Posted by rrr1 @rrr1, 1 day ago

looking for a wearable device for massage only not compression to see if it would help with the leg and feet numbness. find a lot that have compression but can not use them due to having had AFIB etc. I mainly have the numbness but now one foot having the sharp pain fron the ankle to bottom of heel , Walking is only with a rollator from the knees down no longer working very good,

Might be difficult to find something wearable that massages your legs without compressing them. If I'm not mistaken, I think the way they all massage your legs is by compressing and then releasing the leg. The small hand gun massagers actually use a small pad that goes in and out while you hold it against your leg which basically is compressing a smaller area of skin. I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and have a large corded pair of leg compression sleeves but they don't help with my numbness at all. They do help with circulation and my swelling from lymphedema though. I've thought about getting a cordless version just because the others are a pain when you have to plug them in and it limits where you can sit. Here's ones I was looking at on Amazon but while they say leg massager they also mention it is a leg compression massager in one of the bullets - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091Y7TKSX/.
