Does TENS work for pain relief?

Does TENS provide pain relief?

There is so much stuff written on TENS that it is difficult to know what is true or false. The people who make this device have tons of great reviews about the various TENS machines and their benefits. On the other hand, consumers with pain who use TENS indicate that the device does not always work and the pain relief is not sustained.

In fact, the majority of reviews on TENS by people with pain indicate that the device sucks. In one recent large review, the overall feeling is that TENS is just another gimmick designed to scam patients. The pain relief in most cases is minimal and you can get the same relief by massaging the area with a dildo.

So if you have the money, save it and use it for something else. If you do not have money to buy a TENS machine, do not worry, you are not missing out on anything. Remember medicine is a business and the name of the game is to sucker desperate patients with a lot of crappy devices. If people who had pain stopped going to doctors, more than 60% of doctors would become unemployed.
