A member asked:

Can you offer a remedy for pain caused by bone growth stimulator?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take a break: Discuss with your doctor first, but taking a break from the stimulator for a week may help. Another option is to use the stimulator for half of the treatment twice daily. Rarely, it simply cannot be tolerated.
