As the days passed and I was not able to find any pain relief, I wondered about a TENS unit and emailed Dr. Chan. She responded:

RE: Pain Relief for Chronic Neck Pain
Dear Jackie
Thank you for your email and taking time to follow up with me.
I am not sure the guidelines of getting TENS. I think the best next step is to discuss with PHYSICAL THERAPY.
I’ve sent an electronic referral to the physical therapy department for a PHONE consultation. You can schedule this appointment online by visiting the link below. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you can use the same link.
TENS unit
Sometime after this, Linda purchased a TENS unit for me, but it did not relieve my neck pain and made me have involuntary muscle movements, which felt scary. I didn’t use it any more, but Linda used it occasionally for her back and leg pain.
