Default Update and TENS question

I have actually been having a run of good luck with my RSD. There is a big improvement in the sensitivity and my mobility is very good. I am still off work trying to get some strength back. Still have discoloration at times and still have areas of patchy numbness and burning. I took myself off of MSContin (WOW did that suck) and am decreasing my Lyrica and so far so good.
Now my concern is pain control for my eventual return to work. I know that once I get back into the ICU my sympathetic will be firing like crazy, but I don't want to do a SCS since I am improving and it's too soon. My pain doc thinks that a TENS unit might be helpful. Anyone have any experience with TENS units and RSD pain?
