A Secret About something I am trying...

[Guest guest]

AS many of you know, due to complications, I lost half of my left

breast to necrosis. When the incisions healed, I had very much hard

tissue in my breast. My local Dr. told me it was probably fatty scar

tissue and after all I had been through I was lucky to have a

breast. He told me it may never soften, may never have feeling again

and if I did not see any softening or disappearance of the hard mass

in 3 more weeks, in his experience, it would never get any softer or

shaped any better.

I was pretty upset, because I had already decided I didn't want to go

back in a year for a mini tram and reconstruction. Once my breast was

healed, I just felt LUCKY to have a breast and to have no holes or

infections anymore and wanted to call it quits.

I got to thinking one day and remembered that my first husband had a

bad bone break that did not heal. They reoperated, put pins and a

plate on the broken bone and sewed up an electrical pulsating device

into his arm to facilitate the healing. It worked, and a few weeks

later, they removed the device.

Because I have severe shoulder and neck pain, my Dr. prescribed

a " tens unit " for my continual pain. It sends an electrical,

pulsating charge, and has sticky pads which have wires, much like an

EKG machine.

Without asking anyone or telling anyone, when I was alone, I began

putting the tens unit on my hard, mishapen breast. I had no feeling

in it whatsoever, and I could crank that baby up to the highest

setting til it jumped and never feel a thing.

I have been doing this now for weeks--secretly. It is my own

experiment, and to my amazement, the tissue has softened and there is

only one small hard area which is shrinking. I now have feeling in

the entire breast except for that small area, and each week, the area

in which I have feeling increases. As I sit here, I have this tens

unit on my breast and I can no longer crank up the intensity to

halfway!

Now, my breast is " fluffing up " and it jiggles and moves and the

shape is GOOD. The skin is healthy, the color is back, and I can

hardly wait for my local MD to see how it has improved! He will have

to eat his words!

I don't know if this would be effective for anyone else or for other

scar tissue problems, but this is my own personal experiment and I

just wanted to share. I am witnessing a near miracle with this

little breast...hehe...

Dear Jeena I have also used a tens unit on my extremely painful feet,

unfortunately it never did much for me, however I do believe that they can

be helpful, I know my in laws use theirs for everything and claim it helps

them so much.

Love,

PS I am glad your healing so well, that is great news!

Good for you!!! That is great to hear. As I have been told by others,

some docs out there don't want people to completely heal or else they would

have no business left. You need to do what you feel helps. Look at how

many docs people see and how often they see them? It never used to be like

that? My dad also brought up a good point. Growing up in ND, he and also

I, my greatgrandma used to put eggs in the basket on a shelf for a week and

they would be fine. Now you can't leave eggs out on the counter for

15minutes or they will kill you. I don't get it.
