Pain Away Pen

I was just reading one of my magazines and I saw this advertised. I've just looked on the net and it's got some quite good reviews so I thought I would share it with you as I know some in here suffer with pain or arthritis etc.

Worth a try I suppose.

Anyone heard of it?



Pain Away Pen and Pain Gone Pen

Re: Pain Away Pen

I use one occasionally when my knee starts playing up. It is a piezoelectric gadget which fires a small electric charge into the affected area thus causing numbness. Same principle as the sparker on an electric lighter.

Works okay for a while.

Not a bad price but you can get two on Amazon for £40

Re: Pain Away Pen

I have one which I use on my hands, unfortunately I can't say I've noticed any difference.

Re: Pain Away Pen

Similar to 'Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation' Lion Queen, I've had some good results on my back in the past....

Re: Pain Away Pen

I've got a Pain Gone pen, Queenie.
One of my yoga teachers told me about them a year or two back, so I sent off for one for when my back plays up.
They are powered by quartz crystals.

I won't say it is a miracle cure, because it's not - well not for me anyway, although of course it is difficult to use on one's own back!

You have to be careful though. There are certain parts of your body you must not use it e.g.

In or around your eyes.
On the Carotid artery.
On the front or side of your neck.
Over the heart or directly over metal implants.
On open wounds.
Or on wet skin.

Also, some people should not use one either:

People with a pacemaker.
Or if you suffer from epilepsy.
Or during pregnancy.
Thge instructions also say "not suitable for children" but I don't think that is clear enough because I don't know if they mean don't use on a child, or children mustn't use it!

Other than these restrictions, you put the pen on the point of pain or an acupuncture point and click the button 30-40 times. This takes only about one minute or so, so you click quite fast.
The instruction leaflet says lifespan of the pen is approvimately 100,000 clicks.

I haven't used mine for quite a long time now, but perhaps will give it another try if I start getting too uncomfortable again.

I don't want to sound negative, but I do believe different things work for different people.

No, that's not negative, I agree with you Mupsy, I just saw it in my mag and I know lots on here have pains and aches so thought I'd mention it. I saw a lot of people mentioning it helped with fibromyalgia in the reviews so I might mention it to my best friend whose daughter suffers with it. x

Thanks for that Paula.
I might have to look into that.
