Post ideas, phys. therapy vids, etc.

Horse linament.

Absorbine Jr Horse linament vet, used for horses legs for muscle aches and arthritis.

I use this on any tendonitis with exceptional results. Works better then any topical solution, even blows away DMSO for relief.

I pop 4-6oomgs of ibuprofen 1 hour before my workout and massage this gel in. Its not oily and it takes a dime sized amount to get relief. It doesnt have the menthol effect of hot and cold..nothing better that I have ever used. It's what the guys in Worlds Strongest man and in Strongman in general use.

Can't say enough for it. Massage it in and it also helps healing of injuries as well.

What Wesley said. I got a couple of big bottles - one gel, the other liquid - when i was doing the hardcore AR/pilates a few months ago. Get the gel. And make sure its the HORSE liniment, not the weak-ass human version.

Both my grandfather and uncle work with horses and they both use it.
I remember as a little kid always seeing the tin of that stuff around there house. Glad you made this thread because I forgot all about that stuff.

It didn't even dawn on me to go to a feed store... I would've liked some relief a few days ago.

Forgot to mention that when used on animals I remember my gramps and uncle would apply it to the joints/muscles and then wrap it in cling wrap and ace bandage. Think it keeps the heat in and might enhance its effects.
I'll be picking some up this week and damn I wish I would of though/remembered out about this when my shoulders and knees started giving my problems.

I got a bottle of the gel today, applied generously to my legs and my right pec, delts and bicep. This stuff is great and my sinuses have never been clearer. Its like a cross between icy hot and tiger balm.

Thanks again wes.

I broke down and went to Walmart to get some pain relieving creme... I found absorbine Jr, so I picked it up and trued it when I got home... wow, that stuff is a bit "spicy"... it makes my eyes water! One feature I like is the fast absorption and no greasy residue. While it gave a "cool mint" feel to the area, It didn't seem to lessen my pain any, which is disappointing. I'll try it again, though, and double check the results.

While I was at the store, I also picked up a couple other pain relief ointments and figured that I would try them out and review them here.

One contains turpentine oil as the main ingredient.

Another contains trolamine salicylate ( same as Aspercreme).

The last one has menthol and methyl salicylate.

Reviews coming shortly.

The best OTC human relief I found was Cryogel. Stuff is pretty good.

OK... I haven't tried the one with menthol and methyl salicylate, so I can't comment there.

The absorbine, as described before, gives a fast absorbing cooling sensation. I love the fast absorption, and the cooling effect lasts a long time. My experience however has not been one of noticeable pain relief.

The trolamine salicylate seems provide very minor relief. It neither cools nor warms. The creme doesn't absorb 100%, leaving a oily residue. No odor, either good or bad.

Turpentine oil reminds me of pine oil or tea tree oil. It has a piney scent, but its not overwhelming. The oil soaks in pretty well and leaves a minor oily residue. There is neither a cooling nor a.warming effect. Though not dramatic, this product did seems to alleviate some of the inflammation.

FYI, Walmart sold the Absorbine for under $5 for 4 ounces. I've probably only used an ounce so far.

Yeah I saw that while searching for prices.
My buddy works at a feed store so I'm hoping to hooked up. Lol
I also need to call my uncle and ask him what that balm I remember as a kid is called, but I'm not sure if it'll fully absorb like the ansorbine does because it was more of a Vaseline type deal.

Bag Balm, probably. Good for scrapes and cuts, but not for strains and pain.

Could be but I remember them useing something for aches and pains.
It might end up being 2 different things since its been about 20yrs ago.

Picked some Absorbine today will start using tomorrow when I'm home.
Local feed store had 12oz for 12.5X out the door. My buddy at the feed store said he's used it and knows of several others that use and see/feel a difference with Absorbine. He also said that DMSO stuff burns pretty good but I didn't pick any up. Might go back and get it and even try a mixture of the 2.

OK... my absorbine VET liniment came in yesterday... same % of menthol, but different delivery system (alcohol instead of acetone) and ancillary oils (spearmint vs wormwood)

Its effect is similar, but slightly different. I felt extra "cooling" on this over the other formula. I'm guessing that's the spearmint oil. Both seem to last for hours. Pain reduction? I am not sure the cooling effect reduces pain and inflammation. It does distract from it, though.

I also tried it out last night to, and the cooling effect is strong almost so cool its HOT.
I'll be applying it pre workout to see if it makes any difference while lifting.

Ok tried it out pre workout earlier today and it seems like it kept my shoulder warmer/ free during my workout.
I warmed up with battle ropes and battle jump rope then I was able to get threw pull ups, chins, deads, squats and DB presses without much pain at all. Now don't get me wrong I still felt some pain but I also think I had more rom without pain.
I'm about to reapply it to my shoulders and going to try it on my lower back too.
I'll keep useing it and report back after I've tried it out more.

Tanks for the info Wes. I just bought and hope it will help me for my tendinitis

Just following up on this.... I've used all the concoctions I mentioned above and when my tendinitis is flared up, nothing seems to help except for not using my arm.

I will say though, that when it is feeling only minorly irritated that the menthol-based absorbine and its tingly feel seems make me forget about the pain.

In the most painful times, I have found DMSO used every other day to avoid skin irritation was better at, but not entirely effective at pain relief.

I just received it today and tested it before workout. It's really great and quickly efficient.

But.....this is normally for horses! !!!
