“Does anyone else seem to build up "tolerance" after using their Quell for a few days? I have to keep raising the intensity higher until eventually my leg cramps to get some pain relief...and then I can't walk. Switching legs/positions helps temporarily.”

Yes, your body will build tolerance to the sensation from the electrodes. What I have found works best for ME, is to calibrate each time I put it back on. I will actually wait until I can feel sensations on the opposing sides of the electrodes, basically each end, instead of when I first feel the "tingle" That way, the baseline intensity is higher. It is also possible that your particular kind of pain is just not as easily managed. I don't mind the multiple calibrations to ensure the best effective usage. It has been a welcome addition to my pain management regimen and I have been able to come off of some pharma.
