In 1963 I injured the 5th lumbar area of my spine while repairing my car. I over exerted and twisted it in such a manner that I could barely move. At that time, the doctors prescribed phenobarbital, a painkiller. I used these on and off for years to deal with the pain from this injury but they really did not help.
Over the years, I saw dozens of doctors looking for relief from the pain and not one of them suggested an x-ray. In 1965 I went to see a Chiropractor. He took an x-ray of my spine. It showed clearly where the imbalance was in the muscles in my lower spine. He did some adjustments for me and this helped somewhat.
Eventually, I was living in chronic and continuous pain day and night. Sometimes I would have attacks and experience excruciating pain for a week or so. I learned to live with this pain and could not lift over 5 kilograms. I eventually had to take a disability leave from work.
Then about 8 years ago I had a CT scan done and was diagnosed with herniated discs. There were also signs of disc degeneration and the presence of a fatty tumor. I tried physiotherapy treatments; including a TENS type device and some exercises. This helped marginally with some relief, but the pain still did not go away.
About 2 years ago I purchased the wrist pulsing unit because I recognized that it gave off current much like the devices that were applied at the Physiotherapists office. I began applying the probe cords on my wrist for blood electrification and taking an ounce or two a day of colloidal silver. I quickly realized, however, that I wanted to place the probe cords directly on my back area where the pain was radiating from. I am a professional saxophone player and had the perfect strap from my saxophone case to fit around my waist and keep the probe cords placed correctly on each side of the area causing pain.
I continued these daily treatments for 2 hours directly on my back. I also have been taking the colloidal silver nearly on a regular basis since I began this process. One day I suddenly realized I was not feeling pain anymore. Over the years I had learned to suppress the pain. It took some time for me to realize that I was not feeling pain anymore. It had slowly disappeared over the 3 or 4 weeks I had been pulsing. I was happy beyond belief. After 29 years I had found a solution to my chronic back pain.
I kept using the wrist pulsing unit like this for 2 to 3 months. Then I would not do it for a day or two and noticed my back still felt pain free. Finally, I did not need to apply the probe cords anymore and my back continued to feel healthy and pain free.
About a year later, I lifted a transmission out of a car that weighed approximately 20 kilograms, and the pain in my back returned. I resumed the application of microcurrents of electricity directly to the afflicted area for 1 to 2 hours per day. Within a week, I was fine.
Just two weeks ago, I was working on my car again as it was time for some pre-winter maintenance. I was crawling around underneath and had been twisting and turning my back in uncomfortable ways. About 2 or 3 days after this, I noticed my back pain was present again. I have now been pulsing again for 2 weeks and the pain is steadily subsiding.
