"Pain erasers"


These are hand-massage hard rubber balls (the purple one is softer) from Momentum98. I like them a lot. They call them "pain erasers". I'm not sure how they live up to that moniker since I don't actually have problems with my hands, but the massage feels good, and the spikes "hurt so good".

They are 5 centimeters (2 inches) across if you include the spikes. Fit nicely in a hand.

I've always loved those things. I just never got around to buying them. :)

I have RSI in both hands, especially my right one. They help loosen up the cramped muscles quite well.

Have you ever seen Power Balls? Also an excellent (and fun!) invention.

Dear Eolake,sometimes the pain can be reliefed with harsh means,in not such old times in my country Romania,there where errants gipsies with bears dancing on the back of the patients with dorsal pains while the gipsy was singing "dance,dance Old Martin and I'll give you bread and olives".Also I remember my father who even he was a doctor md. was recuring at some more empiric cures,asking me or one of my brothers to walk with all the weight along his back.
With endless admiration and gratitude,always yours Paul Alexandru Cazacliu artmanro@yahoo.com

I am interested in this. Is there any European source?

I am not aware of one. Try asking Phil Wilson: moment98[at]aol.com

Say hi from me.

"Hurt so good"? That's hardly the kind of nice things I'd say about a bunch of psychedelic computer viruses!

Bears dancing on painful backs? I have one word : ouch!
I'll stick to my cat, thank you very much. His trampling massages are very gentle.

Dang, I SHOULD have thought of the elementary [at] trick! Would've spared me the spam since I posted an e-mail address here, goldurn robots...
Now, I'm hounded by winning lotteries, and obscure Africans who all want to give me 10% of their idle millions. Who knew Africa was so wealthy? ):-P
I think I'll try these pain eraser computer viruses after all. Might give some results against this particular problem.

Um, I doubt that Mr. Wilson would move to Europe just for this. ;-)

No, but he ships them for a very reasonable price I'm sure.
