is it good for aches?

Aches can come from all kinds of different causes. I think hot water bottles are best, like heating pads, for helping tense muscles relax, and super for letting you be very comfortable sleeping in a cool room and still have warm feet!

It certainly is, I have a fractured vertebrae and use it every night, while its healing, it's also great for younger people for cramps and this one stays hot incredibly long. I think you will be pleased

Yes, it is good - I got it for my girlfriend, in particular to help her with period cramps. She likes it for that; of course it doesn't make the aches go away fully, but it does help.

yes - awesome to fill ( but not full and tight - i like it with some flexibility still) and use cotton flannel cover and castrol oil on my body with the flannel next to my skin and the hot water bottle on the flannel :) ahhhhh.

I have never used it for back pain; I put a few drops(2-4) in a foot bath, and soak my feet in warm water, while it vibrates. All the answers I have read sound good to me; In massaging it into your skin, a couple of drops in an oil, I prefer almond oil, myself, but I'm sure any other solution could be good as well. As one has suggested, trial and error is the only way one can tell if it fits one's specific need.

Yes, it definitely helps to relieve body aches. Can't beat the price either as same one costs you 3 times as much if you are getting it from the sporting goods store.

I would recommend it if it is a muscle tissue strain or related to that nature. It would be soothing for dog.

Hi Marie, I have used it on my legs and arms, great for aches and pains but it could irritate your face so I would pass

There is slight evidence that glucosamine/chondroitin can lessen pain and slow osteoarthritis of the joints, specifically knees and hips. Frankly, the statistics are not very convincing. I doubt that it would be helpful for back pain.

It is great for relieving arthritis pain and most other body pains for a good deal of time. I don't think it heals bruises. It does ease the pain caused by them.

My grandma uses it. She doesn't feel as much pain when she uses it, it's worth a try!

I use it for musculoskeletal pain and it works well. I would not use it on top of topical prescription drugs. When used alone the only problems would be skin allergy to one of the essential oils

I would say it helps some but also less pain and better all around health. Try 5htp and coq10 for improved energy.

I would have to say it totally depends on the exact location and cause of the pain. I've ordered several bottles of this but do not use it for pain. I can only recommend you do some research on oils yourself and perhaps consult with an expert but this might be better suited for pain than this is, it just depends. http://www.amazon.com/Synergy-Arthritis-Essential-Undiluted-Therapeutic/dp/B006OR99U0?tag=t601000000-20

It works for any joint or muscle type pain. However, we are not talking the strength of aspirin or stronger meds. In my case I can not take aspirin or anything but Tylenol type pain pills. The cream adds to that and eases aggravating aches and pains. Ir does take a a bit of time. I put it on and some 10 minutes later realize, " Oh, it doesn't bother me as much as it did." And I can then do some activities with my hands that would have been difficult earlier. One of the best advantages is that you can reapply several times a day, unlike pain pills where you have to wait 4 to 6 hours. Hope this helps you. It works for any joint or muscle type pain.

I believe it would be great for your arthritis. I got it because I was diagnosed with tendinitis & golfers elbow. I have very tiny wrists. It works for me great! I use it 5 times a day. Cold first then I heat it up in water as the instructions say to. I do however use a paper towel for both as it does get cold/hot but when it wears off, I remove the paper towel. I love this product and highly recommend it.

I hadn't thought of using it for my migraines. I use it for muscle pain from fibromyalgia. However, I notice someone else answered this question, and I will be trying this,
