Foot Story 3, loraca gets electroctued
Not enough to suffer injury or death, but enough to (hopefully) promote pain relief and healing.
My podiatrist recommended a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation--sounds impressive, doesn't it?) unit for my Achilles tendinitis since the boot and the orthotics and the anti-inflammatory drugs are not helping as much as we would like. Since my insurance company will not cover the boot, I assumed that they would not cover the TENS unit either, but turns out that they will! I got the unit this afternoon and have already used it to electrocute my tendon. It tingles, but is painless. I hope it helps the dang thing heal.
