Pleasantly surprised with the abdominal pain relief. Although I am past the age of having menstrual cycles, I do suffer with surgical scar tissue pain. Although it was not recommended, I decided it was worth the experiment. I had a hysterectomy then later bladder surgery that via the abdomen. I've been dealing with pain for about 10 years.
This has made a HUGE difference in my pain.
At first I used every day upon waking then again in the evening after coming in from working in the garden. For a few weeks this was my resolve. I could go to sleep without pain and no longer need a heat pack. I now use it a couple times a week, more so if I am doing a lot of lifting and pulling things about, or if I twist causing a spasm.
Benefits: The warmth helps calm the area. Not too much, just enough. The therapy, which I can control of how much is best. I turn up to where I can handle the intensity, yet if I go up one too far, I can easily reduce it.
The 20 min cycle is sufficient. Although it feels great, I don't find it necessary to restart it. Although, the first few days, I did use it a 2nd time, after giving it an hour for my body to rest.
This has reduced my bladder spasms as well.
Also, if I need to move, I'm not hooked up to wires, as it stays in place
The only negative I have for this unit is that the pads are a bit sticky. When they first arrived, and I ordered more so that I don't run out without the opportunity to order more. I called customer service who were new to this product, yet they guided me in how to remove the 2nd side of the adhesive cover. I leave them in place until the part that I use against my skin no longer adheres. I do wish it was similar to my other Ten unit pads, but I don't think those would stay in place, more so if I am walking about.
A product meant for cramping, is being used (although not recommended by the company) for scar tissue relief and reduction for bladder spasms.
Thank you for a great product!!
There is so little instructions as to settings that I'm not sure how to really use it.
Mine is not rechargeable
