Anybody ever use a TENS device for pain?

9. The TENS thing just seems creepy to me. I never had relief from electric stimulation for any of my

various, countless injuries over the years, I really hope it's working for you!

Oddly enough, for all my injuries and with suffering decades of continuous chronic pain upper back; whiplash, severe sprains, înched nerves, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, ruptured ankle tendons & ligaments, dislocated knees, recent vein stripping surgery that has gone very poorly, etc, etc, I recently discovered the simplest, cheapest most effective pain relief I've ever experienced (outside of the bliss of anesthesia and morphine).... Arnica Montana gel.

Seriously, none of the endless types of pain pills or anti inflammatories ever worked for me, so I would choke down up to 3600 mgs of ibuprofin per day during really bad episodes. I'm lucky I still have a liver!

Oh. My. Gawd. I had completely forgotten what it was like to have entire days, let alone hours, free of chronic pain.

This morning I wiped out again and badly gouged and scraped my shin. By noon it was screaming and swelling up to giant size. An hour ago I put the gel on it and now.... almost nothing. I put it on my 12,000 bug bites and the burn I got from the iron last night too. ZING.. ZAP, gone.

And I am a skeptic. That homeopathic stuff??? Nah, it can't possibly work! It never has before!

I got the gel from a gal I work for, who happens to be the top athlete in the world in her sport... She's like, 'Hedge, girl, seriously, just TRY this, it works!'

So, if you haven't tried it, do. There are pills as well, which I have not tried, but in reading up on it, they seem like winners too. It's not expensive and is easy to find. I sincerely hope you can escape the vicious cycle of chronic pain!!!
