Too dangerous? Painful? Feels good?
the claim of 'breaks up scar tissue' sounds good but how do you know if its too early to use it/would just pulverize the wounds?
Ex: internal gnail femur

I believed the gun helped me ease the several-week long femur pain (due to new growth bone rubbing the tissues, only triggered when rotating the femurs to certain degree), and that I was able to dodge percocet and gabapentin.
Thanks!
1. During internal femur LL what were the best and safest spots to aim the percussive massage gun?
2. What about during internal tibia LL?

2. Same setting I gently massaged only the calf muscle side.
In general don't press the gun against your muscles. Keep it far & slowly get closer. You'll find the sweet spot where your muscles feel a massage but not painful. The doctor's assistant's suggestion is that "if you feel pain, stop".
a. ty!! "vertically on femurs?" ? If I am sitting on a chair, where do I aim the gun?
2. "Only the calf muscle side" -> so only aim the gun at the meaty part of the calves muscles for lower legs?
