Need to purchase a TENS unit

[Guest guest]

I have recently started pain management as my upper back pain is so

excrutiating. It was recommended that I buy a TENS unit. Of course my

insurance doesn't cover it as it is considered " experimental " . I was

told that it would cost me $500 out of pocket to buy, but I don't have

the money to pay for it. Considering I had two surgeries and multiple

trips to the ER this year, we are struggling financially as it is. I

know they would be willing to let me make payments, but this time of

year, I am struggling to get by as it is without having another

monthly bill. I won't be able to take on another bill for quite a few

months. Does anyone know of any other options out there I may have

that is more affordable or a way to convince the insurance to cover

it?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and hope you are all

having a pain free day!
