Acticare TSE Machine- good reviews and bargain!

Postby ciderpig122 » Fri Sep 30, 2011 4:30 pm

Ive been doing some googling (again) in desperation and seen that a few people here and elsewhere have a TSE machine,

Its like a tens and is more expensive @ £199 (this is vat free if you have had chronic pain for 3 months £250 if not)

They offer money back guarentee you have 28 days to try it and if you are not happy you get a full refund.

Now, i cant afford £200 upfront, so ive called the docs, the council etc for help (DLA declined etc blah) so I called acticare...............they do 4 month installments @£49 a month!!!!!!!! with free next day delivery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you arent happy you can have a full refund within 28 days

there is a link on their website to an article where Prof Grahame is talking about them being good too for a kid with hypermobility

Just thought I would share this! :)

Hi, Ive had one of these for a year now, and apart from having to order replacement pads due to a skin allergy to the standard ones, I've had no problems with it. My family helped me buy it, as it is a lot, but I wouldn't be without it now :D . It really drains battery power though, so I have 2 sets of high power rechargeable batteries (2 sets of 4 AA batteries needed) so I can have another set available without having to wait for it to charge itself. The batteries need to be very high power though, so unfortunatly the cheaper rechargeables won't do. :S

I've had mine for a while now and really love it. For me it eases the pain much better than a TENS machine would, plus it's not localised to just one area. The only down side is having to remember to recharge the batteries, as I go through three sets at work each day. Having couple of rechargers has proven to be very handy.

Also, I've spoken to my gp about the machine and she said that it is fine to use during pregnancy as well, which is good news.
