USB Acupuncture Pen, USB Rechargeable, Electronic Acupuncture Pen 5 Massage Head Function Spheroidal, Node Type, Dome Type, Scrapping, Tapping. Meridian Energy Pain Therapy Relief. User Manual

I was visiting with a friend that had this and couldn't believe the relief I had after using it for 10-15 minutes. The pain relief continued through the day and for the next 36 hours so I ordered one! I've had severe carpal tunnel in my left hand, experience almost continual pain &/or numbness thought the day and wear a wrist brace when I sleep at night. I use it every other day or so and it's continued to help reduce or eliminate the pain I've had for years. I also use this on my lower back, bottoms of my feet and any other areas that I experience pain. If I do not use this for more than two days, the pain does come back and it's my reminder to take the time to use it! If you have someone use this on you, the slight stinging sensation is less than if you do this to yourself. I use this on myself so I start at a low number and work my way up, if needed. The longer you use it in a session the more accustomed to the poking sensation you become. I have worked from 1-2 range to the 7-9 range in one session. And not all sessions are the same. I've noticed different times of day I'm more sensitive to the stinging so I use a lower frequency when that happens and it still works. If I have a long session 15-20min+ I will drink extra water since I do believe this helps eliminate toxins from your body.The quality of the pen itself is definitely not great but for about $20 this is extremely affordable and works so I would still purchase this again if needed, as well as recommend it to others. I've had it for about 2-3 weeks and still use it frequently because it works!

Much better than any other pen I have invested in so far. USB Li-ion battery is a huge upegrade! The curvature allows me to use it on others on backs and vice versa for myself.I can strap it to a spot with having to hold it all the time. There no auto shut off so make sure to power it off, but being rechargeable is clutch.

Everyone is different, but we all hate pain. I bought this because acupuncture worked wonders for me, but my insurance doesn't cover it & an emergency stopped the pain treatment I was getting. Frankly, I was desperate.I have ruptured disks in my neck & back (hit by a drunk driver) fibromyalgia & cluster headaches. My neurologist was injecting me with 18-25 cortisone shots every 8 weeks. All of that cortisone brought on diabetes. No more shots & the infusion treatments I got for cluster headaches also had to stop.When I got this, I liked the feeling that I was in control of my pain. Instead of painful needles in my neck, I got a pleasant nerve stimulation & relief. But I was still skeptical. Maybe something else was helping the pain?Then I loaned it to a friend for her to try & she lost it. I bought this one within an hour. When I knew I couldn't be without it, is when I realized that this was really working for me.This pen model gives less hand buzz than the first one from this maker. I don't usually use a higher setting than 3. And I did overdo it one time & used it longer than suggested & I had pretty sore shoulder muscles, so be please careful.Is this safe for people with pacemakers or defibrillators? I don't know. PLEASE ask your doctor.When you have chronic pain or illness, you know you get lots of advice from people who may mean well, but it can be hurtful or feel dismissive. Such as "You just need to exercise." or "Have you tried yoga?"So, I won't give advice. This little pen has been a blessing for my pain. And I wish you all the best.

I ordered one, and used it for a few minutes right when I got it. I then went to plug in the charger, and the port for the cable just fell inside the device, rattling around.I got a replacement... it worked, it charged, then it never turned back on. I tried to initiate a return, but there was some BS about me having to physically mail it to Amazon.... even though on the return page it states that you should NOT return anything which contains a lithium ion battery. Now I'm getting emails saying they are going to charge me for not sending it back. (BTW, with the first one, I checked and a customer service agent told me to NOT send it back)It's literally a piece of garbage.

I love the concept of an easier to use TENS Unit that is compact and has multiple attachment heads, but this item has severe flaws to it.One, it feels cheaply made. Basically it feels plastic or whatever the equivalent is for conductive material. This is felt right out of the box. Even the buttons feel flimsy.Second, and more importantly, the item has no insulator material on the handle. This means that any level of 4 and beyond sends pulses through the hand holding the item; the higher the level, the more severe the pulse. This is quite uncomfortable and could've been avoided with a little more investment into the product. A proper handle coating or material would've saved this product.It seems that there are a lot of similar items on Amazon with duplicate issues. For the time being, I'd suggest a regular TENS Unit. For now, I can't even use this item on the proper level for more than 20 seconds.

Received this today and the first thing I noticed was how light and cheap it feels. I charged it for 6 hours like it says in the directions. I had trouble getting it to turn on. After a few tries it finally turned on. It doesn't feel very strong so I'm thinking about returning it. I'm going to charge it some more tulare see if that's the problem and will update my review at a later time but as for now, I'm very disappointed.
