I’m not really an athletic guy. I spend a lot more time typing on my laptop than anything. My main activities are yard work, golf, and a little swimming—except for the times when my son talks me into playing “hackey sack” with him! My worst pains are in my hands....I’ve used all the drug store pills, but never went the prescription route. Either way, I know that whatever kind of medicine I take, my liver has to process it and get the poisonous part out of my system, so it always has gone against the grain for me to take a pill that soaks into every part of my body when the pain was just in my hands! But man that pain did burn! So I was surprised—It was kind of spooky! As soon as I touched the lotion to the back of my right hand, the tendon that goes from the wrist to the big knuckle on the middle finger, the pain [was relieved]. I don’t understand it. I guess it’s the homeopathic part of the lotion. But it worked just like that!
