Ooh! Never tried it, I don't think TENS can fix Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, but interesting to know (I'd try anything if I thought it might work. Gotta hurt less than physio!)

It's interesting to know how you get on.

I don't think it can fix anything, but it does temporarily confuse the pain pathways. Don't know if the effects are cumulative, we shall see!

I had TENS treatments for a bit as part of the physical therapy for my rotator cuff problem, a few years ago. At low intensity, I don't think it hurt at all, though at this remove the memory is fuzzy, and it may be that any pain was swamped by what we were using it to treat. When I accidentally turned it up too high once, that did hurt, and made my arm twitch.
