Leg Massagers

Hi, I have been using leg massagers for a few weeks now. Just 20 mins before bed. They work well for me plus 3 Pregabalin tabs.

That's great.

What kind of massager is it.?

I use a leg massager when I get breakthrough jumpy legs between medications. It is called Therapulse. It has several settings of pulses and attaches to the limb with a Velcro strap which can be adjusted for size. I do find it works after a while and I leave it on for about ten minutes by which time my leg has settled down. I am intending to buy another one as sometimes they both jump and jerk ar once. I can’t remember where I bought it from but if you put it into a search engine you will find out.

I have used Therapulse. I have mixed results. If I catch the legs at an early stage before it's in full swing, it can work. If RL starts suddenly at full pace, then its too late. That's just my experience.

Yes, I have to use massagers before RSL starts. For me its about an hour after I get to bed. Highly recommend them. Hope they work for others too.

Been thinking of getting a massager for legs. I have been on pregabalin for 3 weeks and feel it is helping with my problem. Only on 50mg. Pregabalin tabs.
