    My assistant suffers from spinal stenosis. She is on various pain meds, but she also wears this thing that is attached at her hip, and it sends nerve signals out to negate the pain that she feels. I'm not sure how to explain it other than, it crosses the pain signals and she feels less pain with this contraption that she wears. Has he been offered anything like that??

    I think Lut had something like that installed. It worked really well for her back pain.

    ETA They're called TENS units - here is info from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcu...ve_stimulation

    Not yet - we'll see if that's offered tomorrow. I heard something referred to as a "support" - I wonder if that was it.

    You got it Candace... a TENS unit. I'm pretty sure that's that what she called it.

    I'm so sorry to hear your husband - and you, is going through this. No wonder you're concerned. I hope the specialist will know of a treatment that will help.

    Lots of positive thoughts and purrs from Fister and me.

    Prayers and warm thoughts and healing energies are being sent for Coop and for you too, Maggie.

    I know that these days they wait a long time before they do surgery- but your husband's case sounds really bad.
    I hope that among the various treatment options they find the best one.
    All the best for both of you. Orion sends purrings to Pinot who must be worried about her dad.
