Sporting Injury?

[Nile]

Last Christmas, Father Christmas brought me a TENS machine which I used for the first time last night, for a sports injury/thigh strain.

If you're reluctant to take analgesics and wondered if a TENS machine is any good, I found it to be effective.

When I drove home from my sporting event, I was struggling to get out of the car and then walking upstairs was slow and painful.

The TENS machine reduced the aches and pains sufficiently to allow me to sleep. I can recommend it.

This morning, my leg/thigh is a bit achey but much better.

The only time I've used one was in labour, but it worked brilliantly - until the batteries ran out (stop-start baby!) If you want to try one out before spending money on one, see if you can hire one.

for labour, our midwife let us borrow one to try. but i have one i use for recurring knee problem, as i am allergic to paracetamol, works a treat.
