	Sylvia have you tried a heat lamp and TENS machine. OH likes both, I just like TENS because I don't have to sit in one place. Glad too here Dea and Renes are feeling better. Hope everyone is keeping well

	Hi Toots Have heat pad, not heat lamp There are many warnings against using heat lamps. TENS machines do not seem to be so common for private use over here ................ the preference is to have professionals apply them They are available, seemingly only by mail order, but no-one seems to ever recommend them. s xx

	We got our TENS machine from the Physio dept at the hospital as part of OH pain management. They ordered it for OH and we paid for it. We have a chart which shows were to put the pads depending on were the pain is emanating from. I was given a half hour training too but it's self explanatory using the chart.

	as I say, I've had the treatment at the physio's, but no-one ever seems to mention buying your own machine In fact, I googled them a couple of years ago when someone else in England mentioned using a TENS machine. Until that point I'd never heard of them .......... and I could find no Canadian sites offering them. I looked again yesterday, and there are now sites selling them Bad Cyns slap I was just intrigued by the fact that if you put the mouse pointer on the the design at the left of that thing on Edison ... wheels and chains start moving!

	We have two, one with four pads and one with two pads. The four pad one is far better. You can control the strength of the pulse and I have be known to go into work wearing one. Sylvia why don't you discuss it with you Physio. They are best placed to say whether or not it will be suitable for you.

	Hi Sylvia, Thanks for breakfast! I will stick to a 'light' breakfast just for today - we don't want to tempt fate do we (tee hee)? Just a slice of toast and several cups of tea please. Is the pain any easier now? Dea Xxx

	Well, I have had another look but there is nothing about Edison on 'my' home page !!!!!!!!! Dea x
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46 113 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	12 Feb 2011 07:03
	It's right on the first page of google, right above the box where you enter whatever it is you want to find it's still there on mine! s xx

	Thanks Renes, It's nothing serious - just a little 'tummy bug' of some sort. I enjoyed my slice of toast at breakfast but just now 'hubby' asked me if I wanted a bacon sandwich ? (Urrgh ! - the very thought !!) Glad to see you a little brighter - enjoy your 'restful' day, and the Rugby !! See you later, Dea x P.S. to LK - Hope that swelling has gone down now. Dea x
