Too Painful to Lift Her Own Baby
My sister was an avid soccer player when she was in school. A series of strains and mishaps while playing caused her back some discomfort over the years.
What really brought matters to a head, though, was when she was working in the kitchen of a local elementary school and slipped on a wet, freshly mopped floor that another employee had failed to mark as such. Her injuries were fairly severe.
Her muscle and disc problems persist to this day. Probably the most heart-breaking thing about her situation is that her fall happened right before her son turned one year old. All of the sudden, her back pain was regularly so bad she could not lift her own child. More than the pain, what upset her not being able to bend over and pick up her baby – a natural and loving gesture.
My nephew is 6 now, and less interested in being picked up by anyone. My sister still has back pain, albeit less severe after a series of procedures and therapies.
A couple of months ago I tried a sample of Freeze It. In fact, I blogged about it right here on Suncoast Scribe. I was very happy to find the product every bit as good as the Biofreeze I had used in the past. The difference is that Freeze It Gel is both more affordable and easier to buy. After trying the sample, I bought my sister a full sized tube and it’s helped reduce the number of days she feels the need to take an oral pain reliever. The less you have to put into your body, the better.

Samples rock. The best way to really know if a product is right for you is to try before you buy. It turns out that Freeze It was right for more than one member of my family, and all for different reason: my sister uses Freeze It for the sore muscles associated with her back problems, I use it for the neck pain I often get from sleeping wrong, and my mom uses it for her arthritis.
