This really works!

I was in agony for weeks with a really painful tennis elbow and golfer's elbow on my right arm.
I tried creams...Deep Heat, Movalat, Ibuprofen gel (max strength) and Ibuprofen tablets with paracetamols. None of them worked and the pain was unbearable.
I saw this Paingone device and thought I'd give it a try. Honestly, it worked straight away and I managed to get pain free in just few days.
The device is brilliant and small enough to take anywhere.

Well worth it

I read about the paingone and looked at their site for information.
All was positive and as my wife has problems with her knees,I thought it was worth a try.
Only ordered the one, as with most things you are not sure.The delivery was quicker than expected and was nicely packaged and very informative.
What surprised me most is after a couple of days my wife said she could feel a difference,not that its a cure but it does help to relieve the pain.
Considering the price and how long the battery lasts its well worth it,she'll be ordering another in the future.

Hi.

Going from 'unbearable pain' to being pain-free in just a few days is exactly why we do what we do. It’s amazing how such a small device can outperform all those creams and tablets when it comes to stubborn issues like tennis elbow.

Now that you’ve hit that 'sweet spot' of relief, the goal is to stay there! Even on days when your arm feels 10/10, a quick 3-session daily habit acts as a shield to keep that inflammation from creeping back.

We’re so glad you can finally get back to your routine without the agony.

Thanks for the brilliant review!!

Suitability for heart problems.

I wish I had known that it wasn't suitable for people with atrial fibrilation before I purchased it.

Absolutely brilliant is all I can say

Absolutely brilliant is all I can say ! I was in pain with my shoulder for several weeks , tried the usual topical gels ,various pain killers without much luck , could hardly raise my arm and trying to put a coat on was Nye on impossible. After four days of using Pain Gone it greatly improved after a week I was discomfort free ! I must admit I didn't expect much but thought I'd give it a go and so glad I did. I used the pen for 90 Second burst on a daily basis and boom 💥 it sorted me right out. Thanks Pain Gone 👍

Useful piece of kit

Ordered my Paingone TENS pen direct from the company online. Really straightforward and it arrived very quickly.
I have trochanteric bursitis together with sciatica 😱 and have found some relief from using the pen. I think I may be expecting a bit much but it does give some relief.

My little zapper.

I don't like taking lots of tablets but as you get older it seems This is the only way to feel pain free. However after a family member recommend the pain plus I have not looked back. This portable little pain plus fits perfectly in my handbag so I can zap away the pain. Even works through denim. Perfect little zapper 😀
