I have had the nerve blocks and the medications, even g he spinal stimulator. None have worked ( for me personally) My Drs gave up on me. I can't find a dr willing to research rsd to understand I am not out looking for pills because I am addicted but because I am actually in pain. There are side effects to almost everything these days. Do what makes you feel comfortable. If there is any doubt at all in you to not get the tens unit, dont! Until you are ready. I regret getting the stimulator. ( only because it does not work for me). Good luck!! Hope you find something that helps
