Hey Rhea

My GP put me on that in the summer when i 'twisted' my ankle (you

know how great he was that twist ended up being a sprain +

tendonitis + ganglion cyst and is still causing problems!) I found

no relief from it at all. I was on it for a good month and applied

it religiously. It may be the fact that there was actually a soft

tissue problem (I mean something that was really wrong not just an

EDS issue) and if that comes out sounding like im talking down im

sorry (its like 3am and I have class in 6 hours but cant sleep).

Anyways.... I didnt find it helped but it also didnt give me any

side effects at all. I found that the Myoflex did more for me then

the pennsaid did. Hope it helps for you though

Have you ever tried Biofreeze?

It comes in either a gel or roll-on. I have never seen it in a

retail store. I have always gotten mine either thru a

chiropractor's office or through a massage/bodywork supply store.

I have been using it for years (got started on it several years ago

by a chiropractor when my back was doing one of its periodic " let's

make you walk funny " routines.) This is what most chiros, osteos,

PT's, OT's, LMP's/LMT's use. I have used it on my wrists, elbows,

shoulders, knees and low back.

Like the name implies, it is a " cold " treatment. It is by far

stronger and more effective than any over the counter topical cream

or gel I have ever tried. And I think I have tried them all at one

time or another. The only " side effect " I have ever had with it was

from failing to thoroughly wash my hands after applying it and then

inadvertantly rubbing my eye. You don't want to do that.
