I'm curious about this...When ever I overuse (say arms) whether its reaching in an awkward way like sideways or behind my back...my muscle, especially in my upper arms.. not only hurts, but it actually burns! Any one else?
I have to ask. Why? Have you tried a good brand? Did they burn or hurt? I find them soothing and very helpful. Maybe you should really give them a try. It makes me crazy sometimes when people don't really give something like oils or diet a real chance. By a real chance I mean using proper oils and foods for at least a month. Like supplements, they take a little time to work. The diet change also takes a little time.Not I.
I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.
But that is only my opinion, maybe they have helped others....
