I've been kindly leant a TENS machine for upcoming labour (I'm 33 weeks at the mo), and I wondered how many sticky pads things I should get...?
I have sciatica so am keen to attempt to use it to help with that once I get past 37 weeks (it may have gone perhaps!) and then would use machine in labour and perhaps afterwards for period/shoulder pains post partum (booklet shows how to help with both).
I'm trying to understand if pads are reusable or just one go.
They are £5-£7/ pack of 4, do I need to buy 12 pads for what I need it for, or will 8 (or even just 4?) do?
It's an Elle Tens with two channels (4 pads at once)
TIA!
