You say you don't have OA but arthritis in fingers and toes...that's OA as I understand it unless you are challenged with RA. thanks..

I guess that is OA; it's probably the RA I was thinking of. I did have an MRI done last year of both hips which dose not show arthritis; but it is my fingers, along with wrist/feet/toes.
Personally, because of my neuropathy too, I would not tend to use anything like Vicks or any of those that go on hot/warm/gel; especially after or before using Rubbing Alcohol; which is more a cooling effect. Goes on cool and remains cooling effect.
I will sometimes use Mineral Ice I buy from Walgreens on my wrists/fingers, but not on my feet/ankles because of aggravating the Neuropathy in those areas which is already frequently burning.
