Tens Unit

[Guest guest]

I just heard so much from you guys that I thought I would try to dig

out my very old tens unit and give it a try one time. I wonder what the

feeling is when I put it on, was it the stress of hooking it up or some

pain diminishing, but I actually felt like I needed to take deep

breaths and a little lighted headed.

I can`t remember, is there a limit to the time you can wear it? Is it okay to

try and wear it to bed?

I almost forgot I had one. i`m hoping it can help get me through the day. My

family is counting on me so much right now, and my house is starting to look

like no one is here to take care of it. It takes some time to get use the

little shocks doesn`t it. I`m just not sure which hurting part to hook it on. I

guess I need to experiment, right.!

Just thought I would let you know I made it through the night, and

home. Which was more than I thought I would last night. And thank all of you who

woke my brain up to the fact that I do have a tens.

Even if it doesn`t work it`s worth a try. Hope you all have a sunny beautiful

day, and I wish you all less pain,

Since I recently had one and returned it, I wanted to answer. You

cannot wear it over eight hours I was told, and there is some

limitations on what you have.

The newer units have larger pads than the old ones. I was also told

that you adjust the power but you do not go over a certain

amount.

I would look up the company on line that made your unit and look at the

instructions as what someone else is using there's for

might be different.

Everything I was told from the company, the representative, and my

physical therapist was DO NOT sleep with them on as you

cannot adjust it and do not know what is happening.

The new unit I got was programable for each area of the body and you

just set it on the picture. The new unit was so much

nicer than my old one, maybe you could exchange it for new one.

I hope you continue to have good relief with it and hope you get the

instructions to it. Bennie
