There is nothng worse than being in pain. Whether it is a muscle ache or just general aches and pains, it makes us miserable.
I was recently asked if I would like to review Pernaton Gel which is a specially formulated gel to aid connetive tissue and joint care.
Having a child with a chronic illness, also means she suffers with muscle pains, especially in her legs. A lot of things we have tried over the years have not helped. So wanted to try this on her to see if it gives her any relief from the daily pain she suffers.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to try this out on her yet, so can not comment if it is any good or has helped with her pain.
I can however, talk about my Mum. She slipped getting out of the shower, which worried us a bit as she cut her head and had a huge lump, but also bruised and hurt her shouders and lower back. She could hardly move.
I mentioned that I had a cream to try which is for pain, which I was going to try on C, did she want to give it a go. I rubbed it on her affected areas and she said it was cooling and a little tingly, but she was amazed at how well it helped ease the pain.
She has found that when she uses it the pain is far less than if she does not use it, which you can see for yourself as she moves around. So definitely a winner in the StressedMum household.
