What (general) setting are you using? I've found a pulse setting better for my spasms - it pounds on them until they give up & let go - but my wife just doesn't like the pulse, and I haven't been able to find anything else that works well on either of us.

hi Doc,

The physiotherapist set my tens to 110 us (pulse width) and 150 Hz (Frequency) on the normal mode. I don't like the pulse much either, makes me jump. lol. But this setting seems to work for me.

Default Klonopin
Ok, I saw my Pain doc yesterday. I told him that I was prescribed Klonopin by another doctor for a different issue. He was ok with it and even thought that it might help with the spasms.

Has anyone else had success with Klonopin and back spasms?
