What is a T.E.N.S. unit?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

A T.E.N.S. (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit doesn't work to

give relievea my type of neuropathy pain. Many members in the group use one,

with great success. I have a dear friend who uses one, and loves hers.

A physical therapist, should show you exactly how to use one for the maximum

affect.

Here is a link the explains more about what one is:

Here is another link with very reasonable prices. You might check with your

insurance company to see if they will pay for one. If not these are at

reasonable prices. I can't believe how tiny they are be now.

I have had some limited success with a T.E.N.S. unit; for me, it can

help immensely or not at all, depending on the type of pain and where

it is.

Your physician may be able to let you try one before buying to see if

it is effective in your particular case.

Take care,

My physical therapist had used a tens on my shoulder. It helped some

when they used it. But that was right before I stopped PT. I went

for 7 months. I kept telling my doctor that the physical therapy

actually made the pain worse but the doctor insisted that I continue

going. I had no choice but to go since it was a workmen's comp case.
