Chris did they give you a Tens unit ?? , that helped me a lot on my (2) slap repairs (rot cuff surgeries ) . also wall walking with my fingers or even pendulum swings . Any of these helps strengthen the muscles plus relieves muscle cramping

 

all I can do is pendulum swings all therapy is passive at this point. Therapist said I could go to cvs and get 1

 

Isn't this a workers comp injury , if so they should supply you with a Tens unit

If you were closer I could give you one of my Tens units , I've got (4) I've collected over the many surgeries I've had

 

I asked about it for my back. I may ask about it for the shoulder and let them buy it then can use for both. My back is all discs though idk how much it'll help

 

I use my Tens unit on my lower back and it relieves the pain

 

Mind blown ... How the hell has this never occurred to me!?!?!?!?!????? We don't have too hard a time up here keeping stuff cold from the heat, so I haven't seen a need to invest in one of those super duty coolers when my Igloo(s) are doing the job just fine.....

BUT ... Keeping food and especially water from freezing ... that's a different story.

... added RTIC, or similar to my buy list for before hunting season. Thanks Mike!

Some things are NOT joked about, or messed with:
1) Top of the list is coffee, ask any troop whoever worked with and/or for me.
2) Nowadays, at my present age and work schedule, my naps are sacred and necessary to the safe passage and survival of those around me.

You have been warned.

Yeah, what Chief says ...

Tried ... Little Skipperke girl dog (Shadow) doesn't seem to be on board with the before work nap concept ... she wakes/stirs about 45-60 mins in. I used to kennel her during my day naps when my wife was in town; but now, since I have to kennel her for close to 11 hours while at work, I'm letting her nap on the bed with Bear and I. Fortunately, the morning or mid-day nap she seems to be good for 4+ hours. Might have to adjust from two shorter naps (morning and evening) to one longer mid-day nap for the Summer while we work thru this shtuff.

G'nite and rest well Chief.

Sleep well Susan.

Hiya OP

"Creepy pic Andy" is my favorite version.

 

I figure it's worth a try if I can get 1 sadly I've pretty well become accustomed to it.

 

Getting accustomed to ???

 

My hunting/fishing buddy swears by his Tens unit; he had back repair surgery after falling off a K-loader about 10 feet up. I'd push to get one if it were me ... I've never heard anyone that needed/used one say it didn't help.

 

The pain I've had the back pain for years, The doctors won't do pain treatments anymore so I work and live with it. Surgery is the next step and they refuse until I can't get out of bed. They say with what they'll have to do I'll never work again at the least.

 

I believe I'll be asking about it tomorrow thanks

 

What is this tens, you are talking about?

 

I've never used one but from what I understand it's an electrical therapy unit

 

Nevermind, I Googled myself...I mean, it

 

I was thinking I may try it on my head and see if it'll help that also

 

Ima tell you right now, you try and ban coffee and we got one guy on here will probably try to kill you. This isn't a warning or threat. More like a statement of fact.

 

New commercial came on the TV. Don't know what the commercial was about, but the song. Rumble. I can play that song. My wife hates that song.
"I don't need to hear that, I hear it all the time" well she heard it again.

 

Freakin' Genius!

 

GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!
