Hi Desinie,
I go to a chiro and he has attempted to use the tens unit for me...
HUGE NO NO....
for me the tingling sensation only made my already tingling hands worse and made the back spasams "tens" time worse (sorry for the pund lol)

I also take the tramadol, only I take it 3 times a day along with zanaflex and I also take cymbalta which helps with the neuropthy pain as well.

I would love to hear how it works out for u.......
