When I saw this thread, I remembered hearing from a friend of mine that suffered from gout that he used his TENS unit and it really helped him relieve the pain and it is all natural.
Did a quick google on "gout" and "tens unit" and sure enough = results.

Like I was saying, these things are great for all kind of things. Worth looking in to and not that expensive, no drugs involved, and helps build muscle definition as well.
Take care, I hope this was helpful to someone. Dan |
I do not have gout but my elderly mother gets it from time to time. From what I know of it I cant help but think that this TENS unit might not work because anything touching her skin in the affected area would send pain shooting every where. Since these electrodes (for lack of a better word) need to be placed on the skin I cant help but think it might be more painful that helpful. I guess all cases are different and this is certainly something to look into.
