I’ve been suffering from chronic pain since about 15 years, although for the first 5/6 years I haven’t had big problems, as the pain was tolerable and didn’t limit my activities.
I’ve been a housewife till 2005, I have grown up 3 daughters and at that time my activities were all linked to housekeeping and to my daughter's activities. And I was swimming a lot. In 2005 I set up a farm, where I now breed dogs professionally, but I also have other animals like horses and goats.
Pain has not influenced my family relations, my emotional health has always been good, as the pain hasn’t been always so strong, it has been increasing only during the years and when I suffered the most I tried to not strain too much. These high pain moments normally last 4 – 5 days and I get them about once per year.
During moments of sharp pain I experience immobility, and I need to stop working or doing any normal housekeeping activities.
I tried massages, Tecar therapy, kinesiology, but I couldn’t get any benefit from any of them.
It has been suggested by my daughter.
I got my first RF treatment on March 29th, 2021. I did not experience any complication and the general experience was very positive: I felt immediate reduction of the pain. I’ve been ok for 6 months: the pain has never exceeded a certain pain threshold, and this allowed me to do also heavy work at my farm without having to lay down for the rest of the day. Even the pain during the night that was normally very sharp, completely disappeared and I started sleeping well again without waking up each time I moved in bed.
RF treatment allowed me to go back to my normal working activity. Pain has never really disappeared, but it has remained under very low levels for 9 months and it still allowed me heavy work. After 9 months pain came back.
I would recommend doing the treatment, seen the good results. I will repeat the treatment.
