Default TENS box for RSD

I just took home a TENS box from my PT. Has anyone had any luck with these? Are they meant for temporary relief or for actual long-term "healing" or calming of the nervous system in general?
My RSD pain only flares from weight-bearing and from compression of my foot (too-tight sock/shoe combos, for instance), so temp/touch/etc. aren't a problem for me. I've done TENS a few times already and it has neither bothered me nor made a discernible difference, but my pain hits low levels on its own anyway, so it's hard to tell.
Accounts of your experiences with it would be great!
Thanks,
Mimi
