Already spent a few hours playing with it and it seems to help a lot. Make sure the device is paused or off before moving the electrode location. The sensation trough the fingertips felt like an uncomfortable shock because I tried moving them while still on, so avoid that. Not hard to use, the modes aren't really explained but not a huge issue imo. Just experiment. The dual channel is awesome to use for more range of stimulation. Can't wait to use it at work. Higher settings may make your fingers and toes curl.

My shoulder was frozen basically in place for 3 weeks.I was 3 days out from seeing an orthopedic specialist to see what my next steps were. Scary thought at the age of 37. Bought this and a foldable reclining chair to prepare for physical therapy. To my surprise, after one use, I was able to slightly move my arm up away from my hip. After 2 uses, I was able to carefully get my shoulder up over my head.5 uses- Normal range of motionWithout this device, I would have been in serious discomfort, with little range of motion. I am so truly grateful for this product.

I'm loving this! Just got it today & it works wonderful! Small & compact, but packs a punch! Makes the muscles construct fully when you put it on certain settings & the strength is amazing! I'm using it right now & so happy with this purchase so far! I got this to replace my Healthmate Forever one, which doesn't have any options for replacement leads. This one does & it's even got a USB port to recharge it, so no more buying batteries! Very easy to use, many settings to choose from & provides great pain relief! Highly recommend this one. Reasonable price & it comes with differing electrode pads! I was able to extend the use of my pads on my other one by using my jelly in the pads that helped them adhere to my body after the sticky had worn off. Hoping these will do the same. Don't see any reason why they wouldn't. BUT, if not, you can buy compatible pads and leads for this unit. I've got some for my old tens & they work! A Got me literally teary-eyed because the pain is so much less!!! If I have any issues with recharging or battery life, I'll update later. So far, I've ran it for 1.5 hrs (30 min intervals) and the strength is still as great as when I took it out of the box. Only thing, wish it came with a hard case. No regrets with this! Loving it!!!

I'm going to write this review about what it is and not what I'd wish it was--because my wishes aren't technologically valid.You put two sticky pads on your skin, navigate a clunky interface (no going back in your choices only forward) and you start shocking yourself. The electricity interrupts the pain messages. In a world of opioid addiction and during a Covid19 pandemic, this is unbelievably helpful. Because I can't just pop into a doctor's office or get a back adjustment or massage or anything that involves being in close contact with people as I write this.I have two pads on now. I hurt my shoulder and I'm sitting at my desk typing. Is it bliss? No. Getting the pads right can be bothersome. If you're in horrific pain, reaching around trying to place pads may simply be impossible.And the pads can activate your muscles. Relax, gym-a-phobes, you won't get swol. You'll just twitch slightly and involuntarily. Which is not as cool as it sounds and it doesn't sound cool. Also, you have a big no-no area around your middle torso. Because at high enough juice, you'll feel it in your organs. Or at least I can. And having some outside electricity tickle your heart or lungs is a super scary feeling--to me.It didn't work on my knee. I couldn't really find a place I could put them and interrupt the pain. So things like wrist pain or hand pain might be equally tricky.All these sound like complaints. But they're not, exactly. This thing is cheap, durable, rechargable and costs about as much as 3 big bottles of your favorite NSAID and it's not a drug and doesn't have all those side effects.I had been amazingly skeptical of this. Seems like snake oil, right? But it works within the limitations of the system. If you got stomach cancer or eyeball surgery or had a sex change, I seriously doubt this will help you avoid pain. But for backs, arms, shoulders, legs, neck, etc. It works. I was gimping around yesterday because I hurt my back. I put on two pads and went bike riding--VERY SLOWLY. I've done that numerous times since I've gotten this.Another caveat, is this is only helping you ignore pain. The pain is still there. It's not reducing swelling/inflammation. It's not curing a damn thing. It's helping you cope. For muscle pulls/sprains and even stuff like slipped/bulging/generic-old-people disk issues, it's great. Your body will eventually cure itself. Hopefully. But even long term pain, it's either this or get hooked on drugs. And you're still getting shocked. It's not like a warm towel gently toweling you. It's zapping.So this product is about as good as the technology allows. I fully anticipate the 3rd 4th 80th generations of this stuff to be tiny diodes that aren't sticky and clunky and can be placed with pinpoint accuracy like acupuncture needles. Just some shirt or snuggie or unitard where you say, "ow, my right shoulder," and you're golden.But until that future day comes this is a great product. Just consider what your needs are, what you can and can't do, and all the stuff above.

This unit replaced an old tens unit. It's amazing! Gave me wonderful relief from a pulled muscle that's made it impossible to sleep comfortably for a few nights. So glad to have found it! Highly recommend!!
