Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Jeanne, I hadn't thought to try my TENs unit! My physical therapist I used (where I got it) said that the pads can be used multiple times before they need replacing. I do know the TENs unit uses batteries so perhaps those batteries died? I have a place to order more of the pads, but haven't had to do so yet.

Many of you have mentioned that your TENS unit just stopped working. So I was curious, did you regularly replace the pads that stick on your skin? > Jeanne in WI > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Jeanne and Darlene, I use my pads more than 4 times but I switch them often. The sticky part needs to get cool again in order to adhere well. I use both a tens and a muscle stimulator, often at the same time in different places.
