Default Help...how to find right setting on remote?

Hi all. Well, here I sit with two remotes. At first I thought I had found the right settings for my lumbar and cervical stimulators, but yesterday proved me wrong. So I started wondering how others decide when they've found their right setting. Do you increase the intensity until you REALLY feel the stimulation? Do you increase the intensity until you barely feel it? Or do you increase the intensity until you feel it and then back off a bit until you don't feel it?

Do you think I'm expecting too much as far as pain relief with it only being a week since surgery? I'm wondering if having the intensities on the remotes set too high may actually cause me to hurt more. How, oh how, does one find that right setting
