it's a massager called Jeanie Rub and it's WONDERFUL!! It doesn't take all of the pain away but it tones it down from horrible to anywhere from tolerable to pretty damn good. I first discovered it when another client that goes to Pressing On brought it in to share and love it so much I just bought my own. I found it on Amazon for $167 and it's WELL worth the money I think. I was in so much pain this morning it was hard to move and even get out of bed but after using that I finally feel like I can function for the day!! Just wanted to share that with everyone!!!!

Get yourself a variable speed oscillating sander for £20.00 and stick a bit of foam on the plate where you would normally put the sandpaper. Same thing! Invest the money saved in nice red wine.

wow talk about a bubble burster!! I was just trying to be nice and let other people know what worked for me--guess I should have kept it to myself?? I was excited about it and wanted to help someone else if I could. kinda puts me off from sharing anything else----but FYI greybeard--I'm enjoying my massager AND WHITE wine just fine, thank you

I was not being sarcastic. I too was trying to help by sharing knowledge.

If you compare the two bits of equipment, you will see they are almost identical except for the foam foot - - and the price!

Glad you have found something to relieve your nerve pain; I found Gabapentin worked wonders for me, but we're all different.

Don't take offence at Greybeard, he's a tight fisted old Scrooge.. :mfrlol:
