do you use one and is it a TENS or something else? I am thinking a microcurrent system might help

I tried a TENS unit for my Degenertive Disc in my neck. I had to have it pumped up so high it made my body twitch in areas. It didn't work for me but I never discourage anyone from giving it a try. :-)

I tried one for a short time. It seem to irritate me more. I had used mine on a trial bases and it went back. Lol

I occasionally use a tens unit for my back and hip when I am having problems. It seems to help alot. I am just careful to not leave the electrodes in the same area for very long, or turn it up too high. I find it to be a good alternative to medications.

Everyone is so different.

I tried a tens unit twice over the years and it didn't do anything for me.

Good luck to you.

There are a few people that seem to get results from a TENS unit.  I tried it in physical therapy for a couple of weeks and it didn't do much of anything for me, either.

Hello Sherrine and All!

Just wanted to pop in and say that there are two different types of Ten's units, each one using a different frequency targeting different problem areas. If you are considering one of these units, do your research and look at the difference in these. Some patients seem to get great results from them…and others not. I have used them in the past, and got mixed results, but would consider them again when needed.
