Precision Plus Pain Management

Good Morning. We had a VERY long night last night. Gary was up ALL NIGHT LONG with pain. It seems that the Precision Plus Device is not completely working at this time.

I asked Gary to try to explain to me how this pain was different than the original and it leaves me a little confused.

The original pain was sciatic nerve pain.
Then he got relief with just some minor irritation from the electrical currents.
Then, he started feeling an overwhelming sensation of tingling and numbness (like when your leg wakes up from being asleep and causes you to cramp).
Now, he has both the original pain as well as this tingling/numb sensation so the pain has become unbearable.

I have loaded him up with valium and xanax all night with the hopes that he could relax but it did not work.

So, I am calling the Rep this morning and we are meeting at Barth's office at Noon to have the leads taken out. Hopefully he can shed some light as to why this is happening. After all, this is only suppose to be a trial run and I want all the kinks worked out before we do anything permanent.

I will keep you all updated!
Love, L

You've heard of the "Rain Dance" - we will do the "Pain Dance" tonight to pray for rest and freedom from pain for Gary...just the picture in your mind's eye of the 3 of us should be enough to numb anything!!!

Trusting in the Lord,

A college friend of mine in New York is a physiatrist, and tells me these devices sometimes take a while to calibrate correctly.

I hope tonight is better!
