OMG this thing is like a miracle drug. i started using it today and i can stand,walk and get up from sqauting without difficulty. earlier today i could barely move.

Snookie:
What placement of the electrodes works best for you? My PT person just seemed to think I should experiment with the TENS to see what worked best for my PN.
I'm not sure it's helping any , but I keep trying.

I'm not Snookie. I put the electrodes where I hurt the most, that day. It may be a little or a lot different. If the arthritis is acting up in my shoulder, zap! My knees,zap! Lumbar, oh yeah.

If you can experiment with the different settings on your unit that may help too.
