Best to use for temporary pain relief
My mom has been facing knee pain for years, I consulted the doctor, and he suggested a knee replacement. Due to financial condition and mental health, we postponed. The condition is the same she can walk and do everything for a while Later she hits with hard pain. Will a heating pad or massager or what else will help in temporary pain relief? Which one will be better or suggested to use for the knee, leg, shoulder, or Spine?
