trying a cream
hi.
the other day my lovely daughter said.stop hobbling or i'll buy you a zimner frame to which my reply wasnt very polite . then ensued a conversation about when am i in for my other hip to be done.( first 1 was just over a year ago) dunno but going to be assessed soon
she then said that someone she used to work with had told her they used. uddermint on their arthritis
what as in COW??? ..yes as in cow
so after the even more not polite replies she said she was looking at the reviews..and guess what.? there were some. so off to amazon i goes. gets this bottle of stuff
it smells like extra strong mints!
so far been using it for 4 days.a little bit at night ,before bed too, it seems to take the edge off the rather painful hip and i can usually stand without the bleedin hell this is going to hurt bit.
stairs seem easier too can walk 1 leg at a time not the 1 then 2 on each step. shuffle.
as i mentioned only been using it for 4 days but so far happy with it.
just thought i'd pass along the information.

Wow! This one is a new one on me, but I use MSM gel too which helps I suspect the actual act of massaging it in is a huge part of the temporary relief it provides.
😮
Keep on going if it works @eileenb61

hi everyone
well the uddermint seems to be going ok.
i'm actually able to stand for alot longer now at work, lollipop lady.cook.and cleaner at a school,so on my feet alot of the time ,the hip aches but isnt as painful all the time,which it has been for about 4 months..so more manageable,as in less paracetamol or ibuprofen.and i'm not as grumpy(well i dont think i am) and actually feel more like doing stuff.
can actually sleep on the bad hip.which was impossible before.
as i said it seems to be working,so keeping on using it.
one thing i have noticed since using it, my skin is softer where its applied.
AND
im off to see another consultant after a phone call last week ,to see about having hip done .
there was nothing wrong with other consultant,just a shorter list for this one.
