There are some days when I just want to crawl into bed and not get up. I had one of those last week. At one point in time it seemed that my whole body was in pain, right down to my toenails. Most of it could be chalked up to exhaustion, and I found that slowing down a bit was a big help.

Another thing that was a big help was Freeze It. It’s a pain relief gel for muscle, joint, and arthritis pain. I was fortunate enough to have recently received some samples of it, and it really came in handy for the pain in my legs and wrist.

I’m no stranger to arthritis pain- I’ve had arthritis in my wrist since I broke it at six years old. I have tried numerous things to alleviate the pain in it, the most effective being a liniment. It did a pretty good job, but smelled horrible and made my wrist burn terribly at times. That’s no fun, especially in the heat of summer. So I was eager to try Freeze It.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. And the cooling sensation was a welcome change. The gel has a bit of a smell to it, but it was gone within ten minutes of application. At $9.99 a tube, Freeze It is affordable as well.

If you have aches and pains, give Freeze It a try. It’s available at Wal-Mart and many drugstores.
