Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have idiopathic neuropathy and need some help. How do you use the TENS? I have one and could use it but don't know how and where to put it. Neuropathy has started up my legs. Would this help to stop it?
Thank you for any tips you can give me.

The Tens machines, i.e., Nooro, I think, feels good, as well as a Therapy Company known as "Nerve Renewal" which uses stronger tens machines, but they will not solve the problem. I have been going to therapy for 2 years and my pain will just get worse, but I stay ON MY FEET. KEEP MOVING. Try getting some "Barefoot" brand shoes, and the socks they advertise to help neuropathy, which make your feet feel like they are being massaged a little. I love my Barefoot shoes, they do run small though). I have to get up in the middle of the night, which is 4 am right now, to stretch and work out the pain that comes in the night. The lower the temperature outside, the worse the pain. Barometric pressure changes are not our friend. I have reduced my sugar intake, trying to eat more fruits and vegetables an only take Tylenol for pain. Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex. I went to Cleveland Clinic and they believe in only good food and Vitamins. The pain medicines did not work for me, a zombie, not happening. I am still able to play golf and light pickleball, but would rather live all day long than have to go to bed. I can usually sleep pretty well after not sleeping for 3 nights. Stay as active as you can for as long as you can, and keep working out. Hope that helps.
