A D V E R T I S M E N T A TRUE STORY ABOUT RELIEF FROM Some years ago, I suffered a slipped disk - a common enough problem but I made the mistake of not resting and letting nature take its course. The end result of this was that the condition worsened and I had to have an operation called a laminectomy later that year. All was well for the next 2'/2 years until the additional strain placed on the other vertebrae caused another disk to slip.

Another laminectomy followed and then yet another.

Naturally all this was beginning to take its toll but things unfortunately were about to get even worse. One of the previous laminectomies failed and this meant a repeat operation. Three months of intense pain to follow, after which it was diagnosed that there was a small piece of bone which had been left inside. To remove this meant another operation. By this time my life was desperate, I was absolutely reliant on drugs and was effectively living a nightmare. I went back to the hospital to see my Consultant - I will remember the short journey from my car to the 1 st floor for as long as I live - 45 minutes of absolute agony - desperately clinging to the wall for support, my fingers torn with the pain of it - all of this for a short two-minutes walk for a healthy person.

It was then I was told there was nothing more that could be done for me! My life was in ruins, I was drug dependent and could not work - but there was nothing they could do! Then almost as an aside, the Consultant suggested "you might as well try one of these - a TeNS".

If what I say next sounds like a miracle, then imagine how it felt to me. After only 20 minutes of treatment, I walked out of the room and back to my car. I still need some drugs but I am at last back living a reasonably normal life and I can work again.

You might not get the same dramatic results as I did but if you have chronic pain as I do, then you will know just how grateful you can be for any improvement and relief.
