Guys would you shave your arm?

My physiotherapist suggests I do so because the nerve stimulation TENS device refuses to stick to my arms because of the hairs.
I don't mind that but I think it's an interesting request lol

Honestly I wonder whether I would look better if I did. I hate the majority of body hair, to be frank, but I don't mind my arm hair. So have you gotten the TENS device to work yet? How is it?

@BlueVeins That makes sense. I do like how soft my arm hairs feel though.
Yes I've been doing it on my back and arms since day one of therapy, we use plaster to hold the pads in place on my arms and then the hairs get pulled when removed lol
It's not bad I've been doing it since I was 7 but it's been a bit over a decade since I last did it.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I'm just really glad you're at least getting something in lieu of that surgery. Is it for symptom relief?

@BlueVeins It's to strengthen my nerves and improve the muscles I don't know how to explain it exactly it makes the muscles more responsive it wakes them up.
It's harmless, some people have fetishes that include them.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether that's pretty coolllllllll, so you gain some of your abilities back

@BlueVeins That's the plan. I actually should have done it before going through with the operation. But I don't think I want to re-live that experience tbh so for now everything stays the same.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Wait, are you saying that the electrocution machine might improve your nerves to a point where the surgery is a viable option?

@BlueVeins Yes plus the exercise.
