Bob Harris has fought chronic pain, and now shares his experience

//Bob Harris has fought chronic pain, and now shares his experience

Eleven years ago carpenter Bob Harris was in an accident at a work site that severely damaged his knee, leading him to eventually need two complete knee replacements, two total hip replacements, as well as 12 more surgeries. Despite visiting 20 didfferent doctors, Harris still battles pain daily. He has begun to find relief using an Empi Active knee TENS system, as recommended by pain specialist Dr. Tony Lababidi, which sends electric pulses into his knee intercepting the pain signals before they reach the brain. Harris now speaks out to raise awareness for his condition known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and hopes to be able to return to work someday in the future.
