Has anyone had success with TENS machines and massagers on the market?

Hi - I am asking this for my husband! Where do you put the tens pads on your legs. He uses a tens for his back - and it helps a lot. His neuropathy is not painful but his legs tingle *heavy tingle* and he has trouble sleeping because of it - he was diagnosed at Mayo about 5 or 6 years ago. He is also having trouble with balance and walking.
Thank you

I have found that the location has to be varied until you find the best spot. I initially got best results by starting with the bottom of the feet and then going to ankles, etc. Electrical intensity needs to be varied also. Exercise always helps

I am not a doctor but I needed something for my restless leg and was given by my doctor the medication "pramipexole". I think it helps with tingling in the legs. Like anything it does have side effects but they are manageable.You might want to visit with your doctor and do not forget the exercise like a stationary bike.
