Been using the TENs unit on my back almost constantly, gave in and called for a dr appointment for the pain. Not sure what he can do but I'm hoping for a referral to a yoga pain center as I don't want to go back on meds for pain. Maybe there is some non narcotic meds that could help but I think it needs to be PT or something physical. I'm really hoping there is no nerve involvement. Mentaly I'm stable but the idea of having to deal with severe back pain is enough to make my think of alternatives to living.
