I'm so tired of taking so much medicine. My TENS unit helps a lot, but I hate walking around with cords dangling off me, and I don't use it as much as what might help me because the whole process is weird to me, the pads fall off, lose their stickiness, etc...
I'm thinking it might be a good option for a few years while nerves regenerate and muscles develop. I know that we experience pain because our bodies are trying to tell us something....but I've got that TOS pain message engraved in my soul.

Have you tried PEMF therapy? There is the Somapulse and there are less expensive variants, which is a portable unit. I don't know if they can rent it out for you try it. It has good results for pain relief. We've tried it at home and it does work for some amount of pain relief.
