 Keith,
 I used a T.E.N.S. Unit (Stayoderm) for about 9 months for an L5-S1 Spondo.
That is a misallignment of the vertabra in my lower back.
After about 9 months time, it did lose effectiveness.
 I am now using Tolectin and Cytotec.
 Good luck wit your TENS.
 Later,
 Orville

... I look better than I feel.
