pain

[daneswalk]

does anyone know if the digitopuncture really works i was going to get one for my huaband but he said that i would be wasting our money and beside he has never worn a ring on his finger and after eighty years i dont think i can change him

[sandyRoe]

If treatments like that worked they would be available on the NHS

[boxtops]

What is it?

[society]

What does your husband not wearing a ring has to do with digitopuncture?
(sorry I mean no disrespect or to be rude)

[mrs.chappie]

I'm with Dave on this one, Nessie. Never heard of it but I reckon you'd be better off saving your cash.

Buy him a bottle of his favourite Grouse, that'll sort him out. [:o)

Where is the pain? If it is somewhere that an adhesive pad can be placed then what about a T.E.N.S. machine?

[daneswalk]

hello mrs chappie i have heard dave talking about you how are you well i hope at the moment he is in a lot of pain with two slipped discs and i thought that as it is his eighty birthday soon i would buy that digitopuncture as a present it is a ring he would have to wear but he said no way his other thing he does not agree with is women with tatoos thank god i dont have one

[mrs.chappie]

I'm good, thanks Nessie ... hope you are too. Sorry to hear about Dave. How has he managed to slip two discs?

[boxtops]

I don't think you can cure slipped discs with pressure relief? - what's his doc doing for him?. (Must say I agree with him about the tattoos, I can't stand them!)

[sandyRoe]

He might get some relief from the pain if he lay on his back on the floor and rested the back of his lower legs on a chair.
It takes the pressure off the trapped nerve for a while.

[daneswalk]

thank you all for your kind answers as to how he got his slipped discs well years ago he was a docker and we all know the heavy lifting they had to do well thats when his troubles started instead of feeling soory for himself he took a job as a clerk and rose to be the top man i was so proud of him but now he is in so much pain i only wish i could help for all the 57 years we have been together sorry but just now i feel so sad

[mrs.chappie]

Oh Nessie, wish there was something we could do to help. x

[daneswalk]

thanks mrs chappie and all who replied he is sittng drinking his famous grouse i feel like joining him bit i dont drink so now i will get him into his bed so i bid you all a very good night and thanks for listening to what i had to say

[society]

I now understand Daneswalk, thank you. I hope you find some form of help to relieve your husband of the pain he encountering. Did your husband see a chiropractor? When you find a good experienced one, they can be a God-send. Physical therapy also can be extremely helpful in a case like your husband's. My brother-in-law has similar problem and goes to physical therapy a couple times for the week, and he said that he's about 75% recovered. All the best to you and your hubby.

[mrs.chappie]

Goodnight Nessie (and Dave).

Hope Dave's feeling better real soon. You take care Nessie. x

Take society's advice and get your husband to see a chiropractor, I had lower back problems for years and the national health could do nothing, fortunately my GP slight alternative /complementry leanings and suggested a chiropractor. After 3 or 4 sessions I have not had any problem for 25 years as he showed me how to fix it myself. Very easily
