Hi, Ive had RLS since my twenty's Im now 74 and since I was 60 Ive been OK. Four fingers up from your out side ankle bone press hard if its sore this is where the sensation

up the leg is coming from. Ive use different treatment which worked on this pain point but now I use for ease of use a TSUBO which you can find on ebay from japan for about £12. just follow the instructions, I found its easy to set this point off with digging the garden so I dont do it. rubbing some Movelat gel four fingers up from ankle bone gives sort term relief but only if its sore to start with.

I searched for tsubo online, but got a brand of shoe. I will try the pressure though to see it if helps. 🙂

Hi, use to be many on ebay but now just one ,new esthetic pot silver vase (tsubo)

mine was gold at £12 this one is £21 but its worth it . is it sore 4 fingers above ankle

bone first, the tsubo will find lots more pain points on legs which all seam to be connected .

It's great that you found a relief mechanism! I presume that you are talking about the TSUBO book of Oriental pressure points - Yeah - Gardening can be pretty painful and I am in the same place - just don't do it...

Go to Gmc54. You may not garden but what other activity do you do that impacts

your leg and makes this point sore.

I cant find anything about this on line. Maybe give some info on what the acronym is for?

I found a device called a tsubo-oshi sasuki pressure point massage tool which looks like it might be what you are talking about?

Hi! Are you talking about this?
