Paingone pen

[Tefler]

Has anybody tried the Paingone pen?  It's supposed to work like a TENS machine, without, the advertising says  actually being a TENS machine.  Rather, it works with TNS.  This I don't understand. If you've tried it, did it work?

Also, there's a similar-looking product with similar advertising claims produced by Healthwize.  This is about half the price of the Paingone version.  Is there any difference?

Thanks for your answer, Marvin.  I'd seen that article, but still can't find anything comparing the two versions - Paingone and Healthwize.

Sorry the link didn't help...although it looked a little gimmicky to me (a BIIIIGGGG pain sufferer)...The TENS should be more than adequate as it has settings that can simulate what I think the pen was trying to achieve.... I have been using mine for about a year or so and it's FABULOUS... there's nothing like your own endorphines for pain relief!

You may like to try a pain clinic (do you have those over there??? if not there are some in Australia). They specialise in pain management and may know of someone who has used this gadget..... see how you go!!

Best of luck.... !!

Thanks again, Marvin.  I'm actually thinking about it for my mother, who's developed pain in her neck (no, it's not me!) which the doctors can do nothing for.  The TENS is good, but the pen looks even more convenient.  Or maybe I should accompany her on a trip to Australia!
