second and release. It happens all day long. Even while taking gabapentin and soma. It's painful. Kinda like a twitchy cramp that changes in location every time. Do you guys think this is muscle or nerve related? My dr didn't really respond when I mentioned it.

 

[Coraline]

I think nerve. I get multiple small like individual muscle spasms or twitching all up and down my legs.

When I had dye injected in my back it simulated it but 10x worst.

Sometimes you can see my leg muscles rumbling.
