This is my first attempt at using a forum, so apologies in advance if I've posted incorrectly.

My response is for the member who is concerned about using a TENS machine for neuropathy. I particularly wanted to respond to the member's concern about using a heat pad whilst using a Fentanyl patch. You certainly should not place a heat pad over the patch or the result could be a fatal overdose, but I use a 75mcg/hour patch on my upper arms and frequently apply a heat pad to my lower back. I'm not medically qualified to give such advice, but I would recommend the member speak with their specialist because it would be a great shame if they are going without much needed heat relief.
