I want to know more about TENS stimulation

I had neuropathy in my right arm. My fingers were numb and my arm would basically go dead every time I threw a baseball or lifted heavy weights. It turned out I had thoracic outlet syndrome. I had the surgery for it which removed my top rib and cut out my outer scalene muscle on April 8th. My neuropathy is gone. So some types of neuropathy can be cured I guess. I still have moderate neuropathy in my feet and believe it is due to the severe spinal stenosis in my lumbar spine. I’m probably going to have a minor decompression surgery in a few months to see if it helps. It makes sense that I have multiple bone spurs rubbing and compressing nerves in my lower back, and my numb feet started in conjunction with the stenosis a couple of years ago. I think it’s time to update those anatomy and physiology books! Then again, doctors still don’t believe that my tos surgery also cured my brain fog. As if entrapped blood vessels and arteries that supply blood to your brain wouldn’t help brain fog when alleviated. That’s what I love about science. It keeps changing.

That was probably caused by nerve compression is what it sounds like. Mine first started when I got mrsa bacterial spinal meningitis. There is not one person truly cured of neuropathy. I worked as a RN. for a neuromuscular neurologist he told patients up front you can’t be cured from neuropathy. There are other doctors that say the same thing. Neuropathy caused by nerve compression is different. Which is what you had. When they released the nerve it went away. Luckily you didn’t have permanent nerve damage. Were you ever tested for small fiber neuropathy?
True neuropathy is caused by diabetes, autoimmune diseases, idiopathic, toxins.
