Do The Tens Units They Sell At Stores Work?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cambridge Springs, PA

I am so so physically and emotionally exhausted from my pain.
When I go to physical therapy, they first put me on a tens unit with a heating pad over it.
Good lord does it ever feel good!!!
It eases my pain tremendously.

I am super curious to know if the ones you can buy at stores, actually give you relief?
I can't afford to waste my money, but if it works I will save every penny.

How Do You Decide Whether Or Not To Visit The Hospital With Your Chronic Pains

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dunedin, NZ

Ive avoided going to the hospital when my pelvic pains flair up, because i know theres nothong they can do for me. Ive taken panadol, ibuprofen, and my prescribed codeine, none of it helps and i usually end up vomiting because of how painful it can get, its imobilising. I know the hospital cant give me anything or help in any way, i usually just get a few tests and am told to go home. And just wait for my ultrasound in 2 weeks from now. Help?

Halloween

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cincinnati, OH

What do you all do with Halloween. As people with chronic pain and/or disabled, do you sit out on the porch and give candy, turn your lights out, or do you live in an area that isn't frequented by trick or treaters? We've moved to an area that has alot of them. Before, we lived in an area just outside the city not conducive to walking door to door.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

O know Halloween is over...but Happy Halloween to you and Caneman.

Why Are Doctors Ignoring The "conclusive Fact" From The AMA That,"there Is No Addiction To Opioids If And Taken As Prescribed.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Underwood, IA

How can a Doctor let people suffer in pain,? The government threaten them? I will not suffer and will get what I need from the street. I have legit pain and do not abuse and will not be mistreated by any Doctor.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

It's more than Disgraceful & Dictatorial. I will make my own pain pills with heroin(a few grains in a vitamin capsul) if I have to go that route. I Can Not & I Will Not Suffer. Period.
