Sarah Strong "cupping" marks on right shoulder

Your Ben-gay comment brought back memories. I remember using similar rub called a-balm back in height school. Still remember the smell.

That stuff was like Ben-Gay x10. I always thought it was radioactive.

When i was running cross country for Iona prep and then Clemson university we use something called Tiger Balm. Don't know if i ever saw an atomic balm. it was 50 years ago but i do believe it was tiger balm and im not being predudice just because i ran for the tigers ! lol.

DI runner! Sweet! You ever run marathons?

I was a frequent user in high school. One time when I used it on a pulled groin, I quickly swore not to do that again. I was reminded continuously for about two hours, it's not like capsaicin, which wears off in six minutes.

Also not recommended: inserting contact lenses after applying the balm—at least if you value your vision!

As for kinesio tape, I see some doubters here, but I became a convert after a physical therapist used it after I lost some mobility in my shoulder following breast cancer surgery. K-tape helped support proper posture while I was regaining a full range of motion.

I was going to mention Tiger Balm choochoo. Surprised to see it in Walgreens circular. Have it right here next to the recliner.
