I did very recently on my trip to Alaska. I brought some home and applied it at night on my feet and ankles. It had a minor impact for me. I note that I had the regular version, but they make it is double strength as well. I was going to try that, but as of now, I have not. It is expensive, but if it works, it will be worth it to me.

Curious why you applied it to your feet and ankles, is that where you were having pain? I have pain all over, so would go through a bottle of it quickly.

Yes, that is where I’ve had pain since 3 foot and ankle surgeries on my left foot and ankle. 2014, 2015, and 2017. Original was for bunion, the others were sesimoid removal, fuse big toe, fix peroneal tendon, and the list goes on. They hurt like heck every day, and this seemed to help a bit.
