New pain cream & numb leg

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

I have used a white cream before that worked pretty good on my

muscles, it's in a green & white tube and it just says " Sportscream "

on the box, I used to buy it at Walmart or K-mart, and used to be only

$5 or $6 a tube, and had no menthol either. One other one that worked

even better was a thing called " Nature's Partner " , it did not have any

menthol in it and virtually had no smell, and used to work great....I

haven't ordered it in quite some time, but I found it in one of those,

" as seen on tv " stores...it's about $50 for 2 containers, I

think...just haven't had the extra money....the #1-, if

they're still in business....I always have trouble with the mentol

burning my skin..

Also, I have severe disc degeneration in L4 & L5 in the discs in my

back, along with sciatica and a pinched nerve due to the discs. I have

the same thing as Darlene. In the side of my leg sometimes R and

sometimesL, my leg goes numb and it burns terribly, and sometimes it

feels like someone is taking a knife and jabbing it into my leg! It

usually takes a while for it to go away, and the only thing that seems

to help is to rub it, if you can stand it, and to change the position

of the leg. Thank goodness it doesn't happen everyday...Hope this

helps Darlene or anyone else.....

Wishing you All Gentle Hugs and Painless Days,

Take Care,

Pam

Pam,

I am sorry that the menthol sometimes burns you - I cannot tell you

how good I feel this morning and all because DH rubbed that cream

into my back and shoulder area! The leg was fine the next day but I

swear, there are days when I think I could carve a hole in it and it

would not hurt! They have done MRIs on my lower back and never seen

anything - could the problem be coming from somewhere else? I have

told my DH I think I need a total body MRI and CT scan to find

everything and have it all " out there " ....lol....

My reflexologist will be here in 2 hours....I cannot wait!
