I wanted to thank you for your videos especially about sciatic pain. One of your videos about it helped me so much that I hardly feel pain anymore. It’s about keeping right posture at all times even when sitting on the couch. OMG that did it for me! I even got back support for my car seat and I use to feel pain sitting in my car all the time. Thank you so much!!!!

When I broke my clavical, I went to the hospital, then to the doctor and was sent to the physical therapist. I thought, he can't do anything to help, I can't move and not supposed to move it. Well, he was the nicest most compassionate Care giver I had been to. He loaned me a tens machine! He changed the batteries and pads right there in front of me. He Showed me how to place the pads and work the machine, and told me something that kept me using it. Not only will it help with the pain (a broken clavicle is very painful), but stimulates the bone to heal, and keeps the muscles from atrophy. So I used it and it was great! Thank you for your videos. I can tell you are kind and compassionate care givers

They are so cheap now compared years ago. It's a matter of getting used to finding the spots where they work the best for your particular pain. You have to do some experimentation. Good luck and hope you do better.

When I had rotator cuff surgery I was on Perkocet and Morphine and still crying with pain. My surgeon ordered a tenns unit for me. It was delivered and applied. WOW!!! What relief! I had to have surgery on the other rotator cuff 6 months later and I started using the tenns unit as soon as possible. I have used it for severe back pain that prescription pain medicine wouldn't relieve. I have also used it on my tennis elbow. I weigh a little over 300 lbs so that debunks what they say about it not working on over weight people.

I also have osteoarthritis in both knees and right ankle. I have been using my TENS unit off and on for about six months. It seems to give relief for the arthritis but not the pain from the edema.

I do have one of those nerve stimulator implants - mine has leads that are attached to the vagus nerve and regulates things to keep my brain from going into what was called A Broken Record player and causing a seizure - it has made a huge difference in my life because I don't have the wild fluctuations in pulse rate and blood pressure that I once did. A little while ago I looked at one of those lower-end TENS units that are sold in drug stores for lower back pain, I had one of those contraindications, and I was like, well pooh on that! I wasn't too thrilled about spending my money on it anyway, so it went back onto the shelf.

@blessings2you435 5 лет назад

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! FYI: TENS MACHINES save me when I have medium level pain: like 1-5 out of 10 (on the 1-10) pain scale. I find that it REALLY HELPS with water retention & swelling at injury sites, because: when an area hurts we tend to NOT MOVE it. That means we don't flex the muscles at that site. THAT causes water retention. The TENS activates the muscles in the injured area and the excess water is "flexed out", thus reducing swelling. It works miracles for me with that application. Just sayin'... Keep up your fabulously positive interactions with us, your audience. Your smiles, etc., make me feel so good. I actually get goose bumps on my neck & shoulders when I watch you two!!! Endorphins always feel WONDERFUL!!! Thanks for the good vibes, guys! ☮️

Great question. Security may stop you & confiscate it if they don't know what it is. Talk to your doctor & see about getting a dr's note from him/her or a "prescription" written up stating the instructions & necessity of the TENS unit as a medical device. Then call the airline and speak with them first. Even after all that, get to the airport EARLY in case you are delayed because of the device. It's a hassle but for good reason. I mean it's an electronic device with wires coming in and out of it.

I'm not a doctor, but I am familiar with TENS. NEVER directly on the spine! One pad on each side of the spine on either side of the disc. If using 4 pads (2 channels) place the first pair of pads one on each side of the spine above the damaged disk. The 2nd pair goes one on each side of the spine just below the damaged disk.

@sarahhiggins6280 3 года назад

@marillion1 3 года назад

I work for Tenscare and the advice below is not entirely correct - there should be no issue putting the electrode on your spine - in fact electrode placement is very much experimental. Tens units have been around for years and the number of safety problems are minute.Always start with a low current and intensity - the current doesn't penetrate the fat layer - if any doubt seek a doctor's advice.

The thing I have seen to work wonders and really fast is wet cupping!

@syedmuhammaddanielhassnain5990 4 года назад

A good wet cupping therapist can deal with that within half an hour. I am sincerely advicing you. I have been a wet cupping therapist for years and I have seen these type patients that can barely move... And after wet cupping it's one time they stand up and move.

Syed Muhammad Daniel Hassnain Thank you very much for answering me. I will look into it. Have any idea where they might practice it?

Ive heard of many using the TENS on their "reproductive organs" as it is an alternative to drugs like VIAGRA or any male enhancing medication(s). Perhaps we can rephrase this term a bit better?

I work for Tenscare and I have seen no evidence of Tens helping Erectile Dysfunction.However we sell a device called Shockwave and there is plenty of evidence this works - I have even demonstrated it to 2 Urology surgeons who want to trial it. It is not a home user machine however.

Is the TENS any good for tendonitis pain?

@hello-again6994 5 лет назад

I think so. I saw a few videos with TENS and tennis elbow therapy.

I got electrical burns from a tens unit.

@paulaw418 4 года назад

It was faulty or else the pads were too thin & had the wires otherwise exposed in them. If the gel pad is too thin the wires can make direct contact with the skin. Ouch!

What would happen if you put a pad on each temple and ran the current through my brain? I saw how a guy got head injury and now he can play the piano like a master. I want to zap my brain and hopefully wake up a savant.

@VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0 Год назад

So, I'm really confused, is it or is it not ok to put it on facial and neck muscles? Because I'm seeing people do that anyway and be just fine. Has anyone died recently from using this device? Has anyone had a seizure or stroke using this thing? What exactly would happen if you use this device for your facial muscles? I have chronic neck and TMJ pain, I want to make sure I'm not going to kill myself doing this.

I tried TENS and it didn't do anything for my pain but it did lighten my wallet. What does help is taking 100 mg of DHEA, eating low carb, daily walking, restful sleep, keeping stress down and stretching. Those helped me far more than this over-priced contraption.

@alyssahubbell5160 3 года назад

I love my tens unit. It helped my period cramps, makes me feel like I’m getting massaged, it’s relaxing, and I think I’m gonna buy my sis one because it can help with IBS apparently.

@THIS---GUY 3 года назад

what was your injury that wasn't helped by TENS? I have cured pain in knees, elbow and neck with help from TENS

@AlysonWhite 5 лет назад

Joanne Bohan they have special TENS units for labour in the U.K.. They are different than the ones for pain. The NHS maternity units use them for the initial stages of labour. Some hospitals provide them, otherwise you can hire them as well. This is not a common thing found in the US.

@@AlysonWhite how do tens machines differ lol its just an electric current through a pad

I guess you would have had your baby by now but check out Perfect Mama Tens by Tenscare - it is designed to help with Labour pain.
