I was wondering if anyone has tried or owns an EMS or TENS device? I know physical therapists use them routinely to treat tendonitis. I recall reading some literature when I was in PT well over a year ago that said PTs thought these devices were very effective in treating tendonitis. I don't find PT helpful at all with my swimmer's shoulder, although I have an adapted PT/RC home care program. (ART works better for me personally. Just my own experience.) But I was wondering if anyone had had any success with one of these devices on their own at home? I have heard a swim coach poo poo them as providing only temporary relief. But that same sentiment could apply to ice as well ... Thoughts?
I guess I may have to put some of these acronyms on the terminology thread .... ;)
:laugh2::laugh2: I love my initials, too. I only marry men whose last names start with a D.
And what's wrong with temporary? Isn't everything temporary? Some temporary things just last longer than other temporary things; I've been temporary for 59 years and I am still temporary!!
I agree, DD/DB/BB (which one should I use? ;) ) I have LL. Same thing.
Temporary is good, as long as the initials aren't. But I may still have to avatar or profile picture my back porch or guest cottage to tempt you. Yes, much is temporary. Is this a philosophy thread now? There have certainly been enough hijacking attempts. :rofl:
Is this where I am supposed to ask politely or rudely for everyone to get back on topic? ;)

Well, the actual pain I was referring to was swimmer's shoulder or RC tendonitis. To quote Peter Cruise, don't believe everything you read on the internet.

If by rehab, you mean PT, I don't need no stinkin' PT.
