I've had 7 ionto treatments over 2 week's time. And the last three were the bandaid version. When he did ionto in the office with the electrodes hooked to the little power thingie, it was stinging and burning SO BAD that I had to have him take it off and give me a break. And the bandaid version supposedly should not sting, but it was stinging for the entire 3-4 hours I had it on. So maybe I just can't tolerate electrical current running throuhg my body?!?! I'm also suspicious of those bandaids, although I'm not allergic to latex. The PT did say that a reaction to ionto would build up over time, kind of like an allergic reaction to anything else. So it seems feasible to me, but then again, I have no clue about this kind of stuff!

Knotted - just out of curiosity, is ionto kind of an "old school" treatment? It seems like it's been the cornerstone of my treatment with this PT. I've never had PT before, so I have no idea what different types of things a PT would do for tendonitis. I am not terribly impressed by this guy in general, so maybe I should try to get a different referral.

Hmmm...the body is such a fascinating machine. I wish I could look inside my foot and see what the heck is going on in there!
