I am using a Medical Designs Spectrum MAX-SD tens... keep three fully
charged batteries handy, and usually have each side set at a minimum of
50 (many times cranked as far as it will go), it is no panacea, but it
relieves tha pain to the point that I can live with it, and function in
a reasonable manner,  In the 6 months that I have had it, I have gone
from needing it every day, to needing to use it only on "bad days"... I
guess you just eventually learn to cope with it.  My dad has an older
unit (around 1984 or so) his is of little use, and he recently got one
like mine, and the difference was amazing... don't know if it would be
the same for you (I'm no doctor), but the difference between the two
units seemed to be worth it for him.. (he has a degenerative disk
disease of some sort, and has 5 collapsed disks)...
