I have arthritis in one foot. If I put SNM on before I rid the foot doesn’t hurt after my ride. It does hurt if I don’t use SNM. But, unlike the traditional alcohol based astringent lineaments, it doesn’t feel like anything other than my sock is wet when I put it on.
Ive become a big fan of the stuff.
The spray helps cool down any inflamed joints, but that’s about it. The gelotion is very soothing - I used it on my back the other day and it helped calm my spasming muscles. The poultice is amazing. My ankle is really messed up, and on really bad days I’ll smear on some poultice, wrap with plastic wrap and a BoT wrap, and leave it for an hour or so. It definitely helps reduce the pain.
On a side note, I find that the horse version of Cetyl-M’s lotion works better than the Sore No More gelotion, especially on my feet and ankle. It’s minty, which seems to calm everything down. After a long day of being on my feet all day, I rub it on my tired heels before bed, and wake up with no pain.
That has actually been my general belief as well. I used the CetylM horse on a muscle spasm that I had for a few hours. Within 15 minutes of using CetylM, the spasm was gone. I wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence or not, but happy to hear someone else likes it too.
SNM works wonders on my achey crushed leg bones and lower back. Also Salon Pas is good also.
The pain-achey feeling just go away after 15-20 min.
