You will benefit from a tens unit. I worked in Physical therapy and it is just 4 or 5 probes that stick on your back then the small machine adjust to how much vibration you can handle. Feels good.
Tens machine is small but does help. It stimulates the painful area and gives u relief for a short period of time. Sometimes it last longer and gives u more relief.
@A MyFibroTeam Member 15 years?! I just had it done. I had torn stuff along the collar bone and in my back too so I couldn't have gone with out it. I have a small machine but i don't think it helps. Glad it does for you all.
don't know about fibrosis but I use a tens for back and neck pain (herniated discs) and for shoulder (torn rotator cuff) and have avoided surgery for 15 years. The VA gave me a cheap tens unit and then a high $$$ one both were so so. I got a micro tens unit from amazon and it's a godsend buy the sandals that plug into unit too $50 for both. Best money I ever spent
I bought mine from Walgreens for about $70 and when my muscles get that tired achy can't do anything to help feeling--my TENS usually helps!
