Im still open to the idea, but the % rate is low,when you actually talk to other patients who have one. I dont know if a TENS unit is a gage to whether a person is in SMP or SIP,,because that unit helps some,,but it inflamed me,,maybe its because im in RSDII causagia..that is the only corraltion that i can see,,,I really appreciate your insight and replies to you KS and evryone else,,I just dont want to make a vast mistake,,,,any other input on this matter is well appreciated,,,thank you ,,,,,,,Bobber P.S your concern about the installation may have caused the spread,,,,my take on it is any trauma to the body can and will induce spread,,but my opion is leaning more on the unit be turned on,thats causeing the spread....
