Revitive is mentioned quite positively on The UK Diabetes site.

I think it’ll be fine Carol.

I use a tens machine which works by electrical stimulation and it has no effect on my heart rhythm.

I have used it Carol and had no problem but start on a low setting first few times to check no unwanted effect.

My wife bought one last January and has used it every day since. She hasn't had any adverse effects. She's had 2 ablations for AF - the second was successful (touch wood!) and using the Revitive doesn't seem to be a problem. She's not sure whether there's any benefit using it but she enjoys it especially if she keeps it at about 30. One thing though - anyone with a pacemaker shouldn't use it.

Many thanks too everyone's advice I'm still a little unsure about buying. I get so much pain constantly but its lot money to spend if it doesn't realive much pain. At this time I'm using Cura heat pads which are very good but quite expensive so i only use every second day.

Thanks to everybody replying
