I also use a tens unit and it helps alot!!
The Arnica helps somewhat, seems to help calm the nerve pain. I would say it helps for 3-4 hours. I apply it in the morning and at night to my sore elbow, shoulder blades and upper back and arms. I have not used the product you mention but an Arnica gel made by Borion available over the counter. i also tried one I ordered on Amazon made by Kerah Lane. it contained lemongrass, Arnica, Capsacian . It too helps for about four hours.
I found Cat's Claw tea brings down my pain a lot !! I even double it up with Tumeric but on it's own it's pretty potent and best of all it works in next to no time !!
I use Arnica salve on my painful areas and it does calm my pain somewhat. I have found the products with more Arnica in them and less of other ingredients seem to work better.... Gentle Hugs to ya 😀
