I have one and love it. However, for me, it does NOT work on nerve pain. Learned that one quickly. LOL. I've had mine for about 5 years now and use it when the spasms in my back get bad. I, fortunately, have not had to use it in quite a while; more likely because the meds.
I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Good luck! |

Thank you. I didn't think it would work for the nerve pain but I was hoping it would help with any other pain and keep me from having to use RX pain meds.

I'm glad that you, just like my DH and thousands of others, have found that it actually does work for nerve pain. I'm not sure how but I guess it interrupts the pain signal or something. All I can say is "thank you to the person who invented them". The TENS does not cure the pain, nor does it give long term pain relief, but it's a better way of getting short term analgesia that swallowing OTC, and/or Narcotic pain relievers by the dozen. I'm so glad it's giving you some relief Julie.
