For pain it is suppossed to block the pain signals to the brain, and for reduced swelling and healing of wounds and fractures it is suppossed to be mainly due to increased blood circulation. How did you get a tens machine? Was it prescribed by a doctor for your PN? or for something else? Ask the doctor who prescribed it if its ok to use on your PN if it wasnt prescribed for that.

Nope, it was prescribed by my doctor and the physical therapist for my back (I have degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis and disc dessication and arthritis). I did ask my doctor before I tried it on my feet though, and he said it was.
