"In 2006 I had an acute injury to the nerves in my left leg as a result of spinal stenosis at L5-S1. After several months of pain, the only lasting problems have been 3 numb toes and a very troublesome touchiness to my hamstring and lateral tibial muscles which results in painful cramping at night. I tried all the usual recommendations – calcium and Vitamin D supplements – and exercise but the exercise just made it worse. The opportunity to try out the Treadwell came. and by trial and error, I seem to have found that if I use it for a period of about 20 minutes before I go to bed, I do not wake up with leg cramps. I keep it under my computer desk and have gotten in the habit of using it off and on during the day. If I am gone for several days to visit my grandchildren, etc., I can be guaranteed of being up with leg cramps within a few days. To me this is overwhelming evidence that the use of the Treadwell is preventing my night leg cramps." - Susan, Wilmington, NC
