Hubby just went to a Walgreen's near us. He said there were at least 10 bottles on the shelf...they were on the very bottom
however, next to denture cleaners. That suggests to me a close out potential?

I had him get 3 bottles.

I never did think Walmart gave the lotion very good visibility. It also was down on the bottom shelf next to the epson salt bags, but there was always a shelf label indicating to the stockers (I guess) where it should be placed. The higher priced items get eye-level priority placement!

One of the reviewers on Morton Epsom had similar complaints, as well as the feel of an oily consistency upon and after application. I have no way of knowing whether this is relevant to your experience, but the reply emphasized that the lotion is of a very thin consistency and will usually tend to "separate" in a relatively short period of non active usage--even 5 to 10 minutes, and stressed that it be THOROUGHLY shaken prior to each and every use. Fortunately, I stumbled upon this exchange before purchasing my first bottle, took it seriously, and have never experienced any of the issues you've described. Who knows?

So far, knock on wood, have had no problem continuing to find it stocked at Walgreens, however I believe it not a bad idea to follow the suggestion of snapping up at least 3 "insurance" bottles.

Good luck.

Glad it works for so many, I'm open to try almost everything and it just didn't do much for me pain wise and also the drying and I noticed that firstly on my feet, they were drying too much. I mix so many concoctions and add this and that to my mixes. Crushed aspirin etc. I deal with bodywide OA from feet to shoulders and neck too. I have read reviews on amazon and over 8000 reported on Penterex but I haven't tried it YET. I'm headed for Prolozone injections, getting closer to that treatment. Not holding my breath for the UCII collagen but would be great if it helped my knee.

I tried Penetrex and Epsom lotion, but my focus was for muscle pains & restless leg (RLS).
Not nerve or bone based pain.

Penetrex - I can't really say if it did much right away, maybe a more cumulative thing..

Epsom lotion was great help for the RLS & misc aches & pains in my muscles - and worked fast for me every time..

I've never had any problems with Morton's Epsom Lotion. It is one of my top 3 things in my tool chest. I am most grateful to MrsD for turning me on to it. It has saved me on many a night.

I am happy to report that today when I stopped at Walgreens, I was able to restock on the Epsom Lotion! The company must like the lotion displayed with the bags of the salts as that's where I found it, and on the bottom shelf again. I left 7 bottles for the next person so it wouldn't appear that Walgreens is pulling it off their shelves!

I add some of the ingredients that are in Penetrex to my mix that I make up. Like a couple boswellia tablets, tea tree oil drops and see there is a huge amount of ingredients in Penetrex...maybe I'll try it yet. I see Walgreens sells it too.

Last noght I had horrible calf spasms. Just moving my lower leg started a chain reaction. I was generous with the lotion and while I still had rumblings and the ever present wake ups, I was able to get some sleep.

I guess it like anything in life, good for some, not for others. I do have residue on occassion. For relief from symptoms I would walk around with worse than some salt residue on my skin, though.
