I got my tens unit in March of 2012 and my wife got hers in June of 2012. They rented it for 3 months and then it's mine.

Also, what is the minimum number of channels one should get?

Would such a unit help with the pain caused by lumbar stenosis and bulging lumbar discs?

From my limited research, it seems that the "supplies" run as much or more than the actual unit?
I looked for the one I bought from Amazon about 5 years ago which worked quite well and only $50 b it's no longer listed.

See favorable reviews on this one currently at Amazon:

That one looks like it is only a massager?
And not a Tens Unit & a massager?
