My brother said one of his physical therapists had recommended using a car buffer on his back for his pain.
It sounds odd, but it seems this Ryobi buffer is just the ticket for any big muscle pain. It’s heated and the oscillation gives a good massage.
Dave raved about it so much that I got one too.
Somehow he has a setup where he can jam it between some couch cushions and get relief, but I needed to have Gary cooperate. (“Buff me, baby.”)
Lessons learned: next time take off the denim shirt pre-buff. That little sheepskin thing at the bottom is blue now. (I thought the shirt might be shinier after, but it is not.)
It really did melt all the back and shoulder pain away, but sadly, replaced it with a massive headache. Don’t know if that’s going to happen every time.
