Hi - just to let you know if you ever need to edit the title of your post or the content you can click on the downward arrow above (next to +Follow Post) and click on edit and then you can alter it to save you from putting up a second post correcting yourself.

In answer to your question I used to use one when my RA was bad in my hands for about a year. Only trouble was that the wax became all clagged up over time and I couldn't buy any more on it's own - the wax was only available to purchase with another wax hand bath. But I agree they are wonderfully theraputic. Not sure if I could use one anymore though because I have neuropathy and Raynaud's in my hands so maybe best to be a bit cautious if you have similar issues with your circulation.

Yes, my physio started me on them and I got one on amazon, very effective for pain but you buy a health type of wax not hair pulling out type!! Then you peel the wax off and you can do physio by rolling into a ball and squshing it!

What a great idea with rolling the used wax into a ball and exercising with it! Fantastic! I'll try that!

I have ordered more wax refills from Amazon - and yes, I have made sure it's not the dipilatory type wax!!! Doh!
