[Nawooz.Com.My]

I suffer from neck pains and stiff shoulders a LOT due to my poor posture. Yesterday whilst working, I had one of those Wadafak(tm) muscle pains around my left shoulder blade area. It would be alright if I didn’t move it. When I did move, it felt like someone was using a knuckle and driving it into that muscle area. Another way to describe the pain would be, someone pinching that muscle and not letting go.

Needless to say, it’s one of the most irritating pains I have once in a while. As I’m in the office, most of my medical supplies are at home. I do carry some odds and ends with me, hence the “walking pharmacy” terms among close friends, but nothing for muscle/joint pains. I would have killed for a tube of Mentholatum Deep Heat Rub at that point of time, but alas, there was none to be found. The company First Aid kit is sorely lacking in this department. I made a quick call to the Security Room downstairs and was told they had an analgesic spray. Oh Joy!!!! Turns out, it was some weird spray that didn’t provide any relief at all. I made my way back up to my cubicle, all the while walking like a robot and with a twisted face due to the dull pain.

In the end, a colleague named Prem (bless her soul) went down to the sundry shop and got me a bottle of Ammeltz Yoko Yoko. It was Godsent I tell ya!!! It has that nice minty burn when applied and I HEART it very much. For those, who’ve never heard of it. Here is how it looks like:

It’s much better than the Salonpas and Tiger Balm patch I tried. The Salonpas patch could do with better adhesives. It’s very irritating and painful when it keeps coming off along with a couple of body hair. Yeowch! The Tiger Balm patch was worse, I didn’t get any relief from it at ALL!!! It sort of just stuck there looking pretty I guess. If you are like me and fancy a little minty burn action, then stay away from these two products:

RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR~~~~ The pain is still killing me, but thankfully my wifey packed the Ammeltz Yoko Yoko bottle in my work bag. Love ya MLM!!! Muackz~
