My new tens unit arrived last Saturday. When we opened the box, I saw that it is so much more involved than the previous tens unit I had!!!
I really couldn’t understand why it was so different but this is a different medical facility then when I first received it in December 2017. I was lucky that my Mom went to the orthopedist last Friday for her finger, he explained the differences to her and how I should best use it.
I know I have posted pictures of my tens unit before that looked like a pager from the 90s. This one looks a little different:
it took some time, but I think we have figured it out. I will keep it in the tens unit mode for the duration of me wearing it. The battery will definitely die quickly. I was given for additional batteries in the package with the leads that I received.
We called Zynex before I started using it, and ‘Jennifer’ helped us. She told us to call when we need anything. I think that this medical supply company is different than my normal medical supply companies. She asked if I was still in litigation regarding this matter. I told her, “Yes.” so it seems like I will have a second medical supply company sending me supplies. I never once expected my life to be like this!!!
I really like that I can see the lights easily. It was not that easy to look at the lights on the last tens unit I had. It will be like this for the rest of my life. But somehow, that is just a little bit daunting… or a lot!!!
