Has anyone heard of it? and its success? My hubby switched to the VA pain clinic and this doc thinks its going to be a huge answer for him. He is also currently having his "good" arm hurt at the shoulder. He thinks its from overuse, but who knows. Any input would be great!! And if he goes through with it I will let everyone know how it turns out.

I forgot to add that Chris also did some hypnosis for pain management. A doctor friend of mine went to Harvard to learn how and said its a stardard of care at the hospital out there for chronice pain patients. It works really well short term, he left the appt with no pain, but it did not reduce his need for his pain meds though. Just not a long term fix that he is looking for. But it did work for those that would want to try it. :D
