Hi Jeanette, Mel and Sarah
Can anyone tell me if I can use a TENS machine for severe SPD pain?
I'm in pain all the time now and not really mobile and my gp, midwife, physio and consultant just tell me to take 2 paracetamol 4 times a day. When I've cracked a couple of times and taken 2 paracetamol it hasn't really reduced the pain anyway. I have been told to take stronger drugs but am reluctant to take them.
I don't want to take this level of painkillers (I'm 30 weeks now) in case it harms the baby.
Can I use a TENS machine safely
Thanks.
