I just posted this on the vitamins/supps section but thought I'd add it here:


I use a lot of topicals as I deal with OA, Fibro and a mess from hip replacement...this mess left me with Femoral Nerve Damage. My right thigh is numb and pretty dead. That is where the femoral nerve runs. Don't know if the nerves will ever come "alive".

Anyway, I somehow found Topricin and it contains 11 homeopathic solutions and on the bottle it describes what each solution is directed to: type pain.

On the front of the bottle it reads: Safe for Diabetics and Patented for Neuropathy.

I don't know if it's ever been mentioned here, but I love it and have read tons of reviews on various sites. For best prices I buy mine from web vitamins online.

Anyway, always trying to help myself and others. C

It has good reviews on Amazon:

I always have problems with homeopathy.
Those dilutions are immense...and there are few if any molecules left when they reach 6X + dilutions.

Any effects felt are due to the ointment base IMO. Ointments, creams, and lotions, change the sensations of the air against the skin. This may be perceived as a "benefit". But I doubt there is any active ingredient in this product at those dilutions.

I've used homeopathics off and on for years and at one point after the FM dx in 1999, I had considered going totally homeopathic as we have many of those docs here in my area, but the cost of going to them, and going into depth was too tough for me to work with.

One part of my sleep combo is Calms Forte' which is homeopathic is part of the reason I get 8-10 hrs pretty good sleep nightly.

I muscle test and pendulum dowse and come up strong for Topricin, so for me it's a real helper. Many others think the same as lots of mostly positive reveiws..

Another friend suggested she likes Penetrex more so than Topricin and I've looked at it, but it's more pricey and I'm passing on that one for now anyway. I'm doing all I can to stay away from a surgeon's knife again.
