Ping - Richard from UK

Welcome to asa, Richard. Sounds like you have some serious problems. I can't
remember all of your first post, but I remember you have a TENS machine. I have
one, but can't help with the settings because my physiotherapist set it for me.
Have you seen a physio for suggestions? I have a real keeper of one, but she is
in Canada, and sorry, you can't have her, I need her to keep me mobile. :-)

As for other products, I'm not much help, there are others here who know more
about them. I use some but both my GP (general practitioner) and my
rheumatologist know what I take. Hang around, there are some good people here.

Hi Richard,

Any time I have been on tens type of units they have been set so that the
muscle is forced to spasm without it hurting. When it was set too high I
would feel very sharp needle pain and they would slightly back it off from
that point. Don't know what will work for you, but you can experiment a
little. You will know when it is too much, believe me.
