Advantages: No drugs

Disadvantages: Batteries run out quickly if used a lot

I suffer with Chronic Pain Disorder to which I have to take Morphine Slow Release Tablets twice a day but before that I was on Morphine every hour.Then I was changed to Slow Release with a Tens machine which was set up for my pain. Since using this TENS machine I have cut down at least the amount of morphine I was taking.

I saw an advert on Tv for Lloyds Tens Machine at half price. Normal price £39.99 down £19.99. So whats £20 if you are suffering pain. I purchased one then my hubby got sciatia and tried the Tens machine on it and it soon sorted it out.

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Simulation. This a recognized safe and highly effective source of pain relief. Even doctors now recommend TENS for treatments.
TENS machines work by passing harmless electrical signals into the body from its pads. This relieves pain in two ways.
Firstly it blocks the bodys pain signals.
Secondly, TENS stimulates the body's production of Endorphins-its own natural painkillers.

The box contains :
Main Unit
Cables x 2
Gel Pads X 4
And 4 x AAA Batteries (not included)
It is very simple to set up this TENS unit. You connect the cables to the machine and to pads and away you go.

The machine has 8 different settings that you can choose from. They range from slow tapping for pain relief to kneading fast for more intense pain relief. The programs are set and you select which level of relief that you require and then place the sticky conductor pads where it is needed. There are diagrams in the book for how to place pads for different pains in different areas. On turning on the machine you will feel like a pulsing sensation it tingles but it should not hurt if it does you need to turn it to different program. TENS machine is set up to work for 15 minute sessions but it recommend that if you use it more than 15 mins check pads are not causing a sore area. This device can also be used as a massager to help you relax.
TENS machines can be used for:
Back Pain
Sciatica
Sports strains and sprains.
Almost all muscle related injuries.
Some TENS machines are used to help during Labour as well.

The unit has very few buttons so you cant get confused. There is :
On/off button
Mode Button to set program required.
INT Button to select intensity.
A + B Button which when pressed shows the program and intensity on that channel.
Up + Down Button for changing mode and intensity.

So not complicated to operate.
Its not suitable for people with pacemakers or other implanted medical devices,or for people with rhytnm problems.
Cancer patients, people with epilepsy or dibetes should consult their doctor before using this machine.
Hope this is of use to readers and I must say it was the best £20 I have ever spent. And the relief I get is great so I now have a bit more of my life back. TENS machine is very portable just clip on to clothing or you can buy a belt to fasten it to.

Summary: Buy one if you suffer with pain
