PainAway Helps With Sore Muscles and Aches

Pain is something I unfortunately have to deal with on a daily basis. Some of it is simply because I am getting older. Some is because I have very bad arthritis in my hands, shoulders, and back. How much pain often depends on the weather, the things I have to do around the house or running errands, and my overall activity level. So I am always on the lookout for help dealing with the pain other than taking a pill.

One thing I and my husband have been trying is Phytopia PainAway Synergy for Muscle Soreness & Pain Relief. This is an alternative to using pills to help deal with pain that I like.

The PainAway comes in a small amber colored bottle to protect the contents from UV light. It is an oil based product that you massage into your affected area to help relieve the pain. Over time, it is supposed to lessen the pain as you use more and more of it, helping to keep pain at bay completely.

Here's what is in it:
Menthol
Balsam Peru Oil
Eucalyptus
Radiata Leaf
Java Citronella
Sunflower
Jojoba
Rosemary
Evening Primrose
Lemon
Lavender Oil

So far I can say it has helped a little, but not a lot. I am thinking that this is the kind of product you could use on a pulled muscle or sore muscles from exercise or a fall. It helps things like arthritis a little, but not enough for what I would like. My husband has noticed on his sore shoulder that he pulled a muscle in, this has helped and he has been enjoying using it. Has it taken away his pain completely? No, but he appreciates any help he can get with it. Complete pain relief will come when the shoulder heals up. But this has been helping him deal with the healing process.

I would suggest if you like using alternative remedies, this would be one to keep in your arsenal.

Dealing With Workout Soreness

Sore muscles is something we all get to deal with, and as we get older or as we do more physical activity, it increases. It's tough to help relive the soreness and to get on with your day when things hurt every time you move.

I was able to try out a pretty nifty thing from Live Infinitely. It's a Muscle Roller Stick. Now this is something new to me, although I have seen them before. So it was interesting to try this out.

The roller stick is about 18" long and has a stainless steel inner core. Each end has an ergonomic grip that is quite comfortable to hold. There are 7 small, floating plastic cylinders that are around the stainless steel that move and roll as you use the stick. I like that they"float", because they adjust to the shape of you body, meaning more of them are touching and helping at the same time.

The whole stick is easy to use and it has been interesting to see how it has helped me do exercises better. When I use it before exercising, I have noticed I can do more and I am not nearly as sore as I used to be. I don't feel worn out or dragging when I am done. The roller stick is supposed to help increase flexibility, stretch your muscles, and increase blood flow, as well as help reduce soreness after a workout. I'm not too sure on all of those things, but decreasing the soreness I am. That has helped.

It comes with an eBook to help you learn how to use it properly and there is a lifetime access to a how-to video collection explaining how to massage your Triceps, IT Bands, Calves, Feet, Neck and any other muscle you can imagine. For someone like me, who had never used one of these before, they were very helpful!

I think this is a great idea. It helps keep you from being really sore after working out and that increases your desire to keep working out. So this is a very good product to have, very motivational.
