Last May when I had the Spasticity From Heck (felt like a giant invisible python wrapped around my ribs, squeezing me really hard, along with spazzies in my feet, and numbness just about everywhere) I stole my mom's TENS unit from her and put it on my ribs.

It was the only thing that made me feel a little bit better. Tazered that invisible python to try to get it to leave me alone. I had to turn that thing up almost all the way. (wouldnt recommend that, that hurts almost as much as the spazzies, but I was desperate. At least I could control the intensity of the TENS)

The TENS helped me somewhat, because when the spazzies were bad, I could slap that on and it would distract me from the weirdness and the pain from the spasticity. Psychologically I think it helped me more than physically. I still have mom's TENS and I've used it at least once or twice since then for annoying Hug pain. It does help sometimes.
