Has anyone tried a Tens Machine for their pain? It helped me a lot in the past, but I wasn’t sure if it was a placebo or if it really worked. ??

So sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia diagnosis, this might help with that. At least you could add it to your Christmas list.

Hey Lily ! Thanks for sharing the article or product. No I haven’t used the Ten machine. I haven’t really seen or heard of it . For pain I used regular ice pak or blue ice that has been working out for me. Looks interesting to try

Def. for muscle pain, not nerve pain-with Fibro, it vibrates me into a flare. Not for me at all. Give it a shot if you have muscle pain, helped me at PT a bit before the Fibro took over! There was a blue and red light machine I will try to recall what it was-THAT helped me so much more than the TENS.

Found this site that explains it- for me, the blue light hurt at first but they turned it down as low as it would go, then was a good thing… They are crazy pricey but if you can get PT from a “sports medicine” office they are more likely to use and have one. They wrap it with a hot towel to release muscle tension- worked wonders at the time. https://platinumtherapylights.com/blogs/news/red-vs-blue-light-therapy

No I haven’t but I am very interested in getting one. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I also have herniated disk, having back surgery in January. I’ve been reading up about the TENS unit and the benefits that chiropractors have had with thier patients who have fibromyalgia or back problems.
