Interesting that no one seems to like the tens unit. My wife got one after our auto accident which we both got severe whip lash. My wife had intense back pain and the hooked her up to a tens unit. She said at first the set it to high and it was making her jump all over the place! (since this happened at the same time to both my wife and I we are good friends with our PT now!) My wife's PT did this on purpose just to see her jump he said! :~) We all got a good laugh out of it untill they wanted to put one on me! I said NO WAY! I've worked as an electronic technician for the past 15 years and have had enough high voltage shocks! Anyway... my wife liked it when it's set to the right voltage, current and pulse rate. What it does is stress (or rather fatigue) the muscles so that it numbs the nerves and kills the pain. Thats all it does tho. Releives the pain. It does NOT do any healing! I've heard from other electronic techs that feel it has healing power for all sorts of health problems but I'll believe it when I see it! I know, I'm a skeptic! Anyway, if you know someone good at electronics, there are kits out there where you can build one for your self for about 5 dollars, yep, 5 bucks!!!! I'm sure there is one posted on the web somewhere you could at least read about!
good luck,
