Date: January 22, 2008 I am a 68-year-old very active woman. We live in northern Minnesota and we burn wood for heating all winter. My husband is 71 and unable to help much, so it's just my job. Last fall we had a gentleman come in with his cutter splitter and cut up and split 21 cords of firewood for us. Then I began hauling it into our shed to store for the winter. Some I hauled into our basement and piled for winter use. My sciatic nerve in my left hip and leg began to cause pain. I CANNOT TAKE PAINKILLER MEDICINE AS IT MAKES ME SICK AND I VOMIT. I suffered day and night. I began taking Aleve twice a day and that didn't even touch the pain. So I hurt all the time. Finally, a friend told me about Alpha-Stim®. I went to Marlene Stenlund at the Deer River Clinic, after I had talked to the doctor. I started using the Alpha-Stim® on December 13, 2007. I am still using it and I am almost pain free. I also have a great deal of arthritis in my back and hip. When I went to the Chiropractor, Dr. Davis, he said after X-rays that I have the last disk in my back damaged on the one side and that probably was causing the problem. Although he said my back is in good condition for a person my age. I have now began walking as I use to every day on the treadmill for 25 minutes a day and hope to work up to a hour a day to keep strong. It is a real blessing and I continue to use it every day, and can recommend it to anyone who has pain. |
