Is Electronic Pulse Massager Advisable While Suffering With Chronic Back Pain?
hi i recently had a spinal tap because my doctor wanted to rule out meningitis, because i was having a fever of 103.5 and could not walk well because i was in pain. i wanted to know since my back is under a lot of pressure and pain, if it is safe to use a electronic pulse massager?

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you should not use electronic pulse massager now.
For the moment your spine needs rest. The massager may irritate it more.
You may use nonsteroidal antiiflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen for a week.
Wish you quick recovery.
