Just a thought about the TENS unit. When the physical therapist first gave it to me I tried it on every setting sand it only increased my pain-big time! One time it reduced me to tears, sweats, rapid breathing, etc. I then called the company and spoke with a company physical therapist who mailed me a protocol for CRPS of the upper limb, (which ended up being useless) and also walked me through reprograming one of the settings. Before I hung up the phone I was getting relief.
Hope this is helpful.
