TENS UNIT

[Jeaniem130]

Has anyone found TENS unit to be helpful in alleviating back pain?

Nit fir back pain. But I used on my knee for pain and it helped. Little did I know I had fractured my knee. Which I found out after. But all the sane it helped loads.

Yes very much so. There are times when mine has saved my sanity as I try to keep medication to a minimum

I think TENS is a very personal thing, and it may also depend on what kind of pain you have as well. I found it useful when I was giving birth, but it was horrible and made things worse when I had nerve damage in my foot. My son has one too, and he tried it for rib pain, but found the wires and unit were more of a bother compared to the amount of pain it stopped.

So it is horse for courses!

Has anyone read that a TENS should not be used if you have hardware in your spine?
