They get better after a while. Try wearing a good pair of cotton socks and work your way up. Fifteen minutes in the am when you wake up and putz around making tea, etc. and then again in the evening for fifteen minutes. It means things are adjusting in your body. Hang in there. They really help.

While you are getting used to them and breaking in all these nerve points you need to stay seated down in your chair and just roll your feet back forth while wearing.... do this for a week and you will build your tolerance up to be able to walk on them and get deep into your foot tissue

i personally would not use them ,but ask for a refund .They should not be like that what so ever . they should feel smooth not wet, and have a lovely vanilla smell . nothing else !

Mine frequently get stuck at the back of my throat if I don't eat something immediately after taking them. No amount of liquid helps me personally once they've broken open.

Yes, it was more difficult that I anticipated. I would not buy them again, keep looking for the other style.

I bought this item, and they were so high, it hurt my back to sit on them. I tried to get used to them, but I found myself picking them up to sit on the hard wood. Other than that, they are very nice.

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them. For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete.

I find them very difficult to open. I have to cut through the blister pack, but even then they are difficult to remove. I wish they came in a bottle. I am 67 years old with arthritis so blister packs of any kind require extra effort.

Sounds like they are bad to me. You should contact the seller and/or amazon and let them know so that you can get your money back. None of the ones that I received were bitter. I tried to sprout one also, and it did not sprout. That leads me to believe that these are not truly raw. They were delicious though...

They will help support your wrists and that should also alleviate some of the discomfort! Try also varying the position of your wrists ie: try leaning a tiny bit forward or backward

I take them all at once. Because of their taste, I take them with some type of soda pop.. sort of kills the taste. Hope these help you as much as they have me! I can finally sleep all night and hadn't before because of the pain. In the beginning, I took 3 in the morning and that was it. Now I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the late evening so they don't wear off during my sleep.

Have you played before? If not than that's normal. I haven't played in years and they hurt my fingers for the first few times.

I think they are. I haven't used them for that purpose, but they are tight enough to hurt if you pinch your little finger tip with them. (Other fingers were too big to test. Hope you appreciate my willingness to suffer!)

You can when you get practice with thembecause they come out the box really sharp. The first time i got them i kept cutting myself so just get used to them first before you do.

Please think twice before purchasing these. They are very dangerous. They don't stay put. Very painful. I don't remember how many came in a pack. I threw them away once people started getting hurt.
