Are they also on the "no" list? I've found conflicting information that they do/do not get into your blood.

i have had a horrible shoulder problem(thank you covid) that gave me almost limited mobility for 2 months and now i have limited mobility. I have taken nsaids 2x with great relief(and terror of an ulcer). I need something just so i can sleep one night

Thanks! I kinda knew that but was hoping for different news. My surgeons office doesn't really answer my calls. I don't blame them, it's been a long time and i don't even do my annuals there

we have it (in the US). I"ve never tried it, but I know White Dove uses it and recommends it.

I use biofreeze as well. It definitely helps me more times than not. I have to apply it in the garage as my cat likes to lick it.

I consider Biofreeze to be a miracle drug. But don't buy it at Walmart. What they sell at Walmart is a weaker version. Biofreeze Professional is what I get from a health professional.

Another vote for biofreeze. I have shoulder problems too, and I should have bought biofreeze stocks I use it so much.
warning: do not take a shower right after you put the bio freeze on...it BURNS!!!
