Has anyone had experience of one of these foot massagers to help swollen feet and nerve pain in the legs?:(
 
what foot massagers are you referring to? I have a little wooden round pole with ridges in it that you roll your foot forward and back on. Can you paste a picture to the article you are referring to

fi I do not have swollen feet or nerve pain so do not know if this is a special item
 
Its a machine run on batteries. It sends signals through your feet to lower legs. A bit like tens machines. Ive heard that they are OK for diabetics. Ian botham was advertising one from boots. They are a bit expensive so before I pay for one I would like to know if they are any good for my nerve pain.

Do read the leaflet that comes with the massager, it will likely say that the product hasn't to be used if you have diabetes......especially if you have neuropathy problems, if in doubt check with your gp before using.

I saw that advert on TV yesterday and the person says it''s suitable for diabetics, but not all of these machines will be. Always check the box/leaflet or ask a pharmacist.

Thank you for that. I will certainly research fully.
