Anyone know any reasonably priced shower gels that will help muscular pain?

    A nice hot bath will do the trick.

    You can get radox muslce soak, but tbh I dont know if that really works or if its the hot water.

    I dont know of any shower gels.

    I've never heard of a shower gel for muscle pain.

    The Radox stuff does work. But to be honest I'd probably try some Deep Heat or Ralgex and/or ibuprofen gel, depending on what muscle it is of course.

    Hot shower in itself?

    Don't know of any, sorry!

    I've had muscular pain in my chest for the past few weeks. Deep Heat irritates my skin when it's at it's worst I lie down with a hot water bottle on my chest.

    Ibuleve or one of those other ibuprofen type gels?

    If you've had them for a while though, you should probably get checked out.

    bath or pain relief gel should do the trick for ordinary muscular pain

    I doubt if such a thing would exist, cos anything powerful enough to work on muscles would cause a lot of pain on the more sensitive bits... and since shower gel is designed tobe used everywhere don't think it would work out.

    A tens machine I think would be more appropriate.

    I think personally that shower gels and whatnot a scams when it comes to muscle relaxants, radox lavender on the other hand makes me calm.
