TENS Unit

Unfortunately they dont work too well for me. I used one in rehab for pain relief and it didnt help..but i do know they help many people deal with their pain.

It may do Knight but if you are lower motor neurone like me then anything like FES wont work....unfortunately but its def worth a try

used for an Erection ???- ive never heard of this being used for that - I own an TENS/EMS unit - im curious now... but im thinkin im scared to attach the pads to my unit LOL... tell me more pls 

very first post in this section from Knight

TENS is used to cause white noise in your nerves to overwhelm the pain sensor impulses so your brain will disregard the pain signals as noise. Set to the proper frequency a TENS device can be very helpful to reduce, not remove, pain.

An EMS unit (Some TENS devices have them built in) is for muscle stimulation. Don't try to use them for each other's purposes. It rarely helps.

I currently own a TENS/IFS unit that works much better for nerve pain than the original TENS did. I use it on my neck and lower back at low settings and it takes the edge off enough to allow me to take low doses of narcotics for pain management. The power output on my current TENS goes to 175ma at level 20. I normally use it on level 3.

If a normal TENS doesn't do anything for you try a TENS/IFS and see if that helps. It does for me.

Great info truwrecks!

jimmyt, I don't think that'd be a good idea! I can imagine it'd feel like you were pissing on an electric fence (I've never tried but I can only imagine how painful it is)
