Just heard about a new over the counter TENS unit on the market made by NeuroMetrix who makes the prescription SENSUS TENS pain management system. It was named one of the 25 Hot Products of 2015 at the recent Consumer Electronics Show, and was one of four Best of Show candidates in the health and fitness category. It's much more expensive than the Icy Hot one, but apparently is twice as powerful and is even FDA approved for use at night.

It comes with a 60 day money back guarantee in case you're one of the people it doesn't help. At $250, that's helpful.

I'm trying to understand why someone would go OTC to get the device when a doc could write a prescription for the other one and at least have it goes towards your deductible or get partial payment for it. Are docs stingy with the scripts for TENS units, or are they not covered for things like SFN?
