Hi, I am a student physio and I know a little about the uses of electrophysical agents in pain management. I have a friend whose father who is suffering after an operation he had which resulted in damaged to a nerve. He is complaining of pain down one leg and he is taking pain killers to manage this. I don’t know a great deal about his medical history, only that he has had multiple operations because of cancer. His doctor told him and his family that the only thing they can do for the pain related to the damaged nerve is medication but I was wondering whether TENS could be useful? Would it be worth while visiting a physio to try this, and perhaps purchasing an at-home device? Or is there anything else someone can suggest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated (honestly not a student question, concerned friend question).
