Dear Electromedical Products International, Inc.
I have had severe osteoporosis for a number of years. On December 30, 2001, I fractured my pelvis in the back at the pelvic rim. I was in
the hospital and then transferred to a rehab-nursing home where I developed an excruciating pain in my left hip. It was so severe they couldn’t give me physical therapy so they sent me home. I rented a hospital bed and a
wheelchair. I was in them until March 20, 2002.
I had a number of epidural injections from a pain center, went to my spinal orthopedic specialist, had two MRI’s and a CAT scan. My orthopedist then sent me to a
neurologist for an EMG in June.
The results from that were not conclusive - no single nerve was involved as most of the doctors thought. He said it was a cluster of nerves as a result of the fracture. He gave me a
prescription for a TENS unit on June 14, 2002. I used it for one week and the electrodes and lead lines kept coming disconnected so on June 24th, I returned it and got an Alpha-Stim 100.
After one treatment, the
burning and tingling went out of my left leg. I have now used it for 6 weeks and walk without a walker or cane. The pain has lessened so much I can hardly believe it. Before all this happened, I was walking 1½ miles every morning.
I am so thrilled to know I will soon start my morning walks again. The neurologist is more than pleased with my progress - THANKS TO ALPHA-STIM 100!
Sincerely,
