Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Pam, I wouldn't want to be without my " TENS " unit! Remember, though, mine was just a $100...and I had to have a prescription too! I probably wouldn't have gotten one if it would have cost me thousands of dollars. But it truly does help me! I should keep it with me all the time! The neat thing about the Nikken TENS unit is that you can acupunture/zap your ears in many different points! This is so great because your ear is actually connected with EVERY PART of your body! So a spot on there represents all of your part that are aching! Think of it like a small embryo curled up.....it just would be upside down if you heald it up to your ear. So each of the body parts are the same as if you took that embryo and held it upside down...for example, the spin is along the outer part of your ear...and head would be at your ear lobe. So basically, when I'm so desparately hurting...I make sure I zap all the points on my ear! It does the trick without zapping everything in particular (although I do this too, but this takes even longer!). It definitely helps me. I'd look into it more If I was you! It might just give you some more relief!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Kacey, I guess it's worth a shot. Do all TENS work the same - to do what you were talking about to your ear? It sounds kind of weird, but I'll try just about anything!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I can't speak for all TENS units...I'm assuming that they all don't work with the ear. I just think everything's different...and I think that sometimes there are cables and stuff and you hook up a part of your body to a machine. I've heard about this option too.
