I have the three balls in the magnassager, they pop out.

I'll take them out, put them on Alan's thighs and put something around it so they don't fall off.

Will update.

thanks so much.

P.S. I just googled poor circulation and a whole bunch of stuff came up on Peripheral Vascular Disease.
Now Alan was checked for that when he went years ago to Coney Island Hospital. The worst place in the world by the way. They did a doppler (or something down by his legs) and the guy said "you have 20%". That's all I can remember but the guy said "this is not what is causing the PN".

I copied and pasted.

What causes poor circulation to the foot:
Poor circulation is most commonly caused by a progressive blocking of the arteries in the leg (athersclerosis). Those with diabetes are more likely to develop poor circulation to the foot. Other risk factors for developing poor circulation include a lack of physical activity,smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

The effects of poor circulation (peripheral vascular disease) on the foot:
The biggest affect of poor circulation on the foot, is that its problems (such as sores, infections, cuts, etc) develop, they do not heal as well as they should. In many cases they do not heal at all without special care. The reason for this is that the blood carries vital elements (eg oxygen) that the bodies tissues need for vitality and healing.

Treatment of poor circulation:
Poor circulation can be treated by your doctor or vascular surgeon in a number of ways:

* Good control of the blood glucose level is very important if diabetes is present.

* Other risk factors - such as lack of exercise; high blood pressure; smoking; and high cholesterol levels also need to be addressed.

* Drugs can be used to prevent the blood clotting (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants).

* Angioplasty can be used to enlarge the narrowed peripheral arteries.

* A vein from another part of the body can be used to bypass the narrow or blocked artery can be used by the vascular surgeon.

Now, I know that this is a stretch, but the fact that Alan had to get a stent in his chest because of a blockage, and because when I massage his thighs and his calves, he goes to heaven, could this be a POSSIBILITY!!!!


Now Alan is already going to the gym, he lost weight, he's on plavix, and I have no idea if indeed they will find out it's his circulation (BECAUSE ULTIMATELY IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS DOING THIS?', right??

I'm sure whichever doctor he goes to now will test him for Peripheral Vascular disease. Is there a definitive test so that when the doctor gets the results, he will go : "Aha, Alan, now we know, this is what you have". or OH SHOOT, YOU DON'T HAVE IT!!!"

Thanks guys,
