Hi Jo,
I could not use my first one, but this second type is a gem. I was lent it for 30 days to see if it worked and as soon as the tech applied and started it up I felt a good thing,
I have used this one for years now and found that when I could not use my first type, that had the bee sting type burst, that this one is more massaging up and down waves. It does have 5 settings and one is the bee sting one, the other wave modulations are soothing and do help.
The days I need it, I wear it for hours. Lately it has been on the lumbar. I am dying with power outages and pain to the thighs from standing in a line or just going into Walmart for few items. Grocery shoppping I can not even do any more. I do have a rollator but dh has made comments when I take it, thinking we are just running in and out of a few stores. I get in the store and can not walk around it.
THe shoulders when I am in a flare does help with a week of using and also the biofreeze, massage, and hot tub.

I did have several pads and also could rejuice them up, when dry add a few drops of water to my finger tips and massage it to a tacky gel again.
Thanks for the reminder. I was in so ,much discomfort I could not think where to begin to help the low back tonight..
Where do you find the refill pads? I am going to need more by the end of the year?
