Not did, will always have. It's just a matter of learning how to reduce the pain and manage it. When I first got my red light laser I started with frequency level 1 for a week and then I went to level 2 another week and I tried level 3, but it was too strong for me and caused pain. I then backed off to level 2 and that is the level I use most of the time. However since our city swimming has opened and I swim daily I haven't used it. A couple of days of missing swimming the pain returned on a scale of about 4 or 5 so I then used an ice pack over the eye and forehead for several minutes or until the pain subsided. Do you find also that cool water or ice reduces or illuminate's the pain?
When using the red laser light I sometimes do a 1 5 minute session or sometimes 3 5 minute sessions on various spots of my forehead and scalp. Honestly I just play it by ear. Depending on the level of pain I may use level 2 or level 1. I don't like to over due the intensities. At first I did the treatment daily and then gradually weekly or bi weekly and as you can tell now as long as I can swim in cool water it controls the pain. Thank goodness. After getting the Shingles and being on pain meds that made me drousey and wanting to sleep I put on about 30 pounds. Yikes. So my Dr. gave me a prescription of Phentermine 15 mg and to both his surprise and mine it totally takes away the pain 100%. But he can not issue another prescription for me. If you are a swimmer and have a outdoor pool to swim in I highly suggest it. I guess an indoor pool will work also, I just enjoy being outdoors. I swim 1 mile, daily, 64 laps, but that doesn't mean you have to. I just enjoy the exercise. Please let me know if this info has helped in anyway. Prayers for you.
