When I go to the grocery store or amusement parks is when i will use them. I usually will stop park and just stretch my legs and back for A little bit. @A MyFibroTeam Member I pray the stimulator helps you. I used it for a bit and it stopped helping me even though they would adjust. I finally got so frustrated. I asked them to take it out. @A MyFibroTeam Member I feel you on trying to determine the difference. I usually have to see if it’s my back surgery chronic pain or if it’s fibromyalgia. I also have OA in my knees so I know your pain. I hope you all can find some relief.

Hi IanScroggy..I was only looking on amazon at them earlier..I'm going (hopefully) out with my daughter in law next week..I've booked a hire mobility scooter for a few hours..I'm not expecting to be comfortable or on the coach seat..I did wonder are these type gel cushions worth a try? Thank you Ian..πŸ™‚ kind regards Carole.

Remember you have to do what is right for you. But I would ask at your young age have you had your back checked out by a Dr? For me this would be the place to start. I had my first low back surgery when I was 39 or 40. I have degenerative disc disease. Then I had my 2nd low back surgery 7 or 8 years ago. I still have pain and I'm waiting to be approved for an implanted spinal nerve stimulator. Which supposed to relieve the pain. I know people who has it and says it works. So I guess what I'm saying is don't give up yet. Try all your options and if you still need the mobile scooter then get one. I pray you can find some answers and relief.
