patient comment on Infrex Plus and carryover pain relief

Posted Under: Medicare coverage for Infrex, reusuable electrodes

Bob,

I apologize for not responding to your emails.  Things have just been so hectic with my family.

I am using the unit twice a day, each time

I use it approx 15-20 min in one area and another 15 min in another area which seems to really help.  I think in the beginning I was using a higher strength than I should have to the point of really pulling on the muscle that hurt.  I am getting pain relief

which is wonderful.  I was able to stop taking pain pills and I am so glad as they make me very tired and I am an active person.  My doctor does not want to consider surgery now, I think because he is not sure of where in my spine the pain is coming from.

I would like to get this unit to keep.

Please advise what you need from me for Medicare.  My Medicare Supplement will pay too as long as Medicare pays.

I do need some of the pads, how do I get them.

Thanks so much.

JoAnn

Thank you JoAnn,

Very nice note and glad it is working for you.  Please call me if you have any questions I can help you with.  As far as electrode pads go I’ll have Linda or Susan call you on that as they know the Medicare way of handling those pads – reusuable electrodes.

My goal is to make you feel better and a suggestion is you can use the Infrex as much and as long as you need it.  If you do a 15 minute treatment and the pain returns then turn it back on.  You can literally wear it continuously if you need to.

It sounds though as if you are doing very good with the way you are using it.   If you have trouble going to sleep at night then do a 15 minute treatment on interferential  and then put in batteries, go to tns mode, and wear unit on tns mode all night if that will help you sleep.

Expect call or email from Linda or Susan to help on the pads.

Again appreciate your nice email.  Thank you and hope you continue to progress.
