As my life advances, so does the STIFFNESS in my feet. I have used so many topicals over the years, probably the most in the last 5-6 yrs since hip replacement and that trauma to the body. I keep going back to Topricin and never run out...it is homeopathic and contains 11 homeopathic solutions and they tell us on the bottle what these 11 solutions address pain wise....homeopathy is special and I've used it off and on for years...was going to really get into it for my general health, but it really takes dedication and extra money. But this Topricin is something else....thought I mentioned it here but maybe not. I just rubbed my STIFF feet when I got out of bed...gives some nice relief for a while...everything is temporary, arthritis is permanent.
