David said " .... from all reports that these units offer relief when connected, but don't effect any improvement in the underlying condition."
As I was told, by a fellow walker, who used one 24/7, that is all the TENS units are intended to do and that is block pain signals to the brain. He said a lot of experimentation is needed with the setting up and positioning of the electrodes for them to be effective. To me he was a Hero and I told his wife that: he was badly stooped and had broken his spine in two places going over the handlebars of a racing bike decades ago. Now with nothing left to help him TENS was better than continual pain killers. But fully active, and now in late 60's, still hill walking, windsurfing and even back on a bike. A fellow well met and he urged me not to give up windsurfing whilst I was still able. "Age is just numbers".
