hayward Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Anybody have any experience with this? Spine doctor looked at my MRI and says he's never seen anyone my age with so much inflamation buildup in my back. Says there's nothing he can subscribe for me other than keep popping advil's when the pain gets unbearable. Any other self-help remedies are appreciated as well of course. Oh, and no thanks noggin. Havn't gotten that desperate just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Find a good chiropractor. You know what a Tens unit is? Basically electrical stimulation, works like magic. Maybe massage will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Wife and I have been taking it for some time now. This shit is no shit a good product. Both my wife and I had lower back pain for so long it felt like a part of the family. We just put up with it. The chioro was good on the rest of my back, but nothing ever touched it. Not long after trying it, it was simply fucking gone. Both her and I. I just went to the doctor for my knee; 32 years of getting out of a truck 200 times a day has arthritis setting it. The doctor was actually amazed my knee showed no swelling for the amount of fucked up in there. Shit works. Full body. We definitely know when we run out and are waiting for more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically electrical stimulation, works like magic. Maybe massage will help? Sorry, I should have stated right away, I tried a chiro faithfully every other week for the past year. Sure, come out of there feeling like i'm on top of the world, and next morning, right back to can't put my damn socks on. So in Dec., I went and had the MRI and it showed degeneration and inflamation in my facet joints, so they put a cortisone shot in L4-L5, and L5 S1. That was 3 weeks ago, and although it's better, it just ain't right. I gotta get rid of this inflamation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, did you try just individual ingrediants that's in RF, or did you just say the hell with it, tried it, and it worked so you just stuck with it? In other words, say, just take Tumeric for a while first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have 2 ruptured discs. L4-L5 and L5-S1......if you have significant vertebrae damage surgery is the only fix. I’ve been putting it off for 8 years and every day I wish I would have had it done at 33 instead of now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoyed working, but these last 6 years have been getting more and more painful, and way less fun. I don't do anything extra caricular anymore. It's the day to day accomplish priorities, and if I make it through that, sit or lie down until it's time to go to bed. Plus it makes me moody. Nobody likes moody.

XCR1250 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) This is what I bought for my back, it works after about 15-30 minutes when my back is so bad I can't lift my legs or barely walk..it's not a Tens unit, It's an Ultra-sound the same thing a Chiropractor or an Osteopath uses. I have 2 of Ten's units which help some. https://tensunits.com/collections/ultrasound/products/us-pro-2000-portable-ultrasound-unit Edited February 1, 2021 by XCR1250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part is great, it's the fact that after that, they just automatically bill you for the next month's worth whether you want it or not. You have to cancel it if you don't want it. I hate that shit. You're the first person i've ran across that's tried it. I like the sound of the results you've had. I'ma giver a shot. I've pissed money away on worse things already.
