Hey, I just returned from Charleston where I had 5 treatments- It didn’t work…no benefit whatsoever-
I wrote a very long detailed description and somehow it disappeared before I could save or post:(
I am back here in Atlanta and back to square one. I return to work next week.
I’m so utterly defeated after putting in the energy and taking time off work to get help. She did say that not everyone responds to this treatment-
I will say that I think I should have had afternoon appointments- I did a fair amount of walking but it was after I had morning treatment- so she didn’t have a baseline for a pain level because when I went in for treatment I was fine - then I’d leave, go out and walk 3-4 miles- Afterwards the tingling and numbing would start. Of course the burning too( bottom of feet and toes only)
I am considering red light therapy or cold laser therapy?!
I’m desperate because I can’t quit work and I am looking at at least 5 more years - The neurologist I saw referred me to a pain clinic and all they wanted to do was implant a spinal cord pump into my spine - They didn’t even l examine my feet!
So I said nope not for me, got accepted into the MUSC Scrsmbler therapy-
It was 100.00 a visit - you pay by the day - my lodging cost more ( Airbnb)
I don’t know what to do - I feel like I’ve slipped through the cracks and haven’t found the correct care to get me through-
I know this is a chronic condition and I don’t expect to live a pain free life but if I could get a little relief.
It doesn’t help that I work in the air( pressurized cabin) and that makes it worse.. sorry for the rant -
If anyone has any recommendations for legit treatment here in Metro Atlanta please share! Thank you
