Anti-inflammatory cream

[blunomore]

.... for a very painful lower back muscle. Ouch

Which brands are best? Voltaren seems not to work, which is surprising.

Heavy acrobatics with the boyfriend last night?

 

[Moederloos]

Voltarin (oops - u tried that)
or
Arnica Oil

Arnica oil is safe for pregnant women - which, after spraining the back, you may be.

I had a bad case of the flu and slept the entire Sunday. Probably lying in the wrong position.

Sorry to disappoint you, mercurial.

I found those funny bean bags you put in the microwave to work awesome.

When I first started Judo, my body gave me the middle finger all the time.

I took a myprodol (spelling?), Deep Heat, and the bean bag thing and BAM !!!! all better the next day...

How'd you hurt your back?

Edit: forget the q.

Lol. Just be careful not to be allergic to weird stuff. I heard of someone who took one of those anti-inflammatories and died. Person had an allergic reaction to it. Probably a good idea to see a GP first.

I was looking for the name of a particular brand but looks like most folks prefer natural remedies.

 

[iDenTiTy]

Seriously.

Deep Heat, and beans.

 

[dominic]

arnica/deep heat and the beanbag/hot water bottle work well
may also be your kidneys taking strain from flu so lots of water

i get some back issues from sport and use ibuprofen which rocks

 

[Moederloos]

Nothing internal.
The wife has regular hassles with back - Arnica Oil does work.
But, dont listen to me - I am just a hubby.

Osteoeze RUB works Excellent

check out their products they are safe and natural

I use them regularry and nothing work so good and effective in a short period of time.

 

[blunomore]

Seriously.

Deep Heat, and beans.

Thanks, will give the deep heat a try.

 

[Moederloos]

Thanks, will give the deep heat a try.

Just do not give the BF a hand afterwards.

 

[iDenTiTy]

Get the man to give a back rub !!!!!

Nothing better than that in this scenario...

Ibuprofen works like a charm. I get knocked out in probably 5min.

Beans are awesome. A good pillow and mattress is essential.

Since you pulled your muscles while lying down ( ), try walk slowly, until you find that you can play a game of squash...

am using Fastum Gel at the moment .... also have flu induced back pain. It's a non-steroidal one and it's working like a bomb ..... am taking Adco Diclofenac as well, so should be totally over it soon

 

[blunomore]

Man out of town.

Woman must find own remedy.

Woman posts to MBB to find suggestions for MEDICINAL remedies.


I used a product a year or two ago and I am trying to see if some kind poster won't mention the product to refresh my memory

 

[iDenTiTy]

Pool cleaner guy maybe...



Um, ointment or pill?

 

[blunomore]

Thanks for all the (helpful) responses

 

[iDenTiTy]

Oh geez !!!

There was this green and white tube, that I once used.

It was VERY good.

Dad also used it for when he had a back op.

The name will come to me...

Will let you know.

I tried some tablets on the advice of my brother. Although i was abit skeptical, they seem to really work. Used for my back and my knee so far.

I buy them from my chemist and you do not need a script.The name is Gen-Payne.
