I new when I started too repair the kitchen sink water leak that I might set of my Rl s because I was having to bend my legs getting up and down a lot, no problems all night but the next afternoon I felt it coming on in my right leg, it was pulsing every 15 seconds, so I bent my leg up to my chest ,when it pulsed found it was from above my ankle area, useing my modified vibrator in circular motion around the very painful areas till the pain subsided, then I realised there was a pain point above my knee.W hen I went to bed after stretch the back of my legs no problem but I think when you've had Rl s for a long time it takes a while to methodically treat these areas.

As I mentioned I made a Tusubo massager from a 7 inch vibrator purchased from ebay for £5 cut the tip off and heat glued a 1cm steel ball in place.

Maximum revs works best for me🤔

I'm still Rl s free writing this😃

I use a massage gun.

I'm up several times during the night with my legs but 5-10 minutes with my massage gun gives me enough relief to get back into bed to sleep for a bit more. It's a much better alternative to my walking up and down stairs or along the hall and back for 30 minutes.

I was getting too cold to sleep with the wandering but I can use the gun in bed. It doesn't wake up my OH as his snoring is louder!

Congrats on your modification, though.

Hi, massage guns don't find the trigger point which are very painful so I go round them until the pain fades ,you may find when you've treated one you'll find another .
