Since I always come to a gardening forum for medical advice, has anyone tried this?
Actually, it makes perfect sense to ask here, as NOTHING makes me so stiff and sore as gardening, to the point where I wonder how long I can keep it up. If something could REALLY take away the pain without destroying my liver, it could be just what I need! Thanks for any input!

That shows how much you know.

This "Dr. Frank", a chemist, would want to read the label before buying. Also looks pricey to me.

A nice hot shower and 2 buffered aspirins works for me.
The fact that it's homeopathic gives me pause, but a lot of people seem to swear by it. Just wondered if anyone who actually tried it would be willing to give a statement, or if anyone knows of any sort of study that may have been done on it.

Hadn't followed the url that far but homeopathic says it all. Homeopathy is junk science. I avoid everything labeled homeopathic. Best you can hope for is a placebo effect which in this case, is pretty expensive at ~$20/bottle.

Okay, I think I asked the wrong question. What I should have said was, "Does anyone know something that IS safe and effective and does what this stuff CLAIMS to do?" Right now I'm popping several Tylenol Arthritis a day (hence the remark about being concerned with my liver) and rubbing on Sportscreme, a pretty effective pain ointment with no unpleasant odor, but still, the more I do, the more it hurts. I am considering consulting a chiropractor and massage therapist, which compared to buying a bottle of stuff, even for $20.00, still seems pretty expensive. So am open to other suggestions, thanks.

An NSAID (Aspirin, Ibuprofen,etc.)would be better than Tylenol if you have inflammation I think. Also, you could try a capsaicin creme but it requires building up and then mainatining the dose.
Also, don't ignore the possibility that visiting an arthritis specialist might be a good idea.

What I finally ended up doing was consulting a couple of doctors who expressed extreme skepticism of the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine. My family physician prescribed an antispasmodic which seems to work fine. It doesn't conflict with the Tylenol, but I cut way back on the Tylenol so as not to overdo it and to test how effective the prescription medicine was. Now I can at least do things the thought of which gave me extreme pause before due to the pain. I am thinking of consulting a chiropractor about other issues.
