RE: question about icy hot

I don't use icy hot, but me and my son have both used a product we

received at the Arthritis Walk.

Its called 024 . You can get it at Rite Aid. Its kind of expensive, but

we have had really good results with it. It is " essential oil pain

neutralizer " , and it comes in little towelettes soaked in camphor oil.

It really helps. You can also google it and it has a website and will

show you what stores carry it.

Just thought I'd share my 2 cents.

Jill,

The Icy Hot doesn't do much good as says. You also have to be

careful with some of the creams also. As they can cause a Rash. At the San

Diego

2004 AJAO Conference they gave out something that REALLY was good and did

stop pain. Look in the AVON Catalog and you can find it. It is for Pain.

I myself will use Hubby as a Guinea pig lololol. The Icy Hot I rubbed on

him didn't work. He said it get's cold then HOT and was stinging. He also got

a red rash. Other creams were used on him to BUT this AVON product worked

GREAT. I still have some around here. It is under 10.00. I have other thing's I

use which is probably already in your Cabinet.

Jill,

We got an Avon product from the AF.It helped without the burn.

I don't recommend Icy Hot for a child.Mayby it's just me but all those

arthritis creams burn me so bad that I wind up miserable and in the shower

trying to

get it off.

Do you know the name of it?? I am open to any suggestions. We tried the

Icy Hot last night and she didn't mind it, but I am not sure about the rash.

We didn't think to check for that.

Thanks!

Hi Jill:

There is a warning on the Icy Hot pkgs about age. If I remember right it said

not use on kids under 12. I use the Therma Care heat wraps with Hannah. I

like them because they are made for specific areas of the body and come in

different sizes. Some are even adjustable in size and velcro on. They say they

last for 8 hours, but I've used the back one on myself and had heat for 10

hours....Just my 2 cents.

Okay, I did find this comment about something sold through Avon and

looked on their website. They have a roll-on product containing

Celadrin, which is described as a join lubricator. Has anyone tried

this?

Thanks in advance!

There was a wanring put out by the FDA about a product - I don't remember if it

was ICY HOT or another brand - I forwarded it to the group a few weeks ago - it

may have just been one particular lot, I don't remember because I don't buy any

ot that type of product.? I'll see if I can find it and send it again, if I

can.? Celadrin may be effective - but I personally would question it being a

" joint lubricator " - how can you lubricate a joint from the outside?

Yes, as an Avon lady, I have customers who have used this. My mom really

likes it, found it to work ok. It is offered as a roll on right

now, but if I remember right it was also in a cream. They offer it as a

temporary pain reliever. It is in their Wellness line. The roll - on

price I found most recently is $4.99. The description in the book is

" rolls directly across sore muscles, strains or sprains for temporary

pain relief " . On the bottle it says it is a topical analgesic lotion. My

mom uses it for the arthritis pain in her feet and elbows. Hope this

info helps, Michele ( 21, spondy)

Thanks Michele,

It makes more sense to me to hear it described as a topical analgesic, which I

know does provide relief to many people - I thought the other a?rather strange

description for an Avon product.
