Oh yeah, but it hurts to bend, but it helps a little. My pain is from a surgery and the surgeon didn't get all of the ruptured disc out and a lot of scar tissue has grown around it. My left calf and foot are partially, permanently numb. I've just been in bed too much lately. It's the lack of moving that makes it worse. Ice helps a lot. I may need to take a muscle relaxer. And I'm all tense bc my period wants to start, I can feel it...
