Is a tens unit good for the knee? i can't wear it all the time what else can be done? i have tried ice please gel throbbing knee joint pain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A tens unit usually has little value. Has the cause of the knee pain been established? If osteoarthritis is present there are much better options to treat the problem.
