You may get SOME relief, but I would not expect complete relief with anything.

Chronic pain is best managed in a multidisciplinary team approach. If you are not currently under the care of a dedicated pain management clinic/specialist program - I would highly recommend that.

Reply to Family Physician's Post: THIS RS MEDICAL ELECTROTHERAPY STIMULATOR IS SUPPOSE TO RELEIVE THE PAIN BUT ITS NOT ONLY CUMBERSOME, BUT INEFFECTIVE. I WAS TOLD TO USE IT FOR AWHILE, OR RETURN IF NOT SATISFIED. I HAVE USED IT FOR 2 MONTHS WITH LITTLE OR NO RELIEF. HAVE I GIVEN IT SUFFICENT TIME TO WORK. SHOULD I CONTINUE OR RETURN IT.

If you were going to have relief - you would have had it by now. I don't expect that continued use would give you any more benefit than you have already received.
