Id a calf strain from running a couple of weeks ago, so use done on the muscle and around the ankle and heel. Couldnt bear to put my foot down for a couple of days after as Id badly bruised the heel bone.
On a slightly more positive note, I got the bike out toady and rode it to the bike shop for MOT, hopefully pick it up later with a pass. Hands till sore but its only a mile each way.
Yeah, i know what you mean about the massage gun, but i mainly got it for and used it on the palm of my hand to shake some life into moving frozen look of my fingers and not only did it work, but quite quickly to, although i did use it a lot in the evenings every day. But i also tried the end part of the ball shaped adaptor and it nearly rattled my fingers, although the same adaptor is much softer if you use it on the sides instead for any possible sensitive areas.
It's something you find out about after a few minutes of usage though, so it's certainly no big deal, and they're so cheap to buy they're worth every penny.
For quite a few months now i've been wearing gloves designed for people who suffer arthritis.
These specific ones i bought are about 4 times cheaper than on Ebay so thought i had nothing to lose and bought a couple of pairs to start off with, added to other stuff i ordered.
They have been so good i wear them every day now as soon as i can.
Not only do they remind me at work that i have an injured left hand, so that i don't just grab something and immediately drop it, but they are extremely comfortable, very lightweight but strong at the same time, and i learned by accident that when the weather's very warm if i soak the glove under a cold tap whilst wearing it and use a towel to take off the excess water it can keep the injured hand very cool for ages, especially if you're anywhere near a fan.
The girl who's been helping me at work had Carpal Tunnel op's on both wrists about 6 months ago, and as she's been complaining about a bit of uncomfortable pain i ordered her a pair of these gloves to try out as i'm certain they'll help ease the horrible feeling of pain.
Here's the funny part. On Friday these gloves turned up at work along with some for myself, and it was only when i got home that i realised i'd been wearing her ones all day that had felt great for the nerve pain in my hand, but bizarrely hers were Size Small, and mine were normally Size Large.
Both sizes fit fine, but i actually preferred the smaller size due to a bit more compression on my bad hand.
She doesn't know it yet, but i'm keeping them as they've been worn by me, so i've ordered her 2 more pairs to give her in brand new condition.
So anyone with nerve damage, Carpal Tunnel, Arthritis, or any form of hand problem should try these out as they are so comfortable yet a ridiculous price, you can't really go wrong.
Personally, to play it safe, i would go one size lower than you think you need, as they will stretch to the shape of your hand quite easily but very effectively to give you some comfort and pain relief throughout the day. What i did notice was that the small size had about 1cm shorter fingers than the large size, but as mentioned they both fitted okay for me anyway.
There are plenty of gloves similar to these, but i have tried and tested these for months now and they've been nothing but helpful to me, for the nerve damage pain in my lower fingers.
