Default Tens placement

Hi guys,

I'm new here and had a search around but I couldn't find the answer to my question, nor could I on the internet

I've had Meralgia for at least 16 years, I've had this confirmed by my GP after MRI's etc.

Thankfully it doesn't pain me too much, usually only after long extended periods without sitting down. I'm not overweight, nor a smoker and don't wear tight fitting clothes or any of the other typical reasons to suffer from this. The main source of complaint other than the occasional dull quite severe pain is the constant numbness and tingling in my left outside thigh, above the knee and extending about half way up, sometimes more if it's affecting me.

Anyway, I have a tens unit and was hoping to give this a shot, can anyone advise where to place the pads? The machine I have has 4 pads in total, although I believe it can be used with 2 if you choose.

Thanks
