On like the second day of this many-day storm-induced power outage (thankfully we have power now) I twanged my back by bending slightly and being old, and it's still causing me problems.

But! I've said this in replies to posts but I don't think I've said it on main before so posting it here for folks who can benefit from it: you know how Hitachi Magic Wand style vibrators are often sold with nod-and-wink "These are good for back massage" bullshit?

Well it ain't bullshit, I am Literally That Guy who genuinely bought a Magic Wand knockoff from LoveHoney for use on my back and shoulders and buddy lemme tell ya it works absolute wonders. If you've got the money then there are WAY worse things to spend it on, go for one with adjustable speed if you can

I've got one of those oscillating punch-you-50-times-a-second-like-E-Honda deals too, but the magic wand knockoff I can just stick behind my back and lie down on, and you can't do that with the oscillating pistols because they're directional in a way that the magic wands aren't.
