Are their prescribing numbers better because the patients are doing well without them OR because the VA decided that they took the program and now they don't need them regardless of the effect of the class on the patient or the pain?

As a chronic pain patient for the last 16 years, 5 of which were on active duty, I have been used as a Guinea pig for experimental treatments and I have had multiple painful procedures. Most work short term, some were more painful than helpful. I can say the only thing I fear more than the return of the pain is the loss of one of my children or my husband. It is that bad.

It should be a big help, especially not using pain meds.

Look at this promise, it's relevant honest, fascinating new development I've had my wife try it, I want her to go back for more, she's stubborn it's far to get to, for her exacerbated sciatica, you'll see the relevance promise, http://www.calmarett.com it's NOT normal classical TENS, it'll look it, though it's not, much more sophisticated, quite new, not many of them around yet, enjoy. I don't know if VA has it, one VA hosp by us has an academic Hosp affiliated that does have it in their anesthesiology pain mgmt surg and nonsurgical group, though I don't know if VA uses it much yet or at all, though it should, in my view ,certainly.
