Lindsey,  This is what I do. I take a very hot shower. I rub bio-freeze on all of the places I am hurting and sore. Bio-freeze is the only pain relieving gel that has helped me. Within a few minutes all of my pain and soreness is gone. I know it sounds phoney, but I swear it's true. You can't buy it over the counter, either you have to purchase it from where a person gets physical therapy, or the internet. I buy mine off the internet, it's cheaper and easier. It comes through the mail that way you don't have to go out if you're not up to it. It's a little expensive but then again, how much money have you spent on all the stuff that didn't help. I swear if you give it a try you will never be without it.  I pray that you feel better.    Darlene
