I had a tenz unit delivered today. I hope it helps with my legs. If anyone has any information about what settings work best would you please let me know.

100 Hz and a pulse width of 200 μs,   according to the trials I read up on.   That's for spasticity.   Pain,  I couldn't tell you. 

The pulse width is important, more so for EMS. 

I spent years playing around with TENS.   So much so,  I can't use it anymore.   I've permanently sensitised my skin.  Get electrical burns something chronic.   Use plenty of gel,  don't scrimp on the gel.   Forget the self adhesive pads.   

I don't think there is a magic frequency,  I tried them all.   I did like a modulated TENS, ramping up and down through the frequencies. 

TENS is good.   The company that had the patent made billions from it.   I keep meaning to try Galvanic Stimulation.  I'll likely try cold laser treatment first. 

Keep us all informed,  pine_knot.
