According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 54 million adults in the U.S., or 23% of people, who have arthritis. Sometimes when my pain is at its worst, I feel like I am the only one that is suffering.
I am using a lot of arthritis aids. A lumbar cushion is a necessity and provides cushioning for my aching lower back. That was all I needed for a while, but it hurt to sit in my office chair, so I purchased a seat cushion. Now, it was time to purchase a footrest.
I didn’t realize how much a footrest takes the pressure off of your joints. Footrests align posture, reduce fatigue, and ease pain or discomfort in the feet, ankles, knees, and thighs.
When I first started using a footrest, I bought one of the cheap plastic ones that did nothing to relieve my pain and moved around too much.
Now that I have discovered the ComfiLife Footrest, I have a lot less back pain. My posture is more aligned, and because my feet are elevated, I can actually work a few hours and not feel like I have drained every drop of energy from my body.
Turn the ComfiLife Footrest upside down and it’s like your own personal rocking chair. If you have knee problems as I do, use the memory-foam footrest underneath your knees for support.
The cover is easy to unzip, and if you prefer less height, try using one piece instead of two. It is made with lightweight foam materials, so you can take it on trips, on a flight, or if you want to work on your computer while watching TV.
My husband Mark is always hot and I am always cold, so the temperature in the house is cool enough that I wear a jacket. However, I can put my bare feet on this footrest, and feel a warming sensation.
It doesn’t move around, but if I want to adjust it, it is easy to move with my feet. It’s hard to believe that something so simple can make such a big difference.
Remove the cover for easy cleaning. Just machine-wash on the delicate cycle. The velour fabric won’t fade or degrade after washes, meaning you can wash it as many times as you want without wear and tear.
I have been to many doctors for arthritis treatment, and there is no cure for it. It may be more painful at certain times, but you just have to manage it with medication, stretch as much as you can, and find arthritis aids that allow you to be as comfortable as possible.
I’m so glad I found this ComfiLife Footrest. I feel more productive, and when I finish my work, I still feel like I have enough energy to do some things that I enjoy.
