Creams, like those advertised for sports injuries, may not have any role in first aid for the joint. But if they are used, it should be remembered that rubbing the skin over the joint can have the same harmful effects as applying heat. So, if a cream is used, it should be smoothed gently over the skin, not rubbed in, then allowed to soak in over time. |
