I have chronic pain from arthritis in my SI joint and lumbar spine. I am getting a TENS unit. Anyone had good or bad experiences with this?

My Dad had one he used for more than 20 years with good results. It helps a large number of people.
Good luck Hope it helps you too.

I was prescriped a TENS unit years ago after I suffered whiplash due to an automobile accident. I absolutely loved that machine. It took a little getting used to, however the results were great. I'd say it is worth a try.

I have a TENS unit and I use it whenever my back or knees start hurting.It usually works pretty well, but I have to leave it on for quite a while before feel any results.

a tens unit works great at taking away the pain you have, you just have to be careful when you are wearing it so that you dont hurt yourself more because you don't have any pain when wearing it

a tens unit can provide some benefit, however if the problem that causes your pain is not fixed it will recur. have you seen a physical therapist?
