How long have you had it on for?
Best results are obtained when you can only just feel it pulsing and over using it (long sessions of more than 15-20 mins more than a couple of times a day) can damage nerve endings and affect local muscle groups. |

Capsicum cream is pretty much just deep heat and is fairly effective. Tens machines are fantastic in the right applications and when used properly... |

Turn it off and leave it until tomorrow is the best advice. If its still ineffective go and see your gp. |

Try researching if you have the best TeNs for you as there are different ones,
I've tried several and also fentanyl patches which controlled the pain but you're stoned while on them!
I now have a spinal cord stimulator which controls the nerves that cause pain. I can increase the charge as I have a control device subcutaneously fitted and a handheld remote. The control device is recharged by pacing a recharging unit over the skin above the control box. Takes about 6 hours.
There is a version the requires the control box being topped up with a pain killer which delivers pain relief direct to the nerves, again this needs to be topped up, but its via an injection through the skin into the reservoir.
It's an expensive procedure but has proved to be well worth it as there is nothing more debilitating than chronic pain.
I will have to have the battery replaced and you have to conscious while the place the leads into your spine so they know the leads are in the correct nerve bundle for the affected area. |

I had one when i had my last child, it was ok to start with then it was rubbish although my ex did complain that his finger having to press it all the time (oh the poor dear), so used the gas and air as well, after daughter was born i was told that i wasn't using either properly so a totally natural birth for me. |
