RELIXA

I did a lot of research before letting my daughter order this, mainly because I have a drawer full of gadgets that did not work. Pillows, creams, a TENS unit I used twice. I was skeptical that something like this would work on arthritis I have had for 8 years. Was I ever wrong. By the second week the morning stiffness was easing, and last Sunday I sat through the whole 9 o'clock service without shifting once. On damp days I do 2 sessions instead of 1. I wish I had found it before the injections.

I'm 73 with arthritis in my neck. Heat has always been the only thing that helps, but heating pads sit on the surface and quit, and mine wouldn't even lay flat anymore. This reaches deeper. I use it in my chair after dinner, 15 minutes, one button. The relief holds past breakfast, which no pad ever did. My hands don't go numb at night like they used to either.

My wife has cervical stenosis and the surgeon said at her age the best plan was to manage it. That word did not sit well with either of us after 45 years of marriage. 6 weeks in, she is back to cooking Sunday dinner and I have to wait my turn for the device after yard work. The narrowing is still on her scan. The pain that came with it is mostly not. We should have ordered 2.

The burning at the base of my skull is almost gone and I am sleeping through the night for the first time in years. Even my daughter noticed. I'm so much happier!
