Everytime I come to this channel I am in excruciating pain. I will continue to fight though, been fighting this episode for about 8 weeks now. I just got a electric shock pad and an currently being shocked to throw off the pain. My heart goes out to anyone else fighting this very painful condition.

I was in pain for a whole month. I have mild scoliosis and siatica. I only recently found out because I woke up in excruciating pain in my mid back. I was given steroids, tramadol and muscle relaxers. Nothing helped. Physical therapy didn’t have an opening for 3 more weeks. And then my colleague mentioned the TENS machine. She brought it in to work and placed the pads all over the spasms I was experiencing in my mid back. After 30 minutes the sharp pain was gone and stayed gone. Although I wasn’t 100 percent better. I only felt some discomfort that was manageable with stretching and daily walks. Before that? I couldn’t sit longer than 5 minutes without being in intense pain. I had to constantly lay on the floor. This machine works!

I bought a TENS unit and it’s amazing!!! Not just for pain but helped my strain muscles start to heal after nothing else was working after I had a bad fall.

Thank you for this tens unit placement video. It was helpful for my right side sciatica pain.

I was diagnosed with sciatica a few days ago. I've been throwing everything at it I can. Hot packs medication Bob and Brad's exercise suggestion now trying TENs machine again. This time using Bob's and Brad's placement suggestion. Even if I could get some relief.

[patbenvenuti]

thanks guys, just purchased a Tech Care TENS unit for my sciatic issues/pain and your video helped guide me in the placement of the pads...thanks again !!

[AuDHD_Mom]

This channels Car Talk energy but with physical therapy 😂 love it!

I hope nobody misunderstands this video. The pads have to go on the SKIN, not the clothing. I don't use TENS anymore. For some reason the pains went away after a couple of weeks intensive use of my TENS instrument. I am nearly 90 so I do not believe the underlying disorder has been fixed. I think all that has happened is the over-excited nerves have become quieter.

This video was very helpful for how to place pads for my SI pain. Thank you!

Do these actually get rid of sciatica or piroformis syndrome? Or are they just pain blockers for masking the pain?

[jamiewinchester]

I used the tens machine for 2 weeks straight and it helped me TREMENDOUSLY. I had to call out 4 days. I couldn't even walk. I am pretty much pain free 6 weeks later
