Or am I just gonna be sore all over til I die? |
|
I pulled the FUCK out of my back on Friday, lifting/heaving a case of spiked eggnog, of all things, and today I picked up the Icy Hot TENS therapy do-hickey (there are tons of brands of TENS devices), and it does seem to work at alleviating the pain more than any NSAID or pepper type rub I've tried in the past. |

When I was working on a fishing boat in the bering sea and sore as fuck, I used this white flower linament (clear oil). Then I'd wet my hands and rub over the affected area that had been oiled up with a couple drops of oil.
It would bring on a dull, but effective heat and of course smelled calming and great. |

Several people purchase it at the farm store I work in and swear by it. I have not tried it myself. I use Biofreeze or a generic like Biofreeze with great results. If SO's back is acting up the Biofreeze is the only topical remedy that helps.
ETA: I read the ingredients on the 2 kinds of liniment we sell and DMSO was not an ingredient. ETA 2: If you want to try a bottle and can't get it in your area, send me an IM and I will send you a bottle Monday. |
