Digital pain relief tens machine info ? TENS SCIATICA?

hi, i have just started to use a tens machine for sciatica in my leg, its seems to be easing the pain well (better than pills anyway)
----question----
i know they can be used for sciatica, but has anybody specifically used one for this before?
how did you get on with it?
was it affective/did it work?

These are effective. Use them only as directed. Many people will use them more than the directed amount. When this happens, your body will not respond to the vibration anymore. Then the unit loses its effectiveness. I found them rather cumbersome even though they are smaller than they used to be. I hope you feel better soon.

I have not used one for sciatica, but i have used one, and yes they do work. As already said - don`t overuse - it serves no purpose.
