what settings do you use for your TENS unit? 

I bump it up until it stings, then back it down one or two clicks. Usually end up around 4-5.

Too strong?

I'm going get MRI Friday. Been battling pain in my right arse that shoots down my leg. My left thumb is now numb. Something has to be pinching my sciatic nerve. Just hope it's not a disc issue.

Sounds like it could be a trigger point. I not only have these in my lower back, but I've palpates them in many patients.

I give trigger point injections with a homeopathic anti-inflammatory and lidocaine (numbing agent). This can give amazing results.
