I got a weepy itchy rash from the electode pads. I was prescribed steroid cream that only helped a tad. I ended up getting weird rashes and itching on random areas of my body and am now on a oral steroid that is working very well. Just curious if anyone has had this happen. Surgeon said to stop wearing the stimulator all together after I tried cutting back on wearing it and rotating where the electrodes were applied.

Consider using the machine by shortening how long you are on the machine
If you are using high intensity settings that can give you a type of rach that can be quite painful, it is generally like a red mark on the skin.
Consider when setting the output try not to make the pads to stay on one certain point, consider use the pads at a distance, middle to place the pads, this will act as a nerve blockwhere the pain is. If you are using pads with jel on them change the pads between treatments this also prevents TENS RASH.
