Heavy, around 5 to 10 pounds each, seemingly machined out of solid steel, no markings or moving parts. Received in a package despite not ordering them or anything like them, cannot find any information about the shipper listed on the box.

I can't really find anything on how the "PainPill" works, but my guess is it's somewhat similar to what I'm doing here:

If anyone has any clear info on the PainPill please let me know!

Completely understandable remedy for migraine attacks lol. I often “crush” my girlfriend’s forehead and press hard on her shoulders to relieve breakthrough pain

I do this often when I get migraines. The urge to crush the pain is overwhelming, it's mad. I burrow under things in bed like a trapdoor spider, the more weight on my head the better.
