Dear Jacksie77,

I used a TENS unit for my MP for about a month but ceased using it since I did not obtain any relief. As far as placement, I would suggest you ask the physician that ordered the unit for you or his nurse. I placed the pads near the top and bottom of the area of my thigh that was affected the most if I recall. It has been a long time since I used my unit. I don't recall the specifics since it has been a long time since I used it.

Wishing you better days. Try your best to avoid the things that will trigger bad episodes. Sit as often as possible if standing brings on episodes. Shift your weight to the opposite leg if you must stand.

Having had MP for many many years, I personalized "the beast" and found that when I made it angry (by standing or walking), it (the LFCN) basically told me who was boss. The more you aggravate the LFCN, the worse it gets and will become constant and no longer need a trigger or aggravating factor. It can become constant rather than intermittent.

Calming the nerve is the only way I have found any relief. The less you aggravate it, the better it will treat YOU. Good luck.
