Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sid Bonkers" data-source="post: 254802" data-attributes="member: 19121">I have degenerative arthritis in my lower spine (spondylitis) and for as long as I can remember have had very bad referred leg pain which is akin to sciatica but in my case the pain is mainly on the inside of the leg rather than the outside (sciatica).The pain can be anywhere down my leg from the groin to the big toe and can go from not hurting at all to my being unable to walk and almost crying with pain within minutes and can come on without warning. I do take DF118 Codeine but only take them when the pain is very bad as they give me constipation, the only other relief I get is from hot gel pads - the reusable kind - applied to the lower back which allow me some relief and allow me to get some sleep if only for an hour or so.Anyway sorry for the boring pre amble but I have just ordered a TENS machine in the hope that it may give me some side effect free pain relief and wonder if anyone else uses one for similar or other pain relief. I understand the pain relief TENS machines are different from those used in pregnancy .Anyone?</blockquote>
