Tesco heat rub I have been preoccupied the last few months decorating and having a thorough clear out and I have gradually developed a dull ache in my right shoulder. Due, I believe from the fact I am only five foot two, and have had to stretch up with the paint roller to reach. However that aside, I have been finding it uncomfortable to sleep as I tend to sleep on my right side too. So I popped down to Tesco for something to give me some light relief. I initially headed down there with the intention of purchasing Ralgex cream as I have experience using this and my family have sworn by it. So I headed to the pharmacy department and found a huge ...  Read the complete review

I have suffered with lower back pain for the past 6 years following a car accident and whilst my GP is more than happy to prescribe me Tramadol I am concerned about the long term effects and the fact that the drug is highly addictive. Over the years I have tried various methods to alleviate my pain with the most effective being a TENS machine, but unfortunately, I am limited to the amount of uses per day. I find some days are worse than others, particularly if I have been carrying out housework or gardening as the pain will move into my buttocks and legs. I have used many of the heat rubs that are available; one of which belongs to Tesco and this review discusses my ..  Read the complete review

I have never really had the need or ailment to have to use deep heat before experiencing a quite bad and painful pulled leg muscle last year, since then it has sporadically resurfaced. As I like to grab a bargain and am of the opinion that the majority of own brand products are no different to branded goods I wanted to try the Tesco's own Heat Rub over the more widely known Deep Heat, which was the last heat cream I purchased. The Product This is an external pain relief cream; the heat rub comes in a tube in a white and burnt orange cardboard box. There is an image of a man's back and shoulders with a heat spot over where he is rubbing in the cream ...  Read the complete review

After getting a few muscle strains from going to the gym and pushing myself hubby suggested that I tried some Deep Heat to help ease the pain. Off I went to Tesco but fortunately I spotted Tesco's own make of Deep Heat as I was not prepared to pay the price of the branded versions of this. I had the choice of spray or cream but only the cream came in the cheaper Tesco own brand so this is what I opted for. ~~PACKAGING~~ The cream comes in a cardboard box which is white and orange in colour. The product name and Tesco logo is easy to spot on it and there is a picture of shoulders with cream being rubbed into them on the 3 sides. The back of the box ...  Read the complete review

As I suffer from muscular aches and pains, I try whenever possible not to keep on popping pills. Ibuprofen, generally speaking, seem to work for me when it comes to muscle inflammation, but I do suffer from burning pains in my tummy if I take too many over a longer period of time. I used to use Ralgex for my muscular aches and pains, but I have found this seems to be really expensive. I opted for Tesco's own brand alternative, as it is much cheaper (and I do love Tesco's). This cost me £2.59 for a 35g tube. That worked out incredibly cheap when compared to the branded products, which basically contain exactly the same ingredients and work in the same ...  Read the complete review
