I've bought some socks for my legs they called compression socks and help contract your muscles when needed. I usually get really bad knots ans tight muscles which my legs becomes stiff and my feet too. It's my first day trying them on. See how they go. Atm they feel good. I need some form of pressure on my legs. Will upload a pik later as im wearing them on atm lol

Lol I have to pay for my medication I'm so glad I don't depend on medication for pain relief. I try to find alternative relief.

It would cost a fortune if i had to pay for prescriptions. I think we should all get free prescriptions😀

Well I'm not entitled to any benefits to get free prescription.
