Old hips, Bad leg and Falling apart

[ArtW]

Um, ow?
I tried that capsasin muscle rub once
once
didn't even put it any place tender, just my knees
pain, lots of pain

Stuff sticks like Napalm, took a shower and seemed to spread it.

Next time.  Use Vasoline or Olive Oil.

Use a kleenex to remove as much icy hot as you can.  Soak a cotton ball in olive oil, and gently clean the affected area.  

Others swear by vasoline.

They gave it to me to use on my lower back, which as a single guy is a neat trick getting the stuff where it needs to go..And I don't think any of the neighbors would want me to ask them to apply it..So I decided to at least try it. first and last time.

Might not be your last words but the second part of your tag line sure seems right!

 

[TrainChaser]

When you apply that stuff, DON'T RUB IT IN! Just gently smooth it over the area. Clean if off as gently as you can with olive oil, and then wash it off with soap and COOL water. Rubbing it and running hot water makes it worse.

Well then Trainchaser I did it all wrong. I globbed it on and rubbed til it felt a bit warm. There will not be a next time, but it's good to know where I went wrong.

Ever hear too much of a good thing is not a good thing? Use only a tiny bit. You can always rub in more in a few minutes.
I have used this on my shoulder and it feels great. http://naturesgel.com/
The stuff ain't cheap, but you only need to use a little at a time. My 8 oz container has lasted me over 5 years. I don't use it everyday, but still a little goes a long way.

When I was in my 20's, I had an old friend who told me, "At my age, if it doesn't hurt, it probably doesn't work anymore".

 

[Gunny]

Thanks Danny, I'll try a small order, can't hurt to try it.

I must have watched too many "teenager" movies and/or had more twisted than normal acquaintances throughout my life; because I've seen/heard too many "prank" scenarios where Icy Hot, or similar products, were used for me to ever consider letting the stuff near delicate areas ...

Btw, if anyone here meets me on the road, and is really interested, ask me to tell you a couple of the more "interesting" personal lubrication stories from my last corporate job.

 

[Gunny]

It must have worked, hip area feels better today. I have no plans on trying it again. I tried to stay away from the delicate areas but it seemed to 'migrate'.

It's all good, I try and write about some of the humorous things (read stupid) that I do, it's a constant source of entertainment for my kids so I share. I am in no way complaining. I have bigger fish to fry and some discomfort is nada.

My ex's first husband had jock itch pretty bad
Some yahoo managed to talk him into trying absorbine jr on it
according to her it was awful / hilarious

 

[Gunny]

In my Fathers eyes the only medicines needed in life were, Vicks Vaporrub, Absorbine Jr and aspirin. I have had the pleasure of Absorbine Jr on a cut. To kill the germs in his words. My brother and I learned at an early age to not go to Dad if wounded.

hahaha I was doctoring my own wounds at like 8, I had a strong belief in alcohol, so it really didn't save me a lot of discomfort, but a be AJ was worse

 

[mudbunny]

Hahaha. In all the times in my life that I've gotten hurt, I can thank God that none of your parents or ex's ex's were around to help.
