Liniment


I have been full of cancer for over a year now but have been suffering no pain from it. That happy state came to an end on August 5 this year when a stabbing pain in my chest emerged. Since then, pains in my hip, knee and shoulder have emerged. I am falling apart in my old age.

I can as a result no longer walk unaided. I use crutches and thus avoid the pain associated with walking. That makes me a complete invalid as Jenny and Joe are needed to help me do many things. Joe has moved back into the apartment adjoining mine to give quick help with falls etc. I had radiotherapy to help with the pain and I take various medications but the shoulder pain in particular is persistent and bothers me a lot. Anti-inflammatories and analgesics don't help much.

I was therefore much surprised when Jenny rubbed a liniment into my sore shoulder and it worked. I became pain free for the rest of the day

Liniment is of course an old idea and there many fomulations of it. The one Jenny uses is called "Pain Away" and contains a blizzard of plant oils etc. No prescription needed.
