So I decided to get out yesterday and run some errands. Since my back/hip/leg pain started in May, I don't get out very often, but you can only do so much online and sometimes Wal-Mart just screams my name.

Bad bad bad decision.

I was barely gone 3 hours. I thought the ibuprofen would hold out but no such luck.

Thank goodness I have my new best friend. It's a TENS unit but I call it my 'lectricity box. I just slap on the electrodes, plug it in, crank it up, and …. whew! I've been using it on and off all day and have no idea how I would have managed without it.

I've read how it supposedly works and I don't really care. I just know that it helps. I used to look forward to the brief sessions in physical therapy and finally I got to have my own little portable unit. Now I can get relief any time I need it.

I'm praying that insurance will cover it. They don't pay for my prescriptions, but PT says this is different. So far they've agreed to a month rental on a trial basis, and then they'll evaluate again. If I have to pay for it myself, I will. It's so worth it!

Keeping my fingers crossed (not too tight though, best not to do anything that might cause more pain).
