I have just been loaned a TENS machine for two weeks by my physio, and I wondered if other people have found them to be useful and if they can stop the pain. My physio seems quite confident this will sort everything, but I am far more sceptical as not only has this been going on for 4 or 5 months but I have also started to get problems with my left hand as well, so it is difficult to be optimistic! Any advice from other TENS users would be greatly appreciated!
Gemma.

I've used one at times when the diffuse RSI pain in my arms has been bad eb=nough to stop me sleeping. I've used it for about 30 mins at bed time - it's enabled me to get to sleep. Doesn't stop the pain coming back another time!

I don't think it will sort out your problems, but I'm sure it will help you manage the pain.
I have only been using a TENS machine since April, although I have had a RSI for nearing 12 years. I just wish I had used one sooner.
Don't be frightened to use it, but don't let it lul you into a false sense of security - even if there is no pain, don't push it ... you still have an injury that needs tender care and attention.
