Has anyone tried the TENS machine for pain?

Yes, I bought a TENS unit at a drugstore years ago, it was under $40 and when it stopped working replaced with one from Amazon around $50. Both did help a little bit with pain in my case on a temporary basis - probably for 3 hours or so - if it was from muscle spasms or neuropathy. I also get migraines and use a device called a Cefaly Dual which is similar to TENS but only for migraines it is placed on the forehead. It's over $400 I think. That device does help with migraine. Hope you get some helpful feedback.

I went to a chiropractor, and she used one of these machines on me. They did not help me so I told her I was not going to come back. At that time she told me that I could buy the machine and use it myself. I could have saved lots of dollars. My machine only cost $28 at Walmart. I still have it. I never thought chiropractors helped me at all and they never have. I won’t be going back to one ever.

I use mine constantly! Instant relief! I use the older Analog units which are a lot stronger than the digital. They're inexpensive and I always have a backup in reserve. Here's a link from Walmart:

Good luck!
