Pain, any kind of pain, is the worst possible thing, especially after a long day at work. If you have to use your arms very much or just keep them raised, and by that I mean not on the desk or table, then you must know the feeling of forearm muscle pain when the extensor and flexor muscles get inflamed and stiff. For something that looks like a guillotine, this device sure does you good.

Invented by a licensed massage therapist, the producer says it can relieve pain caused by the carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries in the forearm without medication. The carpal tunnel, or median neuropathy at the wrist, is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to paresthesiias, numbness and muscle-weakened hands. It is most commonly mistaken for activity-related arm pain.

The device replicates the Swedish arm massage technique to soothe the inflamed, stiff extensor and flexor muscles that cause forearm pain. Simply place your arm between the compression spring-loaded rollers, turn the dial to your preferred level of tension, and slide your arm back and forth through the cushioned rollers. The two ridges on the upper roller give you a penetrating massage to ease the nerve compression while the rubber nodules grip and stretch your muscles and tendons.

Besides the fact that it's offered by a company that sells just about anything you can or can't imagine, I really don't believe a $49.95 piece of plastic with rubber insertion and a couple of springs can heal anything. Or if it does, the only thing that it proves is the ease of curing that condition.

With a size of 9.5-inch high x 7.5-inch wide x 4.5-inch deep it won't occupy too much space on your desk. The good part if you want this is it's available for immediate shipment with a price tag that says $49.95. The bad part is it's 1Kg and that will weight quite a bit on the shipping price.
