... has degenerative disc disease and uses a tens unit pretty much every day
My husband has degenerative disc disease and uses a tens unit pretty much every day. We were spending a ton of money on pads until I ran across this. We took a chance and bought it. The one thing we quickly found out is that it has to be used with the iReliev tens unit. We were disappointed that we had to buy another unit. (We figured if it worked than the price of the unit and belt would eventually pay for itself if we didn’t have to buy pads anymore). So... we bought one of the iReliev tens units.<br /><br />Now, for the belt... when using the included gel my husband says it works great when he is sitting down watching tv, or standing still. The gel looks to be relatively inexpensive and he only needs a small amount to make the conduction work. His complaint is when he gets up and starts moving around. He said that he cant feel the pulses once he starts to move. He thought about putting his old back brace over top of it to help it stay pressed to his skin better, but decided that would be too restrictive. This is not a deal breaker, but he was hoping to wear it when he was up and about doing things.<br /><br />So based on the fact that we had to buy another tens unit and that it wont work as good when walking around we decided to give it 4 instead of 5 stars.
Rating: 4 stars
