Pain Gone Pen

[joe-90]

I've got tendinitis in my knee atm, does this TENS pen really work? Anyone tried it?

I thought the heading was your new Vietnamese ting-tong.

Unlikely that a single point touching the skin will work as there has to be current flow along ( or in tissue alongside the nerve ) the nerve in order to stun it.

Be careful that the device does not destroy the nerve. That does stop the pain permanently and may deprive you of the sense of touch at the site.

Can't comment about the pen, but I bought a related item from Lloyds pharmacy a couple of years ago to see if it would help my broken wrist/scaphoid injury. It was a very weird feeling (pulsating current acting along the stretch between two reusable self adhesive silicon pads) which caused "flinching" for want of a better word.

Did it help? I think it did TBH.
