The TENS machine

Well, putting the TENS machine to the test .. though I've taken a dose of oramorph .. but I think, even with that, it was a small dose, there'll be a difference. I have it on prog C. which is just a regular pulsating one rather than one of the sharper ones. The pain does seem to've gone down a bit .. but there's that question again .. morphine or the machine or a bit of both?

Anyway, worth a try and I suppose it must work as they use them in pain clinics and pain clinics are for people with severe pain. So, they'd be used in conjunction with pain meds. I suppose I do feel that it gives some benefit cause I keep on using it. It's just that, obviously, it's always used with pain meds so I don't really know quite how it works.
