Go-to Salve While Recovering from a Back Injury
This is my go-to salve while recovering from a back injury (a bulging disc). It makes me feel better almost right away. The menthol is very soothing. Certainly, it doesn't alleviate the pain for hours, but it does give me some immediate relief for 30+ minutes while I decide whether to stretch, go for a walk, use my standing desk or take some other action. The smell doesn't bother me, especially since I associate it with relief. My husband, on the other hand, insists that I keep the jar in the bathroom (instead of on the bedroom dresser) due to the smell. For my condition, this cream isn't the complete answer to alleviating pain, but a nice complement to the other treatments I'm using.
