... to whoever suggested magnesium spray/oil for joint pain.

I’m struggling really bad with SPD, needed a few things from the shopping centre today but knew it would be a challenge with how much my lower back/pubic bone hurt. Despite strategically planning which shops to go in to minimise the amount of walking we’d need to do I still ended up in pain and was worried I’d set myself up for a long night again. I did pick up some magnesium oil as one of my purchases after someone on here recommended it.

I struggled a bit when I got home, started a Sunday lunch for me and my partner and was in a fair amount of pain. I changed into something comfortable and had my fiancé rub some of the oil into my lower back. It tingled a bit but after giving myself 10-15 minutes I do feel like I’ve gained some range of motion whereas normally even sitting after a few hours out walking would have me wincing in pain.

It could be a total placebo effect 😂 but I don’t care, it seems to be helping for now so I’ll take that and I’m keeping everything I can cross crossed for a half decent night sleep tonight - wish me luck! 🙈
