i am alternating between that blue horse linament and the salon paas 8 hour pain gel right now. i put them both on my knees elbows biceps and lower back everyday before i train. just to keep everything healthy and warm.
you want to talk about some burn, jump in the hot shower and open the pores up really good, then slap on some of that new salon paa gel. oh sweet baby jesus that stuff absorbs in crazy fast and lights you on fire.

TweetMan I got some old lidocaine patches they are non-narcotic. If you ever needed some. They are out of date but still work I had to put one on my knees the other day.

i have some of that as well man and some icy hot and pretty much every other heating/cooling gel you can imagine. comes with the territory of a combo of that blast and getting old lol. i can almost say i would have rather aggervated my lower back than what i tweaked. at least with the lower back you can still work around it for the most part. until today i couldnt even pinch my shoulder blades together or arch my back. that's the crappy part. today i can do both but it is still a little tender. oh and i dont feel like i am about to piss down my leg when i cough or sneeze any more so that is even more added bene of the recovery

Well that's a good thing you're feeling a bit better guns, sounds like a terrible time for a few days.

Now I will have to invest in some of your good stuff and stop whining about my shoulder. Hate to hear about this but it's great to hear how to fix it. I don't think any of us really talk about this much so we all just suffer through. I put some DMSO on a couple nights ago and nearly burned my skin off my shoulder. That makes suffering look good in comparison.

we need to keep the dialog open on helping fix those nagging injuries as well as the bad ones. i am stubborn when it comes to getting hurt and taking time off to heal. this one i have no choice on because it is a bad one that i cant work around. i hate taking time off from training but you have to from time to time. with that said i am feeling like i should be good tomorrow or saturday at the latest. i am going to roll the area tonight and then start hitting it 2x a day starting tomorrow. so hopefully that will speed up the process even more so. their is another cream i am going to order after i run out of this one that is supposed to be good for healing and prevention as well. it is supposed to be stronger than the blue horse stuff so we will see haha

TweetYep I had to take a week off a few mths ago my back was so bad I even missed work sometimes u gotta suck it up stay home and heal so u can get back in the game at 110%

i absolutely hate freaking down time man. it makes me go stir crazy lol. this was a forced break that i had no way to work around at all. a good week off is a good thing i suppose but i am def not a fan of it at all.
i guess i am not a big practice what i preach in the taking time off to recover category haha. my body has to force me to do so from time to time

TweetI hear ya, I'm stuck in a one right now waiting for a dozer to pull us out, boring and wet. I wansnt driving though.

TweetMine not one
