TENS UNIT

Posted , 5 users are following.

Has anyone had success with using a TENS pulsating electrode device? I have one, tried it and it seems to be helping the burning in my knee. I think its communicating with the nerves that had been pushed out if the way. Anyone with any experience?

    This sounds intriguing. My shoulder has been killing me. I wonder if it would work for that. after 2 knee replacements and extensive pancreatic surgery, the thought of a shoulder replacement I'd devastating. Are these TENS things just in the UK or do they have them in the states? thanks.

      I live in the US. Got my unit in SC and MEDICARE paid for it. Get a ortho to prescribe it, or you can just buy one at most drug stores It should work swell on your shoulder! Best of luck!

    I've used it on an ITB when that has made my thigh burn.

    Also used it when my sacroiliac joint was tight and making my back sore.
