I did SOMETHING mysterious to my back a couple of weeks ago and have been pretty useless ever since, spending a lot of time in my chair with the heating pad, taking pain relievers, etc.
Yesterday I had a wonderful massage. My massage therapist always asks if I need more help in a certain area, and I told her about my back – that my muscle pain keeps moving, causing me spasms, pain, and general grief.
My doctor gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxant and that has helped, but I’m still a mess. I had to grit my teeth to get up on the massage table and lie down flat on my front.
Lynn concentrated on my back, using a spray stuff she massaged in. For the first time in a long time I was free of pain! I asked her what it was and where I could get some. She got it on a trip to Branson, Missouri, but she said the lady had a website, www.kellysworldfamous.com What she was massaging into my back is called, Kelly’s World Famous Eucalyptus Oil. It’s an all natural pain reliever. It doesn’t have an odor and rubs in, not getting on your clothes. To be honest, at this point I wouldn’t care if it looked and felt like tar and smelled bad. It took my pain away.
When I got home I went to the website and ordered two 4 oz bottles. I’m going to ask my sweet husband to spray it on me and rub it in as soon as it arrives.
I still have a super tender back today. It isn’t a miracle drug, but it DOES really ease the pain while your body works its way out of the pain cycle.
I’m hoping the combination of muscle relaxants, the spray, the heat pad, and really careful stretching will get me back to my normal state – my husband describes as, “mean as a snake!” :0)

Good that you found a way to get rid of your pain, Linda. My therapist does also use Eucalyptus Oil among many others and they help together with the massage.

My feet are still swollen after the time at ICU, 35 days is long time just to lay down and don’t move by walking at all. The last 3 weeks in the hospital, I practiced to learn to walk again and I still do have challenges this way, but the doctors at the hospital are very competent and have sent me to another hospital for more tests to help me.
The massage helps my feet to get less swollen.
