Tennis
& Golfer's Elbow Patient
"...Just a note to say thank you. I was suffering from tennis elbow and
golfers elbow in both arms following years of bad posture and abuse using a
computer for work. The arrival of RSI was a shock despite the fact that I
had swapped mouse hands from left to right almost a year earlier because of
discomfort in my right forearm.
It started with constant pain and tingling in my
forearms and elbows. Then
followed various intensive treatments which
included, physio (little progress) osteopathy,
homeopathy, acupuncture and cranial massage. I was
getting a little better after 2 months but my arms
seemed weaker (as I had stopped all sports and
housework, driving etc. in order to rest my arms),
and I still had almost constant pain.
I had hit the brick wall and despaired of full
recovery. I decided to order your cream recently. After 2 weeks of use my arms began to feel
stronger and this teamed with ongoing treatment and
deep massage seemed to have turned the corner for
me.
Although I still have the odd
twinge, I am well on the mend and am about to resume
cycling and even a little computer work at the
office. I feel as though I have my old life back.
I still use the cream 1 to 2 times a day and
continue an exercise regimen which I hope will see
me back to full recovery in the next few months.
Penetrex made the difference at a crucial stage when
I needed to move from holding the RSI at bay to
recovery. Many thanks once again..."

"...I just had to write and say Thank You for such a great product as
Penetrex. For years I didn't know why my elbows hurt
and ached like they did. I finally asked the doctor
and as usual was put on prednisone which is great
for the time you're taking it. But as predicted the
pain came back.
The doctor sent me to physical therapy and that is
where I was actually diagnosed with golfer's elbow
(the doctor had said it was bursitis even after
x-rays). While doing my exercises I wanted to find
out more info on golfer's elbow and ran across your
website. I ordered the Penetrex and much to my
surprise it worked.
Using this along with my physical therapy has
reduced the pain by 85%. I am now done with physical
therapy and I'm wearing some braces to rest my
elbows while I try to totally recoup (surgery is not
one of favorite things to do) and strengthen the
muscles & tendons.
I know the cause of my condition is a number of
things 1) I'm a candlemaker by trade 2)
I use computers a lot 3) muscles not in shape
(just because you're not fat doesn't mean you're in
shape.) 4) I'm an avid gardener. All these
activities put too much strain on muscles and
tendons.
I now use Penetrex and do some tissue massage then I
do 20 minutes in the morning of all over body
stretching. I also stretch the elbows before I work
and try to limit the activity to 20 min. and I'll
stop to stretch. I couldn't have done it without
your product. The thought of me not being able to
make my candles or do gardening had me in tears one
night.
It has also worked on a hip problem I've had from
lack of motion. Thanks to you (and my proper
diagnosis from the physical therapist) I can ride on
my husband's motorcycle. We may actually go buy a
new GoldWing so we can go interstate on the bike.
Thanks again. My physical therapist was going to
order your product from my recommendation. There
will always be a jar of Penetrex in my cabinet
simply because it works..."

Golfer's Elbow Patient
"...I had
suffered with what I later came to learn was golfers elbow, (pain in the
inside area of my elbow). I suffered with this pain for many months,
(probably from over exercising with weights that were too heavy).
I
visited an orthopedist who did not have much helpful advice for me. I
stopped all exercise for months with no relief from the pain. Then as I was
researching golfers elbow on the internet, I accidentally came across your
website, read all the nice comments from people who had used your product,
and since you had a money back guarantee, decided to try it.
My
husband and friends laughed at my gullibility but I'm the one who's laughing
now. Within two-three weeks my pain was miraculously gone. I began
exercising again, increasing the weights slowly. I have had no pain since
that time. I have used the cream on other areas and have had equal success.
I just want to thank you for a very fine product and wish you much success
with it..."
