[TMIC] TENS

2008-07-26 Thread Gerry Surette
A few weeks ago when my physio therapist was here I had a spasm in my right 
leg One could see my muscles protruding out of my leg. Anyway she said she 
was happy to see it. I certainly didn't share her feelings.  She then asked 
me if she could correspond with my neuro. I asked her why, It was then that 
she mentioned TENS Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.  She faxed a 
request for TENS My Neuro said that I was receiving the maximun meds my 
body could endure and gave her his blessing. My Physio was here yesterday 
and we tried it. It sure felt good very relaxing. She said it would help 
confuse my my pain nerves. thus reducung or eliminating my pain when I get a 
spasm. The purpose of this email is to ask one and all first if they have 
ever heard of it and secondly if so what were the results. thank you lol to 
all with TM.

Gerry,

I know that some on here use a TENS machine.  Can't recall just who it might 
be though.


I had physio person use TENS machine on me back in 1990 for herniated disc 
problems.  Then in 1991 to 1992 and again in 1994 for 2 different car 
accidents.  It really helped back then as it relaxed the muscles.


Glad to hear it is helping you too.

[TMIC] Tens Unit

I have used the tens unit since Tm invited itself into my body.  Have  found 
it to be very helpful.  Am not aware of pain as much and it does help  with my 
legs.   Give it a try.

[TMIC] TIMS

2008-07-26 Thread randy rankin
TINS, TEMS, whatever you call it, really did wonders for me after an auto 
accident in 01 but when I tried it with the TM I was in intense pain for 2 or 3 
days afterwards. I tried it one more time and it was just so painful afterwards 
that I didn't want to do it again. I tried it near the TM area and also on my 
legs. It felt good on my legs but it never made any improvements. I just spent 
a lot of money. I'd try it again if I thought that it might make a difference. 
I'm glad that it worked/works for some.
