I bought one today, used it in a few areas for 15mins and actually feeling quite good. Not taken nearly as many painkillers as I normally do because I haven't got any until monday, but I'm not in agony like I expected to be.
I'm using it for my chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia and some other problems with my legs. So, so far I highly recommend trying it, it says mainly used for back pain online, but can be used most areas other than the face/head and front of neck. I'll update after a week or so to let you know any further progress. For those in the UK, they are half price in Lloyds Pharmacies if you've been thinking of getting one anyway and waiting for a sale or to have enough money. |

This frog of little brain is happy to here you found something that really works. I'm not a pill person and I hate that I have to dope myself up just to get out of bed in the morning.
Please keep us updated.  kebs

You say you're supposed to?! It's up to you if you want one, no one else, it's not something that is going to be lifesaving.
So far, it seems to be working quite well on me. I guess it depends on the cause of the pain, but I'm feeling alright and not taking nearly as many painkillers. But, I'm not at work at the moment, which makes a huge difference to my pain level, so when I go back we'll soon see! |

Anna in the states you need an Rx to get one. Hubby is going through that process now (doctor has to submit paperwork to insurance for approval etc.) so he won't have drive to physcial therapy as often.

Anna, if you have an extended health plan it may be covered if recommended.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
