Both Arnica gel and Sombra rub work wonders. Blessings.
Thank you so much for the information. I have never gone for any treatments, but moist heat sounds very comforting. I just push through pain to get things done too. My kids are all adults now, and this helps too. For me, the housework is the hardest. I do miss out on most activities that would be enjoyable, so I guess I cut out anything except the work. Didn't really think about that until just now, but it is true. Think I need to make some changes.
