"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

I have chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis and I use my TENS unit on my knees when they start getting really bad and I find that the vibrations from the unit help make the whole knee feel much more flexible and loose. It may just be a case of mind over matter - but who cares? I feel better and that's all that counts!

[shellycolson]

They used this at physical therapy the other day and now i can sleep at night with frozen shoulder ! After months of sleepless nights

I was prescribed one after a car accident and couldn't believe how much it helped. So much so that when I wound up with a pinched nerve in my shoulder/shoulder blade area last year, I bought one. Not surprising, it helped that too. I can't say enough good about TENS units.

Using it on your shoulders is the greatest just as an experiment. It helps me with my sciatic pain, as well, when the muscles start waving you know your pain is on it's way gone.

I’m a dental hygienist and I love my wireless TENS unit. The only thing is I have to have my husband help put it on my back and I have to be able to reach it to turn it on. But it helps greatly with pain! Mine was less than $50, well worth it.

It's quite funny that this video popped up as I'm studying for my TENS practical tomorrow. Great video!
For those interested and who want to use TENS, here are some contraindications: pacemakers (as mentioned by Bob & Brad), pregnancy, thrombosis, over malignant tumors, hemorrhagic conditions, and over the carotid sinus (neck area).

I'm watching this while using a TENS right now.

One of the only things that helps with my fibromyalgia

[tamsinthai]

Four separate orthopedists on four separate occasions have recommended TENS for my post surgical pain. They work. And it's not as though we can rely on remedial surgery now all of the blood's been tainted can we. Thanks sheep.

I've been using a TENs unit for 20 years - they work great for acute pain management. And they are great at parties if you want to mess with people. :)

[kathyclark]

I have a TENS unit which has different attachments for your back, feet, as well as the pads The unit itself has 8 different settings; it has been a life saver 👍👍😊

[DennisNowland]

It blocks it out and it is absolutely excellent. I was in nursing for 35 years so no I am not unscientific. I am not into quack cures at all. But it worked really well on my shoulder and back.

[GeezerGramps]

I love mine I’ve used it for shoulder, hip, & knee pain. My favorite modes art 4&5

[freddieruska]

I get muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders during migraine and using my TENS unit has made a world of difference.

[jdell]

Bought one off Amazon for $19.00 as a closeout. Works great for pain (TENS) and muscle stimulation (EMS). Using now.

[lspthrattan]

Oh wow I really need one of those units! Looks like just the thing for my chronic pain from a busted shoulder and humerus; thanks, I've been wondering just how they're used...good to have your word for it that they really work, too!

[dougable]

That themes song is so reassuring to hear the millionth time I’ve heard it over the years

[lisaa]

Thanks to the both of u for a simple explanation

[a.w.]

I’m using one right now on an inflamed back muscle. I’ve had it about 6 years. I don’t like using pain pills any longer than I absolutely have to. First time I used it my back was so bad, I could hardly stand straight and walk. Put the tens on and could walk normally!
