Have to say TENS did nothing at all for me either for late pregnancy backache ("mm, now I have interesting non-unpleasant tingly sensation /and/ backache")or labour (was not even aware I still had it on, think either the NO2 or just the general intense agony must have blocked the sensation, until the midwife took it off just before D emerged). Obviously this says nothing at all for what it's like for joint pain in dogs, but I must admit I was sorely disappointed!
Vets can certainly inject steroids into horse joints, at least...
The cynic in me suggests that the reason vets may be keener than (UK) doctors to prescribe painkillers despite lack of visible effect is that this equals more income for vets, not for doctors. Too cynical? (which means doglike, funnily enough)
