T.E.N.S. Unit: WARNINGS about T.E.N.S.! 

What brand did you use

@@jna3184 LG3000 analog

I have been using my TENS 7000 for the past 20 years whenever my L4, L5, S1 start sending pain from the back down into my buttocks and down my legs. IT IS A LIFESAVER !! I use it for about 30 min at a time, sometimes I might use it 3 x in the day and VOILÀ, no more excruciating pain. I might put on a cream mixture of Diclofenac ( now sold over the counter) and a cream that has CBD in it ( also sold in a little shop nearby, legally), Icy Hot, Arnica salve and some comfrey salve or liquid. I mix this up very well and put it in an airtight container then use it sparingly on the lower back. The proper proportions of each are up to you !!

I bought the TENS 7000, the least expensive and simplest ( you just need the unit to regulate the time and strength of output). The last one I bought as a gift was approx $20 and get lots of sticky pads ( about $15 for 50). Much cheaper than going to your Chiropracter that you have on speed dial.

Michael Johnson , which tens unit did you purchase

I agree , i.e. chiropractors are for people with good backs who want to keep them that way. I have had the same unit that was given to me after my fusion surgery ( what a dumbass mistake they was ) anyway I saw one over the counter @ Walgreens. Can’t remember what price just was reasonable. With or without just search here for therapy but be careful & never go near a neurosurgeon.

Wow. this video came up on my recommended and i clicked it with the solely becasue I wanted to see if this comment was here. Just bought a TENS and it is the best thing I have ever spent money on.

That is rich, you know more than the doctors? Let me guess, you like red baseball caps? LOL the craziest people always think they are sane and the stupidest people apparently have no idea they are stupid (and sadly, get to vote and type annoying comments on RU-vid)

😂

Baahahahah!

Every time I go to their channel that damn song gets stuck in my head alllll day! 😆

😂😂😂

Ivermectin saved millions

It's confusing, I found some resources stating it's possible. But other say is not.

Its not advisable to do so , dosnt mean its not possible , i know i wouldnt want to try with mine its real strong and dont want to fry anything in head or eyes even low setting

I apply TENs to my temples on max while goon 🧠

Its electro lobotomy 😂

Paid $99 for mine years ago 😂

@@MrWhitelightning73 I got a prescription TENS unit with a lot of pads at a yard sale 30 years ago for $10. I asked the gal twice if she was sure she wanted to sell it. I suspect it belonged to her ex husband. Years later I asked my fairly new doctor to prescribe some more pads. He lost his shit, demanded to know how and why I had a prescription only medical device without a prescription. I ended up firing him to his face & walking out over his behavior the next visit. He should have thought to prescribe me one for my bad neck & back long before I told him I had one. Instead he was a dick about it all, as if I was taking someone else's prescription drug. It's nice to see they've lost control over such devices and that they're now available and affordable to all. Now, if we could only get our own MRI machines for cheap....

Our pleasure! All my best to you! Take care! Bob

How much do they coast.?

MyREDTAIL There is a huge price difference. I paid around GBP300 for mine but you can get them for from GBP10 - depends on the quality you are looking for.

Alan Heath Does your arm twitch like crazy when it's on? Mine does. Never seen my arm twitch THAT hard and fast before. it's kinda gross. haha

It certainly does, particularly on the higher levels. The 'acupuncture' setting is the worst!

Alan Heath Okay thanks for the reply my man! And yeh, it was on the high levels. Now I don't feel so weird since it happens to others too. haha

Got my 1st one from the VA also. Walmart now has one that is their own brand, "Equate", that is EXTREMELY simple to operate and comes with FOOT PADS for less than $25 😊 Soooooo awesome if you suffer any kind of foot pain.

😆

Millenials kinda NEED to be told these common sense things though lol!

@@maribelarzola6351 ok boomer

They mention not putting them on the carotid arteries, but perhaps people don't know where they are.

He said stay away from it all in that area

Thanks for watching!

Yes, I would talk to surgeons but there is a chance that he has perhaps a long term neuropathy... You want to check with them of course if the Tens unit would be safe to use but I can tell you that I was in a horrible headon collision major injuries and just recently after unrelenting pain for 9 yrs. I bought a Tens unit to use on right foot, which had severe pain and neuropathy and while I had it on it helped with the burning, numbness, and tingling and after taking it off after awhile it would come back. I finally ended up getting my Marijuana Certification in AZ. and it was recommended to me to us a topical Marijuana cream on the foot as long as I use it once per day I am 90% better which is a major miracle because I was in tears with this pain, I was irritable all the time due to the pain, it has also reduced my blood Pressure 15 points on both ends, but I also want to continue using the Tens as well which I think would help that little bit more.... Good luck

" Symptoms reside over time" Do you mean subside?

Get a defib and mount it on the wall in your home, an amazing company called cellAed has made an affordable single use one with a 4yr warranty on the battery for around $300-400 pretty amazing to have that in a home and safe a life

need same

+physicaltherapyvideo okay

+Lexi Sierra I'd see a Dr about that. Better than the fire challenge though-

I have used a TENS unit for yrs and now a spinal cord stimulator and never had an issue, I'd ask you're doc though.

I can vouch for that it is sheer agony . I hope it goes away soon but I would ask your doctor before you use a TENS on that.

it’s fine

No. Not near any metal rods, plates or pins!

yes

Ditto

ever read the news?

Kenneth Becker idiolts

I would reply but I have some on my eye;s right now

its funny to pretend to someone you put cucumber slices on their eyes but you zap them with a tens machine

I certainly would never use 2 in front and 2 in back... I can't remember if it said in video about don't put it through body at all or not but the instruction manuals say and show not to do that....... It is all common sense....

Kathleen Tripp Read my comment at the top of the vid. man I wish he saw this vid first...

what they mean is the trap muscle running down either side of the upper back neck area. if your confused use look at an anatomy chart and see the trapezius muscle

How is she now? I used it on my neck spine area aswell not knowing and I'm feeling confused with no coordination

Yes it would.

😂😂😂😂😂 omg

@@lataifinefeuiaki4598 update : I used it on my head and I was able to read Moby Dick in 1 day…thank you tens.🙏🏼

I've heard in some articles not to apply it to the front of the neck! Read up on it to be sure :)

nodresiak Read my comment at the top of this vid.

nodresiak You can drink its good for the digestion track.

There are a lot of articles and studies my MD's and PHD's that use TENS on facial muscles with no problems. None of them decry use on the temples, unless it is across temples (intercranial). Idiots are people who rely on "common sense" , not having the common sense to arm themselves with actual knowledge.

vonshango you’re about 8 years too late buddy

wet the feet

I have no callus under my feet...so do I put the tens unit where it hurts and for how long?

Common sense that you don't do anything that interferes with the carotid artery. If you don't know what it is or what it does or why you shouldn't mess with it, Google it. It's a short video, they're not going to give you every answer you want, they're just telling you areas not to put it. Don't be lazy, do your own research. Btw, my TENS unit instructions had the exact list of places not to use as Bob and Brad listed.

​@@kellycccI used it on my neck spine area without knowing it was bad and I'm feeling dizzy and confused. Should I be concerned?
