Read in the paper about some woman who had pain in hip and leg etc which was refered from the spine and she could not get her turkey out of the oven last Christmas becos to bend was painful. She has had a new device implanted it is the size of a stop watch and it sends signals to her spinal column to stop pain messages she had had op as she had two vertebra fused but the pain came back soon but after implant pain has improved her lot and she can now get that turkey out of oven the device saps away the pain and agony anyone heard of the like and is it cheap or does it work.

    Hi Chrisov

    I might be wrong but it sounds very much like a tens machine to me?

    Glad to hear you're feeling a bit brighter.

    Love Vonski x

    Hi Chrisov

    Tens didn't do anything for me either, suppose it works for some but I think it's more on muscle pain not pain pain if you know what I mean :)

    I'm going on the blood test route again as Dr. thinks there may be something else apart from the cancer, I'm just greedy.

    Are you looking forward to Christmas? I'm sure it's going to be special this year. Hope you will be seeing Charlie sometime so he can give you a lovely Christmas smile just for grandad.

    Take care
    Love Vonski x
