    Hi Clare...yup! I had to bring my son to school this morning and my husband did not clean the ice and snow from the roof of my car...I am only 5'2"...and the roof is high. I had to hang out if the inside and do it. I am looking for my heat pad now, because my already lousy back is killing me! My upper thighs hurt yesterday! This is my ovulation time, my aches and pains are always worse. Also it is freezing where Iive!

    Hi Clare,

    Most days I feel 80 vs. 52 due to muscle aches and various random aches that travel. The worst for me is muscle tension in my shoulders and neck. However, I have also had achey knees and lower back too. I use various creams that I rub in which do help - magnesium cream or arnica cream. I also take baths regularly with epsom salts. When it's really bad, I will resort to tylenol or a muscle relaxer. Not fun...
