    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.

    Please do let us know how you are getting on and feel free to get involved in any existing conversations, or make your own.

    Take care
