Re: Microcurrent
Hi Lindsay,
I was a gineau pig of sorts for this once and posted about it. The post collected a couple of other responses from people who had used microcurrent. Here's the thread: http://www.pudendalhope.info/forum/view ... rent#p3506 BTW in my posts I mentioned the possibility about getting to experiment with the microcurrent again later, but that opportunity never materialized. So I don't have any more info to offer than what I posted.

pelvic pain started 1985 age 14 interstitial cystitis. Refused medical care from age 17, did GREAT with self care for years.
2004 PN started gradually, disabled by 2009. Underlying cause SIJD & Tarlov cysts
improved with PT & meds: neurontin, valium, nortriptyline, propanolol. (off nortriptyline & propanolol now, yay!)
Tarlov cyst surgery with Dr. Frank Feigenbaum March 20, 2012.
Results have been excellent so far; but I won't know my final functional level for a couple of years.

Hi Her Majesty,
Sorry, I never realized you had responded to me until just now. I went back and read your previous post. Certainly not good results. I am interested to hear you were on propanolol. There's been some discussion of it recently regarding central sensitization. I notice you are no longer taking it.
Thanks.
Lindsay

Re: Microcurrent
I realize this is an old thread, but I was treated with micro current technology by Dr. Filner in Maryland. After the first treatment I found it just caused the pain to flare.
PN started 2004 from fall. Surgery with Filler Nov. 2006, Dr. Campbell April 2007. Pain decreased by 85% in 2008 (rectal and sitting pain resolved completely), pain returned in 12/13. Pain reduced significantly beginning around 11/23.

Re: Microcurrent
Lindsay, I didn't see YOUR response til now, not on here much anymore. Propanolol was a good med for me and if I were single I would still be on it. But it drove my husband insane because it narrowed my airway and made me snore loudly. I am improving post tarlov cyst surgery and so as I am weaning off meds I made it a priority to get off propanolol due to the snoring. It really "evened out" my symptoms and made me less prone to take valium which is my "as needed' med; so if I were single I would have chosen to wean off the valium 1st and stay on the propanolol. I do very much endorse propanolol to calm the autonomic nervous system in chronic pain.lindsayg wrote:Hi Her Majesty,
