My wife has had a total knee replacement but I have read that if you have metal in your body (ie: in the knee replacement) that you shouldn’t use a TENS machine. Is this true or not?

Thank you! I'm 5 weeks out from a total knee and doing well except for nonstop pain while sleeping. I can't sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. I hate taking meds but even with NSAIDs, icing, and oxy I get little relief. No one has suggested anything more, so I did my own homework. I have a Tens unit and I'm up and running. If this helps me sleep better tonight I will be forever grateful. :)

Thank you for the video . Helped tremendously for placement of pads. Just purchased a TENS machine as old Knee looks like it needs replacement and I want to delay as long as possible and this might just alleviate some pain and strengthen muscles. I have some tendinitis pain on 4 year old newer knee which hopefully can be helped. Was uncertain about pad replacement and your video is so helpful. Thank you

I’ve had a tens unit for years and was thinking of using it but, was unsure if I should. I had a 4 week checkup last Thursday and got a prescription for something to help the swelling that has made movement extremely painful even after getting the staples removed. It’s getting a bit better but after overdoing it at physio as was directed, my whole leg, foot to hip swells painfully to the point that the knee feels like it’ll burst if I try to bend it. Ice machine didn’t help the swelling as much as I thought it would, so stopped using it last week. I find the muscles relax more at normal temperatures. I was allowed 8 physiotherapy sessions and happy it’s over. The things they had me do, I can and have done myself at home. I do more hands on than I got there so, I’m happy it’s over driving there for next to nothing. Useful video for those needing to learn pad placement.

I turn my intensity up to stinging nettle level. "Strong but comfortable" just as Tony says. The positioning he suggests is invaluable. If you don't end up yanking the wires, doing the exercises while hooked up to TENS is good. What do you think Tony?

You demonstrate switching the leads to get opposite pairs of electrodes working together, but you don't say why this might be a good idea. What is the reason? Also, you specifically mention the fact that you don't have to remove the pads to do this - so does that imply that in 1 session with the unit you are recommending switching the arrangement part way through to gain a particular benefit? Very helpful re placement of pads, by the way.

i'm ony 41, but i recently have been having some very alarming issues with my knees and i been looking up this type of stuff because i'm terrified right now that i'm going to be a cripple, i thought i would have more time, i am not an athlete, or a stunt person, i never did anything crazy with my knees, i didnt jump out of trees, or wreck my bike or get run over by a car, i dont even feel like i'm old, but my knees just started hurting all the time recently over the last month its gotten worse and whatever that little bone in the front of the knee, the knee cap thing is, feels like it's getting stuck on something, i got a dr appointment on monday, but i'm on SSI, so i always get dr's who dont seem to care that much, ive lost 60 lbs in 2 months trying to make it so i dont hurt all the time, it's not helped much

Your only three weeks out. Don't worry about cleaning your teath right now by a dentist. You should wait 12 weeks which is the standard wait time. Should not do anything that may introduce infection at this point. I'd wait a minimum of 6 months . You can brush and floss bit not dental cleanings. Not worth the risk. Please listen and you will be okay.

Well, there is a troll in every group! Sad! I've used a TENS device since day one, and am now 8 wks po right tkr and doing just great! Used it mainly as I would lie on my bed and doing all my 3x daily exercises, (leg extensions, thigh contractions, hamstring contractions, heel slides, leg raises, etc). I'm doing very well and looking forward to having my other knee done here in about another month and a half! Keep working it!
