Tens

I asked my pcp was safe for chiari prior to decompression surgery and she said it is.  This has come up previously so I just wanted to share what I was told.

So far it is a nice distraction but I will take it.  My latest MRI showed more issues in my neck so that may be why nothing touches it.  I like it on my shoulder too.

I'm happy to hear she approved it.  If I remember right you already have one.  I know for me it has taken down some of the swelling, and with that some relief.  Any thing is worth a try.  Let me know how it work's for you.
