i baught the stuff a little while back for my wife to try and it was slightly effective for her. she has tried all of the different topicals sold in stores even the real expensive ones and none of those helped her at all, in fact some of them burned the hell out of her skin. the skeletal balm is the only one that didnt bother her and it actually helped some. her problem is a little more complex then your normal muscle/joint aches though.
just last weak my knees started to ache and the pain hadnt let up for 3 days then i remembered the skeketal balm and gave it a shot. i noticed its effects after the first use. the pain became less each time i used it up to this morning where there is no pain at all. this stuff is pretty damn good. plus it doesnt stink like hell im impressed.
