My gosh, Bob! What a horrible ordeal you've gone through!!! I sure wish
you the best and continued improvement!
You aren't the first one to mention the tens unit and with good results.
Sometimes the lower back pain is so severe. Does it help with the leg
spasms?
Please take care and keep in touch often with how you are doing?
