Anyway, it didn't bother me at all. I used it knees to toes. Made all the difference in the world. When I have taken my baclofen and still hurt this is the way to go. You would think morphine and norco would take care of these sensations but they take care of other types of pain - not spastisity or nerve pain. Thank you for the tip. It's nice to use something that I can pick up something at the store that really works and I don't need to see a doc first.

I was concerned about using the Aspercreme Heat Pain Relieving Gel because of my inability to feel heat but my husband had a good idea -- just try it on one little spot and if it bothers me than its an easy wipe off. Well it didn't --------------------------- I take 80mg a day of Baclofen and still have problems although it REALLY helps me. 20mg 4x a day. Doc is going to keep me at that. So, I thought I would just get used to what it isn't taking care of. Went to CVS this evening and purchased the "Fast Acting Therapy Aspercreme Heat Pain Relieving Gel" Hopefully this is the right kind. (little nervous since I can't feel heat) But I am so excited to see if this works. I will use it tonight and let y'all know how it worked for me. Please, if anyone has tried it and has problems with topical pain or the inability to feel heat let me know if it makes a difference. THANK YOU!!!!
