    Hello @Jimmyw

    Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us. I hope that you will find this a safe and friendly space to continue sharing with us all.

    So you have arthritis in your right hip and ankle. You are wondering if a TENS machine would help to relieve the pain in your ankle and are looking for other members opinions on this.

    I have to say I have used a TENS machine on my knees after I had total knee replacement on the advise of my doctor. I think it is very much personal preference as to whether it works for you. I do know that a few people members have experience of using them so I'm such you will get plenty of differing opinions.

    I've included some information below that may be of interest.
