Hi Paula,
I am glad things are going better for you. I tried a tens unit once, but it made my neck go into spasms even at the lowest setting.I have thought of trying acupuncture, but my insurance won't pay for it and I can't afford it myself. I already had the surgery. It did help some.Keep letting us know how things are going for you. You are always in my prayers.
Your sister in Christ,
Gloria

Hi all,thanks for the welcome. Well I met with a neuro surgeon yesterday and he said that surgery isn't required at this time.....just keep on with the physical therapy and get that epidural...he also said something about getting a trigger point injection...and to stop doing traction....that seemed to be making it worse....so yesterday at pt they put an electrical unit on me that was something like a tens unit but better .......little electric pulses went into my neck.......felt good.....after it was numb.....felt better.....I slept better than I had for a long time....this morning I am a little sore to the touch at the base of the cervical area of the neck and feel like I have a knot in my shoulders.....but better.....tomorrow I will be in la la land....cervical epidural time......Sincerely a child of the King,
