Everyone is different...but I also think the settings matter and where you place the electrodes is important too. I'm no expert and can only speak about my own experiences though. I do know some people don't respond well to TENS and then there was one person I spoke to who had a bad reaction to TENS but then changed the settings and it have her relief. I know for me too I also start at the lowest setting I can on the TENS and then bump it up throughout the treatment gradually as I tolerate the level I'm at. If you already had a bad reaction though I would make sure any future trials with one (if there are any) are done under the supervision of a physical therapist or doctor. Doesn't work for everyone but for me it was/is a life saver.

I was at pt when it happened each time. For hours after the nerve pain was worse as was my sensitivity. Glad you get relief though.. just shows how different we all are when it comes to what works.:grouphug:
