I want to know more about TENS stimulation

Hi CB, Wished I could tell you something different but there is no cure for neuropathy. There are a lot of different treatments for the symptoms of neuropathy and there are a lot of so called neuropathy "cures" on the market looking to sell you a cure. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to do our own research to help us decide what might work for us.

Quite a few members have posted their experience with TENS units. Here's a link that lists the discussions and comments by members - https://thejournalofheadacheandpain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s10194-025-02031-1. Here's an article that provides more information on TENS use.

I only have numbness with my neuropathy and did try a medical grade TENS unit, a Zopec DT-1200 ( https://www.zopec.com/products/zopec-electrotherapy-for-neuropathy-and-pain). I used it for about 3 months but it didn't help the numbness for me. My wife was curious and tried it for about 10 seconds and didn't like the zapping she got from it. If you haven't seen the list of complementary and alternative therapies on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy, you might want to see if there is something that might help you - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.

Excellent. Thank you, John. I appreciate you sharing both you and your wife's experiences. I'd like to hear more like that from others. I went to the MFR link you gave me and quite honestly, the principals are on the line of accupressure to me. But it's all good. I want to stop hurting so I can get back to walking again. Hugs to everybody
