    Advantages Advantages Portable, cheap, effective topical pain relief.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No batteries included, some people do not like the sensation.

    I first experienced the joys of a Tens machine when in labour with my now 3 year old daughter. I had decided on a homebirth and no pain relief ( fool ) and had begged a Tens from the Community Midwife team. The one that they gave me was a dual channel machine (better for labour ) and it was a bit battered. Considering the life that it had led ( howls of agony and much foul language I imagine ), it did the job well. The whiskey and hot baths helped too of course. My daughter was delivered safely and I achieved my aim of minimal pain relief (bar whiskey and swearing) so all was well that ends ... more

    4 Stars PAIN, PAIN GO AWAY, MY TENS MACHINE IS HERE TO STAY! Review with images 05/03/2012

    Advantages Advantages Easy to control and No side effects from prolonged use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There is some discomfort during use.

    TENS MACHINE – DIGITAL PAIN RELIEVER – LLOYDS PHARMACY MODEL: AD-2011 We all have a different threshold of bearable pain. In your own mind, if you were up to around 7 or more on a scale of 1-10 a TENS machine, such as a Lloyds Pharmacy AD-2011, would be worth considering as an alternative to the use of drugs to relieve chronic pain. There are no known side effects associated with medium to long term use of this type of equipment. NEED, GREED, DESIRE or FEAR are the only 4 reasons why people buy anything so, when a metabolic malfunction somewhere deep between my shoulder blades caused a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use and discreet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages LLoyds have discontinued this model, but it can be found on Ebay

    Unfortunately, within only two weeks of marrying my second husband just over five years ago I was involved in a car accident whilst travelling to work. Consequently, the honeymoon period was brought to an abrupt end and resulted in me being positioned flat on my back for approximately two weeks and no, it was definitely not for the reasons that you are thinking! Whilst back experts are always advising us not to take back pain lying down I was constantly “spaced out” from the concoction of drugs initially prescribed to me. Although I cannot state that the accident was serious, the position of ... more

    4 Stars Pain relief any time any place 06/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, compact, great price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No good for wide spread pain

    I've suffered from a wide spread chronic pain condition for many years and I have searched for anything that will ease the symptoms. I have tried so many different complimentary therapies and till now only found massage and a Jacuzzi bath have been the most affective. Now it's expensive to get a massage everyday and having a Jacuzzi bath while you are in the middle of doing something is not practical. Pain killers can help but the really strong ones make you drowsy and restrict you. I thought about giving a Tens machine a try but was very sceptical and just assumed that it would cost too much ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic pain relief instead of loads of pills

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I suffer with Chronic Pain Disorder to which I have to take Morphine Slow Release Tablets twice a day but before that I was on Morphine every hour.Then I was changed to Slow Release with a Tens machine which was set up for my pain. Since using this TENS machine I have cut down at least the amount of morphine I was taking. I saw an advert on Tv for Lloyds Tens Machine at half price. Normal price £39.99 down £19.99. So whats £20 if you are suffering pain. I purchased one then my hubby got sciatia and tried the Tens machine on it and it soon sorted it out. TENS stands for Transcutaneous ... more

    My Hubby suffers terribly from lower back pain - I had seen that the tens machine sometimes helps with this, not wanting to spend a fortune to find out it does not work I saw these at lloyds pharmacy for 14.99 and decided to give it a try.

Although relief for Him was not instant after a couple of days there was definate signs of improvement. Touch wood he has not complained in the last couple of weeks of pain ... more

    5 Stars Lloyds Pharmacy Tens Machine 11/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of Functions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!

    I purchased the Lloyds Pharmacy version of this machine for my partner because he suffers from sciatica. It was £14.99 to buy and worth every penny. I had hired a TENS machine previously for my labour pains and found it to be very effective so thoughtI might also be able to use this for period pain. I popped into Lloyds and found that this one cannot be used by pregnant mothers - so that is one to remember - but I was quite impressed with it's functionality for massage. It runs from 2 AAA batteries (not supplied) and has two sticky gel pads (they can be reused and I've had mine for several ... more
