Hello to you all.. I had stents fitted just under 3 years ago .. I have made a great recovery and I feel good.. except my foot ache so much due to being on my feet 9 hours at work.. my question is can anyone tell me whether it is safe for me to use the electronic foot massages.. I don’t want to pay out over £100 for one if it isn’t safe for me to use..

Many thanks

Lynn

Hi Lynn

I have a pacemaker fitted following a CA and I was told by my cardiology team not to use my Revitive foot massager as it could interfere with the working of my pacemaker and had to give it away I would check with your cardiologist as we are all different

Good luck

David
