Has anyone had experience of these machines used to help leg stimulation as advertised by Ian Botham? They seem awful expensive, but both my wife and I have walking propblems and today we have seen something similar advertised in the Sun today for £49.99! Anyne have any advice please?

I would have a quick word with your doctor as to whether one would be suitable for you.
What walking problems?
Question Author
Squad. ..In night bottoms of feet ache and so do the front of shins which look red in morning as does big toe (Its not gout} When walking calves start to hurt after short while. Wifes pain comes from bottom of back and into legs
You both have what is known as Intermittent Claudication and is a used by a partial blockage of a main artery to the leg which allows enough blood flow when you are resting but inadequate blood flow when walking and hence pain inthe legs.
That machine will be of no value.
Monitor the situation and when it starts to impinge on your life, then see your GP.
Got one,not worth the money,doesn't make any difference.
Sqad's diagnosis rings a bell. My mother had similar problems which were completely cured by angioplasty.

She had put up with the pain for years (her GP put it down to "getting old") until she got a new GP and he identified it immediately, sent her for an angiogram which confirmed his diagnosis. Angioplasty followed, and the pain just went away.
I take Wonderlegs pills and I use a Revitive circulation booster. I'm pleased with both.

Many years ago I had great difficulty walking but no real pain. It was Sqad rather than anyone I saw at my surgery or hospital who diagnosed IC and I'll always be grateful to him for that.
He also said that wearing shoes with raised heels would help. It did! Very much. Of course that could be because Sqad likes women in heels.. ;-)
"High heels and silk bra and pants please"

What do you think I am, a pervert?
Now you didn't tell me the silk bra and pants would help my condition, Sqad! I could have got better so much quicker had I know that. :-(
gness...well I sent you the whole lot by post..
Wait a minute I bet dave intercepted them
