This only works if the person keeps on massaging the legs. But this does hurt because I also have fibromyalgia.

This one works great but is a bit costly. I havent had one since my gal left for New York Im in Calif. Thats been many years and I havent found another one since. If anyone knows of a good masseuse in Sonora Calif let me know Id love to be one of their new clients! I have got to find someone that can work on me its heaven!
i like massages bc i am shown that touch can be healing and it also helps to bring up buried emotions and then i can cry.
