Me ayuda mucho al dolor muscular y de las articulaciones

I do not have much experience with tens units but I have lots of experience with pain. I hurt myself somehow about three weeks ago. The only way to describe my pain is like the top half of my body is so heavy and crushing my tailbone etc. I've used a heating pad so much that it looks like I have stretch marks all over my body but my doctor says they are infrared burns. I have been on tramadol and flexiril which make me groggy and not me. I can't get anything done and they barely help the pain. I am telling you all of this because I want you to understand that this tens unit did not just get me through a little pain here and there, it has improved my quality of life. I can finally move and get out if bed again. Each time I have used it, I have been able to go a little longer without needing the next treatment so soon. even with extreme pain like I have had, I have not had to go up too far on the levels. I loved that this is a dual tens unit. I can use it on my upper back and the lower part of my lower back at the same time and only on the levels I need. So far I enjoy the 4th setting with a 4 on the upper part of my back and a 6 on the lower part. I am able to move around and get things done around the house that I have not been able to do for some time. The patches stay on great through my movements. It Is Recommended to only use this unit For 30 minutes a session with up to 3 sessions a day, between 4-6 hours apart. I did cheat a little bit, I used it 4 times at first. Like I said before though, with each time I used it. The pain stayed away a little longer. I was really surprised at how powerful this little thing is. Especially for only running on 3 AAA batteries. The batteries seem to be lasting a long time as well. The best part about this is, it's simple to use. I literally had it set up and going 10 minutes after opening the box. There are 6 different modes and you can select from several different places on the body to use them Just by the click of a button. It shows you with an arrow on the screen of what you select. Another cool thing is it has a clip so you don't have to depend on carrying it awkardly And even if you bump it on something, no worried because it locks 30 seconds after inactivity so you don't accidentally change the intensity. I went from horrible massive stuck in bed. Indescribable pain. To being able to get around, clean the house, cook, and do household chores. This literally has saved my life, right when I was about to give up hope. I honestly didn't think it would work because of the price and the other reviews but it was in my price range for what I had saved up for one of these. It didn't look as fancy as the other more expensive ones on amazon. I can't speak for the other units but this one, is well worth it if you suffer from pain. I would buy this over and over again.

I'm impressed with how powerful a current this TENS unit can produce on just 3 AAA batteries!. There are 22 intensity settings for each of the 6 specific body parts settings and the 6 non-specific routines. For me, an intensity setting of around 4 - 6, depending on the routine I'm using, is more than enough to provide relief. My husband has tried to 'see how high he could go' and found that a setting of around 14 would render his arm or leg incapacitated (couldn't resist the contraction of his muscles) and claimed it was too painful ... boys and their crazy antics!The 4 pads stick well to pretty much any body part that doesn't have a lot of hair (again, hubby trying to use this other than what it was intended for), and they easily re-stick to the laminated plastic they come packaged onto. I have been using this device for 2 months now and the pads still have great sticking power! I have read other reviews that claim a simple was with water will make them like new again, but I haven't had a need to try that trick yet.The instructions are clear and they include a handy quick reference card that shows you the programs this device will perform along with pictures that depict where you should and shouldn't place the pads.The panel is clear and bright when selecting a program or intensity level and after about 5 seconds will darken and go into lock mode.The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because there is no 'quick turn' off feature when it enters into locked mode. I have to press the up or down arrows to wake the device up and then I am allowed to turn it off. A rather small inconvenience, but it causes a lot of stress when I want it OFF immediately but can't get that to happen.

Only had it for 3 days but so far so good. Works flawlessly and easy to read and set programs. So many levels. Really helps aching neck and shoulders.
