Now that is the perfect way to start my day! A nice, hot cup of coffee in my favorite cup and some Freeze It Pain Relief Gel rubbed on my sore shoulders! I know I’ve talked before here about having migraines, and often I wake up in the morning with my neck and shoulders hurting. And that pain almost always leads me into a day of icky head trauma. So nipping it in the bud is of paramount importance for me. And I have never found anything that does such a good job of it as Freeze It! I received some Freeze It samples the other day, and knew exactly what I would use them for! I was so excited to discover how well it works!

I usually use Icy Hot, but, I can only use it on my shoulders and be really careful not to get it on my neck because it burns my neck like crazy for some reason. I tentatively spread the Freeze It on, letting my fingers rub just slightly up on my neck and discovered that it doesn’t burn at all! So I went ahead and put it on my shoulders and my neck! That is probably a large part of why it worked so well. I mean, when you are only putting the cream on half of the pain, that is going to maybe work and maybe not work. But on those mornings when I wake up like that, the pain is definitely connected from my shoulders to my neck!

It was also much less greasy than Icy Hot, and easier to clean off of my hands once I was through applying it. They do, however, have a roll-on, which is another positive mark in their court! That would make application so easy! And I can buy two roll-ons for just about $15 – that is a good deal, considering how long they will surely last.

Another really awesome point about Freeze It, is that it didn’t get my shirts all gunky. When I use Icy Hot, it ruins my shirts! The stain from Icy Hot is still on some of my shirts even after washing them! Freeze It totally didn’t mess up my shirts!

That first morning that I used it I was so excited, because, I had forgotten that I had put it on, but, I also forgot that I had woken up with any pain that day!!! I gently stretched my neck back and forth in each direction, and I didn’t feel ANY pain! Any other method I’ve used to get rid of that pain (Icy Hot, ibuprofen, hot pad, etc.) usually leaves at least some residual pain. In fact, once I do wake up with that pain, I usually have it for at least a week and sometimes longer. But the pain was completely gone! I was totally floored!

I’m so glad that I got these samples, and I am definitely stocking up on some Freeze It! Chronic migraines are a real downer! You can ask my kids. “No honey, we can’t do that today, Mom has a headache…” If I just had a penny for all the times I had to tell my kids that, we’d all be set for life! So anything that can help me avoid those nasty headaches is a WINNER in my book!

Freeze It ROCKS!!!
