I want to know more about TENS stimulation
TENS means transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. "A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) sends electrical pulses through the skin to start your body's own pain killers. The electrical pulses can release endorphins and other substances to stop pain signals in the brain. TENS can reduce pain."
This sounds good but I am still at the level of curiosity coupled with fear. Can TENS cause brain damage? And what's this about too much B6 causing more damage? I don't see how we can group everybody's metabolic systems into one clump. Can this stimulator cure PN? How long does the pain level stay at bay? How many treatments do you need and how often? I've seen the machines at Amazon. Would a neurologist have them in their office? Will this stimulator work on lumbar multilevel degenerative disc disease?
We do not have a neurologist in this whole county. And I'm not keen on traveling long distances to see one. And I just learned our Podiatrist is leaving so I need to find the new one who is replacing him. Your support is greatly accepted at all levels. Thanks. CB

You have a philosophical mind. And I appreciate listening to you. Thanks for being in my corner. CB
Thanks for link, Gus. I'll look through it.
Thank you CB for your reply. I'm just a fool in constant search for wisdom in everything.
Take care.
You're most welcome.
I bought a TENS unit from Oxiline.com. It zaps quite well. It was a bit more $ than Azamon, but my DC said some of his patients were getting these and thought they were good. I may have thrown away $50 extra dollars, but so what. I think TENS and various supplements help. It takes decades to develop neuropathy, so it may take a long time to fix it. My best for you!
