Quell Relief
Drug free wearable relief. Has anyone tried this?
I am working my way through the reviews on Amazon...Most seem to find that it works...But find fault in the design & the expensive electrodes.

it looks like it might be worth a try...it says a 60 day money back guarantee. Just came across some using it on one of my BC FB pages and they said it helped alot.

Hi Dejaboo, my daughter just bought this for me and I have worn it for one day (yesterday) for about 6 hours and I have to say, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It is $$$ and it costs about 30 bucks a month for the electrodes, but for me, it might be worth every dime. I will update after a few weeks.
-
I got mine a week ago - I"m very impressed, I've been able to cut my pain pills by half, my pain has decreased by at least 50%, probably more, and it's helping at night too. I think it may be worth the money.
-
So far, am thinking it definitely is cutting my pain enough to call it a success. Is it 100% improvement? No, but an improvement for sure. I did not use it for a few days and felt the difference. I am going to keep it.
-
Almost a month in....definitely keeping it. Not pain free, but at least a 50% decrease in pain. Lowered my pain pills to half, hope to eventually get off of them. My problem is I've been overdoing because of the pain reduction, need to pace myself.

I just ordered mine. There is a Facebook page made by a customer. It's called Quell Users Group it's a small group now but it might me worth joining. I did just to share experience from a post cancer treatment pain point of view.
I use a tens machine now but am in bed much of the time I have typical Pmps pain and atypical. I'm almost three yrs out of treatment and have had pain for most of that time and I tried to live w it but now it's worsening and I'm trying to find help and answers which is very hard I have no quality of life so I'm praying something gives.
Quell won't work for everyone so I'm hoping it might work for me there is a good return policy though.
-
Just asked to join...mine is still helping me.

I have used a small OTC battery-operated TENS unit for a couple of years now, and it works very well on back pain, as well as a nasty bursitis suffered as the result of a dual gluteal (minimus & medius) tear. I sometimes have to fight my son for it, as we both have hinky lower backs. I’ve never tried the Quell, but I might look into the Aleve model, which seems to have bigger electrodes than the one I use (i forget the name) and is wireless to boot. Always good to have a second one around the house.
-
I am still getting some relief from mine thank goodness! Not enough that I would call it an unqualified success, but I notice a difference when I don't use it for sure.
-
I've been using the Quell for about a week now. I'm going to try it another week....it has not been what I had hoped for. But then of course, neither are the medications!
