I am in pain 24/7. Somedays worse than others. Have tried Injections and Ablations with minimal success. No pain pills, just a bunch of creams, muscle relaxers, and Cymbalta. Any one tried BIO-WAVE versus TENS? Looking for some relief anyway I can get it. Life Quality, if you suffer with debilitating pain, I'm sure you know what I mean.

@betterway, This is from 2006 but may provide some information you might find helpful.

Non-Invasive Targeted Electronic Pain Control Device ("Biowave System") Versus Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for the Symptomatic Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00277797

I know what you are going through! I have had every procedure for my pain, to no avail, so my Dr did a spinal Stimulator and I am probably at this point 90% pain free. I still take an occasional pain pill, & muscle relaxers but, other than the Dr telling me. I will be soon crippled I am good! Good luck

You're not alone. Not sure that helps. Been suffering for 3 years now. Have had maybe 6 weeks of lesser pain throughout that 3 years. Debilitating. Ive also had the, "it's all in your head", diagnosis many times. I believe it is what doctors say when they don't know. Blame the patient. Forge ahead. I'll be speaking with Dr. Gillespie that another member here reccomended.
