BP meds and pain relievers

Since I'm on lithium, I can't take a lot of ibuprofen and other painkillers, as they don't play well together. Instead, I'm using what they call a TENS unit for muscle pain in neck and back. Anyone had any success with these? Any other pain relieving methods? Thanks.

So staying cautious.
