For Pain "I live in Florida. This gel worked very nicely for my tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and lower back pain. However, I just had an 'ah ha' moment as to the mysterious, very itchy rash I have developed. The application areas reacted in the intense heat. Last summer, while gardening, I developed a severe lower back rash, which I assumed was somehow sweat-related. This year, I developed the same painful, itchy rash on my right upper back (deltoid area and shoulder) down to my lower arm. Again, I thought it was from the heat and sweat. As I was applying it yesterday, I realized it was being applied directly on top of my rash. The only places I have my rash. It took me long enough!! However, I did not get this rash in the cooler temps."

For Pain "I used the gel once, as prescribed, and broke out in a rash all over my body. The rash is called erythema multiforme. I was covered in bright red, raised welts and hives for close to two weeks. The experience was itchy, uncomfortable, and overall unpleasant. My Dr. said to stop using the gel, but the most frustrating part was there was nothing anyone can do. It simply needed to 'run its course!' Use at your own risk!"
