Hello,
This is my first post. I was recently diagnosed with PLS with right spastic hemiparesis. I take Flexeril and Gabapentin, see a NeuroPT who gives me exercises, swim nearly every day, and have started taking easy yoga classes. I want to do everything I can to get in me the best shape possible for this long downhill journey.
Has anyone had success (or no success) with acupuncture or TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy?
What else has helped you that you could pass along to me?
Thanks much,
Julie
P.S. I've got a terrible case of tennis elbow from gripping my cane too tightly. Anyone got any help for that besides anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve/ibuprofen) and ice.
