Hi Mike & Tammy,

The TENS units are used on all sorts of pain including post surgical & phantom pain for amputees. Hopefully your doctor or physical therapist has instructed to keep stump wrapped or wear shrinker. (swelling increases pain). Also every PT dept I have worked in has several TENS units they loan out to their out patients for trial use to see if there is any benefit before you spend the $$$$$$$. Much amputee pain reduces when you get fitted for socket & start walking. Hang in there- Donna
