Connie!

Hi Connie!

I hope you are feeling better. I was reading on a web page... not gonna say where... but can email you the link... that Castor oil when applied topically - wrapped and heated an hour a day can provide incredible pain relief within a week supposedly. I know... old remedy but apparently, for some, has miraculous results on people with severe rhemutoid arthritis. So it may help with what you are going through. I just bought some from the vitamin shoppe and have applied it to my elbow. (tennis elbow) and it's helped it!!! There are more remedies such as olive oil mixed with peanut oil... applied/wrapped and heated as well. Then the mineral salt baths as well. I figured it may be worth a try. It's helped my elbow a bit so far...but then I haven't stuck to the every single day for an hour deal... wanted to let you know :) ((hugs!))

I would love to read about the old wives remedys they are awesome! could you send me the link? thank you!!!!!

Elizabeth!!!!!  Thanks for thinking of me.  I'm willing to try everything and anything.  I'm scheduled for surgery on my lower back in the Fall, but that's not going to help my neck or mid back.  I'm game to try the Castor Oil.  Especially on my upper back where it feels like someone plunged in an ice pick.  Can you send me the link?

Hugs back attcha!
