My friend gave me a sample and i have tried everything, really... this was my last hope. I have rheumatoid arthritis mostly in my shoulders so I said, what the heck...it really kicked in and I put it on during the night so I could sleep. I slept thru the entire night and even when i woke up before I had my shower I [still had pain relief]. Now I put it on both shoulders and getting dressed was never so easy. Thank you for a drugfree painkiller. I hate taking medicine orally,and this came thru for me.. THANKYOU.
