I am thinking of buying an I-comfort foot massager, this is calf length and you put your foot and legs into it,anyone any experiences with it? My PN is such that I have a problem with blood flow into the feet, most of the time there just isn't enough blood as my feet are deathly pale so I thought this would have been ideal. I tried the Clio massager which massages your whole leg in a sock filled with air contraption but as my feet constantly burn this was too hot. Any thoughts would be appreciated as this is an expensive item.

I have not tried this but I know I could not tolerate this but everyone is different. Are you sure this one does not heat up like the other one that did not work? Have you tried alternatives like epsom salt baths,pool therapy,supplements?

Hi Daniella I do this every so often when the pain becomes unmanageable I look for a magic cure. I work in a college that has a Beauty Therapy Department and recently have had a few treatments, Swedish massage being one- the lecturer put me on a full body lymphatic drainage machine and I felt wonderful for a few days afterwards- I thought this machine was worth a try but after investigating I sources one on eBay for a VERY small fraction of the price- I am going to put my Clio machine for sale tomorrow and this should cover my costs.
I just thought it was worth a try and i will resell if it is useless.
My best treatments so far are Epsom Salt footbaths and Alkaseltzer as well as the lignacaine infusions I am getting every 6-8 weeks (although I should get them oftener).
I will let you know how the massager turns out( and I know it won't be great but just need to try something)

If you felt better after that sweedish massage why not look into that more often?
It is common and I have done the same look for a product to help for relief. Not to say this product is but may are a waste and often I feel companies know their target audience is desparate for relief and why their is such a high expense. Maybe since you feel the massage and infusions are helpful you could put the money towards that?
