Muscle rub - does it work?

[gratts]

I went for a cycle Friday morning, then a run in the evening. Saturday and today I've been feeling very tight in my calf and thigh.
I found some muscle rub and wacked it on - figured it couldn't do any harm!
My legs have now turned lovely and tingly and warm, which is a bit unique but quite nice!

Question though - does it actually work, and if so how?

It works in making your leg feel hot, and in making you smell like a pensioners' locker room. It's also good if you get someone special to rub it on for you. If you think it works, it does. I know what i think, so I really am not going to argue otherwise

Depends entirely on the type of heat rub, i couldnt get on with the Deep heat etc but i got some on prescription known as Phorpane Gel and it does the trick, doesnt smell either.

That's a 5% ibuprofen painkilling gel - not a heat rub as such.
