Dencorub Regular Strength Heat Cream

This is the last cream I would buy or recommend for the relief of back pain due to it strong long-lasting smell, limited heat sensation (at least on my body) and mild analgesic power. You get what you pay for really makes sense with this cream. Cheap but not good. 

First thing, it stinks like hell, that alone will put off many people off, nothing you would want to use if you have to go to work or just outdoors. The heat sensation is practically non-existent for me. If I put my hands over the treated area I could say it was a bit warmer than the rest, just a bit. Perhaps I should have used a bigger quantity of gel? The painkilling effect is slow and mild. A hot-water bottle gives me more relief. 

 The six bucks I paid for the cream tube were a waste of money.

Difflam Gel Extra Strength

I have noticed that every person is different with regards how some medicines work (or not) on them. Difflam has proven to be a great discovery for me. I have used other reputed anti-inflammatory brands before coming to use g Difflam and Difflam works better for me regarding speed in getting rid of the pain and also in decreasing the inflammation that causes the pain. Moreover, Difflam tubes are usually bigger and cheaper than those of other brands. Application is not messy as this is a traslucid gel that spreads easily and get absorbed easily, as well. 

Disprin Direct Chewables

I cannot live without these. 

I am a fan of Aspirin. It is my favourite analgesic and anti-inflammatory for mid-range pains, and I have never had a bad stomach reaction or sensitivity to these ones

I started buying Disprin chewable for travelling purposes a few years ago, as they can be taken on their own, without the need of water or liquid, in situations in which you don't want to drink any water that is not bottled. 

I like their lemony-ish taste, not bitter. 

They have become one of my staple multi-purpose painkillers (period pain, back pain, headaches, pre-flight DTV prevention treatment etc.). 

 I have them in my first-aid kit and I always carry a couple of them in my wallet and/or bag, as they are covered in foil and are easily to fit anywhere. 

My only complaint is that they don't make them in bigger packs and that the concentration of Aspirin is lower than the usual Aspirin tablets.
