When I returned to work for a short time, I also used a TENS unit. Actually,
I used two at once. I had the wires attached to my legs to try to help with
the pain and weakness when walking. It did help to some degree, but not
enough to keep using them. Many health insurance plans will pay for using a
TENS if recommended by your physician.
