Face, you once mentioned your preference for using natural remedies. What do you use for aching joints besides ice? (Topical and enteral.)
Right now I use Celadrin Cream, which I got on iherb.com, but while I was working, I used Icy-Hot. The drawback with that is that the odor was LASTING! This cream loses it’s odor about the time it begins to work (within five minutes) so by the time I need more (about three hours) I don’t mind using it again.
White willow bark capsules are also good (aspirin is the man-made version of this) and they don’t upset your stomach. You can get them on iherb.com as well.
Let me know what you use and how it works. Not everyone gets the same benefits from the same medicines, but remember that these are herbal remedies, and do not work like man-made. It may take longer to see results, but the results are longer-lasting.
