05-06-2025In 2015 I suddenly had pain in my buttocks. It turned out to be severe stenosis with nerves being impinged. I had a laminectomy which helped for a while, and then the pain returned. Then I herniated a disc that reherniated. For the last several months Ive had growing significant pain which is that times extreme. From the beginning, the only thing that relieved the pain was opioids. I hated taking insane because of the Cardiology and gastroenterology issues, but I did take everything from ketorolac to celecoxib to ibuprofen. Ive taken neurontin, Lyrica, methocarbamol, and other stuff to know avail. Im now on 60 mg of morphine three times a day and it does nothing. The tolerance finally caught up to me. Over the years Ive had several different physical therapists and among all of them only one physical therapist try the TENS on me. (The physical therapist I have now did, but more on that later.) After the first back surgery, a laminectomy from l3 to l5, I had one of my several sessions of physical therapy. In that one the physical therapist took me up to a TENS machine for a little bit and then ask me if it helped. Well it didnt help as far as I could tell so that was the end of the TENS machine. Because of COVID, I searched for online physical therapy when I was once again referred to it. I found AIT and this is by far the best experience in physical therapy Ive ever had. I am one on one with the therapist for the entire time. They really have gotten to know me as we are able to talk at length and she can watch me do my exercises without having to go to other people and with that one-on-one guidance, Ive had much better results. And, she guided me on using the TENS unit. If I had known about this and then guided in its use a long time ago I would not be on any medication. If I have a pain that wont go away, I get a break from it which is a major relief. A pain that I write at two or three if it just came and went becomes a seven or eight if it never quits. Ive been using this for about a month now and I havent had a pain yet that the TENS didnt address at least while it was being used. And, more often than not, the pain will go away after using the unit. Before I had the TENS unit, getting off of the mat that I sleep on on the floor when I woke up in the morning was excruciating. I would do my PT exercises and that would make it a lot better, but getting started on the exercises was dreadful. Now I put on my TENS patches before starting the exercises and the difference is huge. It has taken a little experimentation to know where to put the patches. I have nerves down my calf that dont work, so putting the patches on them doesnt help with the pain. But if I put the patches on the area where these nerves are going down the leg above the calves, that takes care of the pain or reduces it significantly. So you have to experiment to find the right placement. The other thing about this 7000 TENS unit is that it is extremely durable. I often have the tens going as I move around in the wires get caught on something and it goes flying off and bounces on our hardwood floor, bathroom tile, or kitchen tile. It has survived and remained in perfect shape. Really yall, Im having surgery in a couple of weeks on the reherniation and my biggest dread is the process of getting off this high dose of morphine after the surgery. If I had had the TENS machine earlier, I wouldnt have that to look forward to.

> 3 dayI had the earlier model, TENS 3000, which was excellent, so I didnt hesitate to buy this. I just want a basic TENS unit, not 1,500 different modalities and acrobatics for the machine to do -- just good old, basic TENS. This unit is super simple to operate....easy to understand, easy to use, easy to control, easy to pack back up when done. I use it while reading, watching TV etc. Its easy-on, easy-off. Depending on how experienced you are in determining exactly where you electrode pads need to be, the machine does the rest and the controls are simple. I looked at a lot of others before buying this, thinking maybe I needed nouveau features. I dont. I use a TENS for basic pain relief and thats what this delivers. It may not be super razzle-dazzle -- but I like simplicity and I like to get what I WANT in a product. And I did.

Greater than one weekThe Tens 7000 has been a lifesaver for my chronic muscle strains. I lift quite a bit and have suffered some rhomboid issues. This device kicks ass! My wife also uses it for a hip flexor issue. She says its been quite effective. The chiropractor has been gouging us for years using basically the same device. Very pleased with this little power house. Its also super simple to use

> 3 dayI love this machine. It really helps with muscle soreness especially if you’re hitting the weights hard in the gym

> 3 dayI gave 4: stars because the batteries that came with the device only lasted for 3 uses before they died. I need to buy more batteries and hope they last longer, as its not practical to need to get new batteries every week. The device itself worked great and helped with my upper back pain. It felt comparable to the E-stim machine used by my chiropractor.

> 3 dayMy physical therapist recommended this unit as this is the unit her class bought while attending PT school. Economical and has a case. Easy to understand use but if you have lower back issues like me, its extremely hard to put patches in correct places even with mirror, much less taking them off. In a pinch, I would recommend this unit due to ease of use and price.

> 3 dayI really like this unit. I had one like this before. It is easy to use, no frills, no hoops to jump through. It will leave the unit in the last mode you used when you turn it off. No need to reset all the width and pulse rate or mode again. The only thing I would change on this unit is to loose the beep when you set it. I do recommend this unit over the other high frill/mode units I have tried.
