Lumbar Pain Relief Creams and Gels

When you are at home and are in pain you have an option that will bring a smile to your face because it is so easy to use. It is as convenient as opening the refrigerator door and pulling out an egg for breakfast. The product is a cream. It works to stop the aches at the area that it is applied too. The great thing about this is that it happens so fast. Literally in just seconds the discomfort can go away. There are many different ingredients that do this but that is for another post. The formulations of these are vast and depending on which one you get can really make a difference in how fast it works and for how long.

When you have something such as a herniated disc then you might have local discomfort in the lumbar spine and then also somewhere down the leg. If it is at the L4 level it could be on the outside of the bottom part of the leg. You can take the cream and rub it over the lower back and then on the outer part of the leg. Apply it generously because that way it can really get into the skin and do its work. Typically you will want to do this about two to three times per day, but if you need it more you can use it. The smell of some of these creams can go ahead and put you into a relaxed state because they use aromatic oils. These oils have been shown to have quite a few health benefits. When you are in the process of getting treatment from your Doctor this is great to use until the pain is reduced because sometimes it can take a few weeks to get rid of it, especially if you have had it over the course of many years.
