Husband loves Selectcomfort, I'm in agony, any setting. Miss my waterbed! Joint-popping pain is getting bad. Could this help?

I think this could help! My back has not bothered me as much since I got the featherbed. I would reccomend fluffing it every few days to keep it nice and soft.

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

Hello Claire - I don't think this would be a good choice. I think he'd want a cushion with memory foam and pretty thick. This cushion is not that firm on one side; the other side is a hard board. I suggest you find a medical supply company. Try www.americandiabeteswholesale.com or www.feelgoodstore.com . Cinda

I had very painful buttitis. I could barely go from a sitting to standing position due to the pain in my lower butt and top of legs. Goggled the problem. Advice was a buckwheat pillow. I sat on the pillow at my computer station. Had relief from the pain in a few hours. I also got the Japanese one for sleep. I put the pillow on my back as I am a side sleeper. I swear sleep has been so much more restful. It works.

The key word is "help". Yes, it helps, but only with frequent repositioning of the bed's occupant. My mother, who has back problems and fragile skin, finds it very comfortable. I, however, see a deep sag in the gel foam topper even when the bed goes unoccupied for several hours at a stretch. I have turned the pad over, and end for end, but the sag remains. Still, my mother enjoys it greatly and we have seen no bed sores.

It has helped me, I use it in am and put socks on and again before going to bed, take a couple of tylenol in am and good to go all day and found wearing sneakers rather than just slippers may have helped too, but I feel the oil helps most. Just have to figure it out, I have peripheal neuropathy

I had knee joint pain and wanted to use natural remedies. The "Frankincense & Myrrh" did not have the strength to perform the task, but I found that "i-flex" distributed by DSM Nutritional Products in Parsippany, NJ. It can take up to two months to alleviate the pain, but it worked for me and many others. All the best to your mom.

I agree with Lourdes and Patricia - please consult with a doctor. This is for inflammation, not sure how it would work for you. Good luck!

Sweetjami, I presume your referring to Nature Made Multi For Her 50+. I purchased the tablets which I have no problem with, but it sounds as though you do,so the soft gels would be a better solution for you. Hope this helped you. It's a great vitamin.

OK, for me I had from waist down back pain, stiffness and terrible aching. My very lower spine felt as if it was fused. I started off abt waistline, then kept moving it down after the 20 mins.. Then I moved over my back pelvic bone (injuries from car accident) and worked that area. I kept this up for several hours. The areas I worked on after the 20 mins were pretty much pain free afterwards for a day or two. But I worked it hard to catch my nerve pathway, Google for illustration. In a month I have only had a couple of episodes of real step stopping pain. My lower back is now loose again and I have much more flexibility. It depends on your source of pain so you will have to judge that for yourself. I use this every day, especially after doing physical work. I no longer am kept awake from discomfort/pain. So for me it really stops the pain for days as long as I keep at it. I have a friend who has a different unit which has 4 pads and she runs her just about all the time. She is so happy to no longer to be on narcotics. She has super severe nerve damage from an illness. I just wish I had known about this unit years ago...would have had a better quality of life. I plan on buying another unit in the future with more pads. This Homedic unit is amazing and convenient device with no battery pack to carry around. Hope this helps.

I did check out Under Armour but there is some actual copper in the Tommy Copper products which current thoughts are helps with arthritis and plain ole muscle aches. My husband continued to complain of back issues that were basically deemed muscular so I figured it was cheaper and less hard on the body than constant NSAID's. The first one I purchased he really liked so I've purchased more. He doesn't complain about back pain as much. The compression in the Tommy Copper's seems to be a little more tightness to it. He loves them and has asked for some short sleeved ones for summer. Prices are good on Amazon pick one up if you don't like it don't buy anymore. But I am sold on them. Good luck!

Don't know Alleviate, but I got nothing out of this product. I now buy the Purity Products HA which I believe helps joint pain noticeably.

Difficult to respond when I don't know where the pain was. I have found that over-using it can cause pain, but not after just a few minutes. You may be leaning into it too strongly; try leaning into it only lightly until you get a sense of the pressure that is just right for you.

Pain that lasts more that a week or two should be checked by a Doctor first. I have chronic back pain which radiates to my left hip and knee. I find that this does give me some relief. Using the tens unit is very relaxing and that is always good for pain. Depending on what is causing your pain the unit may be helpful to you too. It is certainly worth a try. I love my unit and use it nightly before I go to bed since laying down causes more pain. It would be helpful to find out where your pain is coming from so that you can position your electrodes where they will do the most good. Hip pain could be coming from your back so it would be good to position them on the back. If the pain is really coming from the hip then the electrodes would be best placed on the hip. You could try both locations since you have outputs on the unit for 2 sites and run them at the same time. Bottom line I believe that it helps me. Everyone is different but when your in pain this is really worth a try.

I have arthritis in my neck and suffered incredible neck pain & severe headaches. I purchased the Tri-Core, Standard regular size pillow. It took about a week for my body to adjust to it and now I rarely wake up with the pain. Hope it works for you.

You really do need some one there---How frail is Mom?. I'm not joking. My husband and I went through numerous Maxi rub's. Not because they are bad---but it's the greatest and best gift I ever gave my construction worker husband. We used to do each others backs every night for 1/2 an hour each and it really did the greatest number on our backs. He's passed now and I really realize what a great deal of help that massager was doing for both of us. I miss him---and our 1/2 therapy with that maxi. It would be awkward if it was for your Mom to do on her own. If she had a lower back problem she might be able to "prop" it in a chair and lean against it. If she's elderly it might be a problem. I'm 64 and I bought myself a "Shiatsue" massager (sp). If your Mom has siatica (sp) that might be a problem too. Some women who have Calcium deficiancy in their bones might find this uncomfortable. There are cheap models under a 100.00 out there but they aren't much good---the one that's about 125.00 or so is great---My boss borrowed it and 4 friends---I had to threaten one of those to give it back. They are like a matte that you sit on with a back. The good ones have metal or hard plastic balls in the back part that go up and down---mine can go side to side along the spine---you can also use the remote to hit the button to make it stay in one spot. I love mine---If any of this is too much sometimes a plain old heating pad works Let me know if you need more help-I've had back problems my whole life with a handicap child
