I also noticed while waiting at the pharmacy in tesco last night they have just started hiring tens machines. Hope that's of use to someone.

I got one of these from Boots about a month ago. It's a neat little pack and I found it quite useful.

These are great - I have used them for upper back and jaw pain and also during labour - it was a godsend.

I need new pads, not a new machine. But for this price it may be worth getting the whole thing!

the physiotherapy unit at our local hospital loaned me one for a month when i first injured my back so maybe worth enquiring? There was no charge.

Thinking about one of these but can't find a voucher code anywhere anybody know of one I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction without actually posting the code itself as this is not allowed on this forum.

I note the warning messages posted earlier. For sporting injuries the TENS pain relief unit is excellent. I can recommend it for this application. It helped me to recover from sports injuries and avoid taking analgesics.

This is the link to the Boots codes thread. Had a quick look, but there doesn't seem to be much luck with the posted codes recently

A reasonable deal but the quoted original price of £69.99 is heavily over the top. Already available at places like http://www.tens.co.uk/acatalog/TeNS_Drug_Free_Pain_Relief.html for £49.94

Actually, looking at it again, it's not quite the same machine - very similar though and no doubt the same OEM.

Remember that if your pain is as a result of a long term medical condition then you don't have to pay VAT on either the machine or the pads!
