Actually, it helps take care of the after effects of stupidity.  One night a couple of weeks ago, I was doing some hiking with friends in the foothills near where I live.  It was about midnight and very dark.  As we came down from the forest land into the residential area, we had to cross someones driveway.   As I approached the edge of the driveway, I saw that I was about 5 or 6 feet above it and there was a small area of what appeared to be 5″ tall ground cover bush.  Rather than walking around to where the jump would have been much less I made the choice to go for it here.  Bad idea.  The 5″ tall ground cover was actually about a foot and a half deep!  Needless to say and crashed and burned severely.  Ripped the skin off of both palms as a splayed forward onto the asphalt.  Lots of bleeding the rest of the way home…  The next morning when I hopped out of bed I realized that I had seriously tweaked my left ankle as well.  It was painful to walk for sure.  I looked at it and there was no swelling or bruise. Hmmmm  I went for the Ibupro and put a small dab just below my ankle bone and rubbed it in.  Within about 3-5 minutes I could feel a major change.  I was about 80-90 percent pain free.  I was amazed!  That night when I went to bed I could tell it was wearing off so I hit it with another shot of the cream.  When I got up in the morning there was no pain!  It was sore to the touch but no discomfort at all while walking.  Now I’m 52 years old.  And while I am a pretty fit guy I have grow accustomed to the concept that when I injure some part of my body it takes a lot longer to heal then when I was a lad.  I’m not sure what or how or why, but I know for sure that if I had just let it heal by itself  I would have had pain for many days, probably well over a week.  The particular combination of ingredients in this cream really impressed me.  My medicine cabinet will never be without a tube!
