I specifically asked Dr Janssen about using my TENS unit in the future, and he said no problem. No warning about where to place the pads or not, just a shrug and a 'go ahead'. I haven't used it yet as I haven't needed it, but I'd assume your doc knows what he did to you, and what you can have done now. Odd how different surgeons say different things with the same implant!
