Amazing instant relief for my bicep muscle, from "old man" cream. I have had an annoying sore bicep muscle for the past four weeks. This was NOT a side effect of excessive exercise, as I don't really do that. It was aggravated by putting my arm through a shirt sleeve or similar physical actions. Some of my online reading today suggest it may be a side effect of the Crestor statin medication that I have been taking for five years.
Anyway, my dad had some of this Voltaren medicated cream in his medicine cabinet, so I decided to rub a little on this morning. For me it was quite mind blowing that a topical cream could have such an instant and long lasting effect. The claim is 12 hours for the heavy duty stuff.
It is also almost odorless, which is good, because my wife doesn't like the strong smelling muscle relaxant that she has seen some use.
I'm sold.
