How to treat pain without steroids?
Hi, hopefully I'm not posting this twice. Just started doing research and wonder if anyone has found ways to deal with skin and muscle pain? Has anyone found a bath in aloe (or an essential oil, or anything else) helpful? Am researching for a friend.
Thank you :)

Hi,
For general comfort, try Aveeno Colliodal Oatmeal Bath or Balentar. those are both available otc.
After the bath, application of a product like MG 217, a coal tar product with sal acid, will help if the patient is not allergic to the tar.
For muscle pain, deep moist heat is the best in my experience.

Answers:
:) I agree with PJ Leary....Aveeno is a good one for skin and I also agree with heat for the muscle aches...I usually take a long hot shower when it gets too bad or try a heating pad....Hope it helps you...
