Muscle massager gun Vs. TENS Unit?

My sister is looking for a tool to possibly help her neuropathy in her feet. Anyone know what might help more, a muscle massager/gun or a TENS unit?
She's wondering if any relief can be an option if nerves are nearly dead? 😕

Found this online, a person here also has neuropathy and pain and numbness in their feet and mentions a TENS unit.

When I tore my tendon in my left arm I was going to physical therapy and they would put two pads on or around that area and then would set the intensity on the TENS unit.

After I had my surgery I was in a soft cast for 6 weeks or something, and when that came off my arm was frozen... I wasn't able to bend my elbow so had to do more physical therapy for that, again with the TENS unit.

That's been my only experience with TENS units, I don't know how it would work with someone who has neuropathy though.

I would definitely consult with a doctor for their recommendation.
