I want to know more about TENS stimulation

I went through an EMG/NCV test at U of Chicago hospital by an experienced neurologist who diagnosed me with idiopathic sensory axonal polyneuropathy. So does that mean it isn’t true neuropathy because it was brought on by compressed nerves? I was also tested for autoimmune, toxins, and diabetes. All were negative. I agree most neuropathy can’t be cured. However I have also heard doctors tell patients that diabetes can’t be cured, and I know a lot of people who have reversed that. I still believe the neuropathy in my feet can be solved if I can get it done soon. The problem with me is I’m back on the baseball field still crushing my severe spinal stenosis in my lower back a couple of times a week masking the pain with ibuprofen. A true addict! If compressed nerves aren’t considered neuropathy, then my neurologist shouldn’t have gave me that diagnosis. Although my feet and ankles are still slightly numb but not painful.

You can test positive my a compressed nerve. My emg repeated when I had sciatic nerve compression in my back showed radiculopathy. After my laminectomy the emg/nct showed back the severe axonal sensorimotor dysautonomia peripheral polyneuropathy. Nerve compression can give a false reading. I hope you can understand this it is kinda in depth. You might look at the picture of a normal nerve to see where the body of the nerve and what they are talking about here. Bottom line emg can give a false reading on a nerve damage based on how the nerve is damaged allows regeneration or permanent damage. Like you mentioned ealieryou have spinal stenosis how long has it been going on? It determines the damage. I get my nerves burned on the SI joints. It does not affect the cell body so they grow back in two years. Since my mRsa bacterial spinal meningitis damage my nerves to begin with there is no recovery because mine initially started in the brain leaving me with short term memory loss, seizures and severe migraines. That’s when my neuropathy started was the antibiotics they had to use caused the neuropathy 3 months IV @24/7 then three months of pills. I had to take phenergran to hold down the pills. Mine turned into autoimmune lupus sojourns Hashimotos and connective tissue disease all cause neuropathy. I also found out I have spinal bifida which doesn’t help. There are lot of things that can cause neuropathy. Some symptoms temporary until nerve compression removed and how much permanent damage if any.
