    I have a couple of them. I wish I was better at placing the electrodes. So many positions do basically nothing, or just sting the skin, but when I get them set up right, holy shit is it magic.

    Need to order in some replacement gel for the pads, though.

      It helps a lot to have another person place them for you.

      I find that if I feel the muscle that is causing pain and put a pad on either end of that muscle group then another pad across it in an X shape then I usually get the muscles isolated.

      It rarely fixes it in one day. I find if I’m at about 70% of how I normally feel then on day two I wake up feeling 75% normal then 85% on day three and back to normal on day four. People thinking it is instant usually are discouraged in continuing but sticking to it for days in a row is more successful.
