I almost didn't buy it — I'd already wasted money on a heat lamp that did nothing. But I'd had three years of injections and my surgeon had pencilled in a pre-op chat, so I gave this eight weeks first. Ten minutes in my armchair, three or four evenings a week, while I watched the news. The first fortnight, nothing. By week four the morning stiffness had eased and I was taking the stairs without gripping the rail. By week eight the pain had dropped from the thing that ran my day to background noise. I rang the clinic and cancelled. That was four months ago and I'm still using it. Easiest decision I've made.

Started on my knee, but my wife pinched it for her hands — the stiffness she gets when the weather turns wet. My father borrows it for his shoulder on weekends. One panel, the whole family, no appointments and no clinic runs. I wish I'd known about this years ago instead of the drawer full of plasters and balms that never lasted past breakfast.

For years my evening routine was the hot towel, then the heat pad, then something for the pain to get to sleep. I didn't expect much from a light panel. But somewhere in the second month I realised I'd stopped reaching for any of it. My husband noticed before I did — said I'd stopped wincing getting up off the sofa. It's not a miracle and I won't pretend it is. The ache just isn't the first thing I feel in the morning anymore.

I've bought enough useless gadgets to fill a cupboard, so I went in expecting to send it back. Nearly did, in week one, when nothing happened. Glad I didn't. By week five I genuinely had nothing left to complain about — and if you knew me, you'd know that's saying something. Easy to use, no fuss, sits on the side table. Ten minutes and I forget it's on.
