Just wanted to let you all know that it was not "peppermint" oil, but
actually some kind of pepper oil that I'm using to rub on the sites of
the adhesion pain. The active ingredient is "capsaicin" and I've just
started using it. It burns, kind of, and tingles when you apply it but
it's definitely better than the pain and it does help. It's recommended
for arthritis pain mostly. I also found a cheaper "off-brand" of this
that's not too expensive (the Zostrix was $20/tube and this other is
$10). You just have to ask your pharmacist and they are always very
helpful. Take Care!
