While I've had PD for twenty years, I have never
experienced physical pain as a result.
My wife, Esther, has multiple sclerosis and has had
chronic pain at the 5 to 10 level on a 1 to 10 scale for five years. None
of the analgesics - including a potent cocktail of 60 mg of morphine
and100 mg of Demerol every eight hours provided adequate relief. She had
DBS neurosurgery, thalamic stim, in Sept. '00,had the
stimulator implanted Feb. 19 and will have it turned on March
13. We're confident it will work.
In the early pain days, 4 -5 yrs ago, she found the
tens machine very useful.
Cheers,
Bill
