For those with back pain, get yourself a tens machine!
3 years ago
As someone with scoliosis + sciatica, sitting + standing for long periods can cause me a lot of pain, and pain killers can only do so much. If you haven't tried one already, get a TENS unit! Holy hell do they take the edge off the pain, and i can sit for much longer working on commissions! Also you can use them almost anywhere on your body, not just your back!
I just wanted to post this in case it might help anyone else out there that suffers from chronic pain.
I wish all of you the best ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Which model did you get? I know someone with sciatica who could use this!

OP
I just got a cheap $20 Renpho one from ebay as i can't afford the more expensive ones, but it still does the job! The pads that came with this particular one aren't the stickiest though so i would recommend buying plenty of spare pads from amazon or ebay!

I tackle my scoliosis/sciatica pain with Yoga personally - pain meds dont help due to the severity usually. Might look into this thing though

A mandatory note here is to make sure people getting one don't confuse TENS and EMS machines, because unless you KNOW the difference, you won't tell them apart.
