Can I use icy hot on my shoulders and upper back??? 3rd trimester

@raquely Idk everything I read says not to use at all. Because of the menthol in it and it absorbs into your skin regardless of where you use it..

Well if everything you’re reading says not to then I would not use it.

@ek620 Yeah.... I came to that conclusion...

@babymay2016, Okay.... so why’d you post this...?

@ek620 Well, I was at the grocery store. Then nobody had answered me and I looked it up. I can delete it if that makes your day better. Idk why you have to comment such obvious shit.

I don't already have enough worry or pain today, I need sarcasm too. Lay it on me

@babymay2016, We’re on an app where quite a few women think it’s okay to take castor oil to induce labor despite knowing the risks and where women defend drinking alcohol and smoking weed while pregnant. It’s not unusual around here for someone to ignore common sense and info they’ve looked up. And then there was someone else on here advising you that it’s okay to use. I honestly wasn’t being snarky or rude with my first comment, but clearly it touched a nerve for you. Hope your day gets better.

I used it with my last pregnancies and it didn't cause any harm to me nor my child. I didn't use it until the 3rd trimester. I didn't use a lot, but it helped a lot with my aches and pains. I never told my doctor cause I never had any problems while using it..

Yes and a massager and heating pad. Sounds like muscle spasms

My OB told me no. She said the menthol in it can cause some issues.

My friend sent me this. Hopefully it helps

I did.

Also used heating pad.
