Tens Unit?

[leo8013]

I was curious to see who here if anyone has/uses a TENS unit and what you guys think of them. I am thinking of getting one and just wanted some input. I know that lgmedsupply has them at a decent price but wanted to make sure its worth it.

Never known anyone who had to use one. Are you in constant pain that you would need it?

Just in my left shoulder. Today while decline bench I heard a pop. Its fine now but I couldnt get a good workout today because of it. I do stretches and rotator cuff movements before I do my chest exercises. For some reason I have pain when I do light warmup sets but on my working sets pain is gone. for some reason when I am under heavy weight it actually feels better. I thought I read before The Dude having one on another thread that was talking about a MRI machine. I know its supposed to help in recovery. Just been thinking about one lately.

I used one for recovery after surgery for a torn left peroneal tendon. I didn't have much success with it, but if the pain isn't too severe it may help.

I've got one. I used it on my quad around the knee when I hurt it and regularly use it when I get slight pulls or pain in the rear delts, teres minor, and throughout my back, mostly the erector spinae.

Dude is it worth getting one.

I'm definitely picking one up, they are cheaper than I previously thought

Dude is it worth getting one.

I love mine. I don't think it will help with a shoulder or rotator cuff issue, but it does help me recover from hard chest or back workouts especially back when I get the dull aching pain.

I figured for under 100 it couldnt hurt. anyone you recommend since you have one????
