Just a note to all. Like everything else, BioFreeze will work for some

and not for others. Personally I find it to be like a very weak menthol rub -

did nothing for me. But then again the supposedly super stong Vietnamese pain

relieving oil my brother in law gave me didn't do a darn thing either (another

one of those " it's gonna burn " and I didn't feel a thing). Strange thing is

regular IcyHot gives a nice strong sensation so who knows.

You're right on it . Who knows? Just like any other medication,

whether it be prescription, over the counter, herbal, etc., some things work

great

for one, but not for the next person. I don't know if it was my

interpretation, or I didn't understand what you said, if so I

apologize.........................

BUT, I didn't want anyone to think that BioFreeze burns. I have NEVER heard

anyone say that.

I think that Vietnamese super strong stuff sounds VERY different & scary

almost, to me.

I also think that so many of us, have so much pain, that really nothing is

going to make it all go away. And, if someone is looking for a muscle relaxant

for horrible/terrible spasms, none of this is right for them either. It's

exactly what it says it is. A temporary, topical anesthetic. Some will think

it

must have fallen down from heaven, others will feel that " it helped some &

that's better than nothing " and some will say " it's not doing anything for me "

and there will be every other reaction in between.

Thanks & I hope you find something that is the right thing for you &

especially after reading this last issue of Loose Connections, with all that is

going

on, I would guess that we all are feeling at least somewhat more positive &

hopeful these days.

Luv,
