@leahrogne Do you remember what it was or can find out? I've never heard of another similar electrical stimulator. If that worked, it would be so valuable to know. Thank you!

@painsurvivor
What my occupational therapist is using is called: Interferential Current (IFC). Here's one IFC product: https://www.balego.com/products/if-4000-interferential-ifc-unit-machine

There are others. You might as your doctor for a referral to an OT and then they will evaluate you and then can tell about an IFC and how to use it They can advise you whether they think it would work for you. If you do that, your insurance might pay for it (or partically pay). Good luck.
