Hope: Starting Calmare scrambler therapy

@carolynhughes75 You hit the nail on the proverbial head. Pain can make us try just about anything. I don't know if Scrambler is a scam or not. My online searches reveal that it was developed by a Dr. Miller at Johns-Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. That's why it seemed to be credible. It supposedly has a success rate of 70-80%. Seems like every therapy I try that has a high success rate has left me out in the cold. Well, I hope you find some measure of help. And it seems that doctors don't seem to give a hoot.

You are so right about doctors. I haven't actually seen my pain doctor in over a year. I always see his NP. My pain doctor, before he retired, was skilled at Radio Frequency Ablation. My current pain doctor doesn't do it in the area that I need it, intercostal nerves in my left chest, that run under each rib. The great danger that I know my current doctor is afraid of is a pneumothorax, which is a collapsed lung that would require a chest tube. So he doesn't do any RFA's on the chest. I am stuck with no options. I do have a referral to be evaluated at Vanderbilt's Osher Center. They have a selection of different pain classes that I want to try. If no success after that, I am going to try hypnosis. My best to you as we travel this difficult journey.
