Has any one used a "TENS" electronic pain killing machine

Hi Lorry

My husband Peter uses a TENS machine and he has had good results from it. When he was first diagnosed he had severe bone damage and his mobility was severely hampered. The local Macmillan nurse was visiting us and she suggested that the physiotherapist came to try and help him. Very gentle exercises were done and also the use of the tens machine.

I too had heard very good reports so I asked a Doctor who was treating me in the Day Case Unit (for a suspected DVT) and he said that he personally had one and would recommend it… so I bought one. It arrived from Amazon and I tapped it and unwrapped it, eager to use it and, yes I know I am letting man-kind down, I read the instructions on the side of the box before switching it on. :-0

It said, in bold lettering:

[quote][b]'Do Not Use If You Have Or Have Previously Suffered From, A DVT'[/b].[/quote]

Thank you Doctor. It turned out that I did have a DVT… in my right leg with another in the left leg to follow the following year… but my wife Janet has made occasional use of it and me and my Grandson have used it (not plugged in) as a console for our shuttle space craft. Waste not, want not. 😉

Just a note to check on before purchasing. 🙂

Dai.
