Yes, I used a TENS unit a few years ago. I got it through Medicare and/or BCBS, my secondary, at no cost. It helped a small amount. But when you are desperate you will put up with a lot of downsides. The downsides are in getting it put on and weak relief. Ultimately, I quit and just relied on medicines. But recently I did the spinal cord stimulator trial which really helped a lot. I am currently awaiting permanent placement and I’m really excited about it! Gayle

Hi Gayle, which SCS (spinal cord stimulator) did you try? Boston Scientific, Abbott or Nevro? I'm happy that got relief with the trial. Let's hope the permanent one gives you the same amount or better pain relief. Marty
