I have type two diabetes and my feet and calves love to flare up at night to really bother me.

She has an older version of this model from this brand:

Homedics 3-in-1 Pro Foot Massager with Heat

I really like it. My feet just get painful, twitchy, and uncomfortable. I tried using the knurly tube-thing on the floor you can roll your foot on, and it didn't work. I end up just kind of gently stomping my foot up and down on some hard thing, which makes the unpleasant sensations kind of disappear while I am doing it, but it isn't great.

This thing my wife bought really feels good to me. I turn the heat, air massage, and shiatsu massage all up the highest settings. When done, I wipe off all the udder balm, then do a hot foot bath until they wrinkle...:)

I forgot to mention-I put the udder balm on, plastic bags on over my feet, and the thin over-the-calf dress socks on over all that. (I try to use the thinnest socks I can so the massager really works on my feet)

Heh, I do this once every month or two, and just sit down and watch a movie...I run through three successive beginning-to-end cycles on the massager, which really works the udder balm into my feet.

Gotta tell you-it makes them feel great! I might just do it tonight...:)

I looked at that last night and was predetermined to think about the ones that go up the calves, but your description is very helpful . . . thanx.

I especially like the raisin feet after a hot bath

Heh, I credit my wife with that. It has made a difference, because my feet would get cracked and actually bleed...ugh!

But following her instructions...my feet are halfway decent now...:)
