came down with plantar facitis and physio brought me out a trial sample of
pennsaid, well its been three weeks now and the foot is just about back to
normal. The therapist said it was a magical drug and as far as I'm
concerned it sure is.

Yes, it does do wonders.

Now if they only sold it in body-dunking sizes, I'd be all set :)

I assume you need a prescription to get it.

Didn't someone once post a recipe of sorts for making something very
similar to this?

I wonder why they haven't approved this yet for the U.S. Seems like
quite a few could benefit from this. I know Melinda really found it
very helpful to her.

well I don't know what to tell everyone about this drug........but when I
started using it I could hardly make it to the bathroom in the morning.
Being a golfer I was limping after the first hole.....now I'm doing 18 no
problem. I really can't explain it. If you have plantar facitic or
similar foot problems definitley give it a try.....actually I read its a
knee medication. But it works, believe me.

It is the nsaid voltarin in a base that contains dmso that enables it
to be absorbed through the skin. It works because the antiinflammatory
can be provided locally without first going through the system. It
works best for smaller areas. It is not specifically for knees, but
may be of less benefit if applied to a larger area like a hip,
for example.
