TENS unit for UC?

I own one and was wondering if anyone has used this for ulcerative colitis cramping/pains? I'm giving it a test run since I am unable to take Tylenol as a pain killer.

For those who do not know what this, it is a Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and basically sends electrical signals to your nerves.

Many years ago (decades) I was being helped by a very skilful Acupuncturist who was interested in using a TENS machine to activate points along the 'meridians'. I designed a basic model for him - long before they became so cheap and popular!
Since then I have always kept one on hand. They are excellent for relieving deep muscular pain, and also for general relaxation (I do not use it for triggering acupuncture points.)
The only advice I would offer is that they be used on the lowest setting, and that usage always feels comfortable. The body is a sensitive thing.
If you are trying to relieve cramping pain, it may well be of benefit (I found it to be.) Place the electrodes on either side of the region that you want to treat. Be gentle.

Good luck.

I considered a tens last year when my neuropathy was bad and then again recently for my numb thigh. Might be worth the investment. Im curious if it helps you.
