What Cream is Best to rub in ?

malc7747

Hi Every one,

I am looking for a good cream to rub into my neck and shoulders at bed time to try to let me sleep through the night.

It seems I now have an impingment in my shoulder as well as OA in my neck. Just had a MRI scan and waiting to go back to see what can be done but it looks like an OP is inevitable.

It would be better if I could just go to the chemist to buy the cream rather than visit my GP as they are always busy.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received, not sure if being a diabetic stops me using certain ones :?:

many thanks

Hi Malc,
I am diabetic and I have found the best cream for me is Transvasin which cost me £1.58 for regular sized tube. I find the heat certainly helps me.As i have arthritis in 10 joints............ Susan

deep heat is quite cheap

and boots do their own brand , which is cheaper still

transvasin is also cheap


its the effect of massage AND the heat of the cream that helps

ice is also a good pain reducer

Well, don't know if I'm allowed to say


My words exactly - strange thing it is in creams particularly for women

Malc - no sorry hun no other creams helped me at all.

Tried a cream I bought last night. I really shouldn't have expected miracles, BUT I did sleep through till 3am before I had pain in my shoulder but what was good is I didn't get up out of bed.
Going to try Transvasin if I can find out where its sold :?:

Take care everyone
