Has anyone tried using a TENs machine? If so, was it any help?

I got my TENs machine a few month ago. First month I didn't feel much difference but I continued and I think it is helping me. I have to take max dose of painkiller as well as TENs machine but before TENs machine I still had a lot of pain even though I took max dose of painkiller. With TENs machine and painkiller I can manage to live.

I would recommend you to have a go. Take care xx

My TENS machine is really helpful sometimes, so much so that I've just bought a small wireless one so I can use it at work... haven't tried that one yet though. Definitely worth a try I would say.

Thanks, I think I'll give it a try. Mefenamic acid doesn't really help, can't take tramadol, Makes me feel AWFUL, and codeine makes me constipated, which just makes my bowel symptoms worse . Just started on decapeptyl again, so hoping for some relief in a few weeks. Just fed up feeling rubbish all the time!
