 Post subject: WalkAide indicator question
PostPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:18 am 
According to the WalkAide User Manual (page 9 and 10), the red light, above the triangle, indicates a low battery or error signal. I have changed the battery and the red light remains on and also continues to blink. It isn't sounding/alarming though. Does anyone know what this means?

Is anyone familiar with T.E.N.S. devices. (Low frequency electric therapeutic massager) I tried one of these units and it seems to relieve some of my pain in my spastic muscles. Is this okay to use for MS? Anyone have thoughts?

 Post subject: Chronic Pain and pain pump
PostPosted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 8:29 pm 
I had a pump implanted on 10/5. My doctor claimed that I would get my life back free of taking oral pain meds. So far, over a month, and I have little to no relief from the pump. My doctor doesn't want me back on the orals b/c she figures I've already detoxed from them. I have extensive chronic pain in my left leg. She put Dilaudid in my pump about 2 weeks ago, and ...

PostPosted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:12 pm 
Has anyone moved, relocated or for any reason needed to go for servicing and/or supplies to another location other than the place you originally purchased the WalkAide? How does the new place get the information from the WalkAide unit? Can information be downloaded to a flash drive? What has been your experience?
