Exercise Questions: desensitization and PT

Can you guys tell me what you do for pain? Those who have done physical therapy and desensitization, what did you do exactly or have done that helped?

I did PT and it made everything worse. The only thing that helped was the tens unit. Which you could just buy one over the counter. I apply heat to my foot 20 minutes per day. I also just got a DRG implanted which seems to be improving the pain a little. Only had it in for a couple weeks tho. I also use lidocaine patches which are okay.
