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

Thanks Swat I couldn't find one anywhere but went for it anyway.

A little word of warning on this one.
My wife helped me set this up applying the patches and operating the device to get it to the right setting, when doing so she inadvertantly switched to one of the high settings which resulted in me getting a lightning bolt straight through my back I was in abject agony for a few minutes so be very carefull, probable best to make sure you have the control in your hand in case you need to quickly pull the leads. After my experience I think the warnings on these devices should be more graphic. I only received it yesterday and haven't had opportunity to test more than once yet but received no relief for the thirty minutes session I had, I will however persevere and give the thing a chance whilst reading their promotional material to see what options are open to me in the event it doesn't do the job

ermmm... yes... that's one of the biggest problems with these things

The ones with external analogue controls are the worst as you can accidentally turn/hit the knob at any time. The other problem is when you feel a pad coming off; put your hand around the back of yourself to press it back on properly and get a shock up your hand instead Not good! This is also why they say never have one on whilst you're driving.

It's gone up to £39.99 now.

Still better than the £69.99 it still is in store!
