relax... and enjoy the pain!

I just broke down and aquired a home tens machine...it's portable, multiple functions, and kinda cool to play with...

just don't use the manipluation mode on too high a power-I tried it on my forearm, and my wrist bent to maximum flexion...then my fingers started to twitch on thier own...FREAKY!!

But my knees feel so much better after a 15 minute session!!


oh yeah-they have yet to pass the med boards for approval in the US, so you can only get them from overseas.

( I await the jokes, cause resistance is futile!! LOL ):D:p

I have had one for at least 10 yrs, that my insurance paid for.
I'm in the US.

He must be referring specifically to the machine that he acquired as there have been a number available in the states for years.

Are we talking about these types of devices??

Electrotherapy Devices — TENS Unit, Muscle Stimulator, Interferential Units, Microcurrent devices can help control pain! (http://www.medicalproductsonline.org/electrotherapy2.html?gclid=COKJm424upQCFQOeFQod-lIMUQ)

Some good deals there! 699.00 on sale for 59 bucks???? Looks like there was a time when these things made some big profits for the sellers!!

Let me understand, you put it on your arm and your knee feels better???
Maybe I need one of those for neck!

LOL!!

The portable one I have is not much bigger than a remote control for your tv. I used to get treatments from a unit, but it was the size of a medium suitcase.

I tried it out first on my arm...just to test it out and see what it can do for such a small unit...8 modes of treatment, and 15 levels of intensity.

I use it regularly on both knees. Nice, compact, and fits in your pocket...but only two pads... : (

Mine was like the Micro ll there.
It was the size of a pack of smokes.
Worked pretty good for my lower back.
I used to have it on when I was working.
