What is good about the massage gun?

Saved me from having to get massages. I use it for my neck from sitting at the computer all day. It's also been useful for super random things like punching cushions outside or some random thing. I've seen someone use it to help them sift flour easily.

I heard not to use them on your neck.

Usually it's actually trapezoideus pain that you feel in your neck, so you don't have to pound your neck, just the trap muscles.

Just another good way to help relieve chronic pain. Amazon holiday sales and market oversaturation are bringing them down to US $60-70 now. Gave the spouse one for Christmas, she used it on her shoulders (rotator cuff) and back and didn’t turn it off for at least 45 minutes.

I’d also recommend a TENS unit, can also be found for cheap ($20-40). Both can vastly improve pain management without relying as much on medications.
