An Anti-Inflammatory Cream?
If you have sciatica back pain, you know as well as I that the analgesic creams out there like Icy Hot and Bengay actually produce more pain! My doctor explained this to me as to why this happens: The rub will cause more blood flow to the region and result in more swelling, and thus more pressure on nerves. These type of creams are helpful for sore overworked muscles where some stimulation is needed, but are not the ticket for inflammation, at least not for me. Instead, an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen can quickly reduce inflammation (and pain). Personally, I have turned to using a decompression device to get my spine back in alignment and have virtually stopped all ibuprofen use for my back.
Recently, I ran across the product advertised below – an anti-inflammatory cream that supposedly reduces inflammation. Have any of you tried this product, or something equivalent to it? If so, please comment below (Click on No Comments to open the comment box). I am thinking of giving it a try as well. I still occasionally get some bad headaches associated with eye-strain and must take some heavy doses of ibuprofen – perhaps this cream could help for this without the bad stomach effects of ibuprofen pills?
