Experiences with

Deep heat

Interestingly, whilst recently in Australia, I asked a Pharmacist if he had anything he could give me to ease the pain, he suggested mixing Deep Heat and Voltarol together and rubbing that into the hand, although it has not stopped the pain completely, it has reduced the area of pain to the region of

Deep heat relieves the pain in my shoulders and upper arms but only lasts about an hour or so. I take cocodamol 30mg but they don’t help. I am on blood thinners so can’t take ibuprofen. Do you have any advice?

I took two ibuprofen, rubbed some deep heat on my shoulder and went back to bed. Woke the next day with only a bruised feeling in my heart. Walked about the entire day feeling a bit odd with the bruised heart. Eventually dialled 111 and was told to go to A and E.

Salt pool, deep heat .

The only thing that helps is heat - Deep Heat or a hot water bottle. I'm stiff, and the pain can be sharp if I cough, or move too quickly. Sorry for three paragraphs before the question - could this be a PMR flare?

I have purchased some Deep Heat muscle rub thinking it would help my aches and pains, but on the leaflet enclosed it states that people taking anticoagulants should not use it owing to the ingredients interacting with this medication. I take Warfarin.

My legs are jumpy in the evening, I use loads of 'Deep Heat' on them every evening and they are interfering with my sleep as my calf's keep cramping when I am in bed. Even putting a Tens device on them does not help much.

He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within days he was in a state of collapse, couldn’t walk and lost a lot of weight.

But nothing a pain killer and deep heat can sort. I'm joining a park run group this Saturday so running with other people should be a big help I hope. Tho don't mind on my own as earbuds and music. Not had wee 👁️ eye op yet hope it's soon. Well hope your all doing well. Love to all..❤️❤️❤️x

Tonight my costo has stepped up a few levels in pain , paracetamol and codeine usually help but not tonight . What else can I do , I use a deep freeze gel but that’s not doing anything to help tonight 😢😢😢

Although I'm feeling stronger; calf pain has improved with Deep Heat (other muscle relieving medications are available!) and Strength and Flex exercises, I just can't get any quicker. I'm still 'running' at around 8 to 9 mins/km. My best parkrun time is 45mins.

Hi all. You might remember that I recently posted about voice issues. There was a great response which I’m thankful for. However,I think I’ve realised that there are definitely two things at work: one is the PD of course and your possible solutions were pertinent here. Second though is the DBS which

Hi, I just had DBS and am looking for a P/T that specializes in PD. I am in Northern New Jersey but it seems like all the qualified people are in NYC. TIA.

I'm scheduled for DBS surgery in June (and I'm excited I'm going to be able to get the newly approved adaptive device from Medtronic). But I have a question that my neurologists have not really been able to clarify for me, so I was hoping for some lived experience from any of you (the "hive mind").

I found a message that says I've been here more than 5 years: So I finished the book... kaypeeoh profile image kaypeeoh • 5 years ago • 5 Replies I didn't know what to expect, maybe a primer on running and PD. Lots of aphorisms similar to Just Do It and Git 'er Done. Learned that standing is

A recent study indicates that DBS may not only reduce symptoms but could also potentially slow the progression of the disease—good news for individuals with DBS and an important finding for future treatments. Rhonda L. McFleder et al., 2025. Deep brain stimulation halts Parkinson’s disease-related
