Vibration plate for RA

[LinaM]

Has anyone tried using a whole body vibration plate for pain relief? I’ve just been on one for the first time in years ( was too scared to ), and my hands feel amazingly free. My fingers were so sore and stiff before and I only did 5 mins! Now I’m worried I may pay for it tomorrow but will enjoy it while it lasts. 😊

I'll be interested to see how you feel tomorrow Lina - I have an old vibration plate (not like the ones you see in gyms) but I hardly ever use it, it's a Power Maxx. It must be about two years ago when I used it last. I have thought about it over the last several months but was too afraid it use it in case it caused a flare.

I’ll keep you posted Springcross! Feeling quite good so far but the morning is the true test 🙏 ... (mine is an old one too )

Update .... So far so good😊 My feet weren’t as stiff this morning and no difference in finger pain . Will wait till tomorrow to have another go !

That's really good news Lina, I'm pleased for you and hope that tomorrow will be too. Thanks for letting me know, you have given me food for thought. xx

I've been considering this as my mum recently acquired one and I'm terrified for a go as the lawn mower can cause a full blown hand flare lol. Please keep us posted as you go on Lina, if its a reasonably good help I'd love to give it a go.

Will do ! I got my long awaited hairdo today so didn’t want to spoil it hehe. Will try again tomorrow 😊

I haven’t used a full body one but did try a foot plate one. On the lowest setting for only a couple of minute. Oh my god did I pay for it my knees have never been so bad I the pain I had afterwards was excruciating. I’m very pleased you seemed to get some relief but for me NO WAY NEVER AGAIN.
