A member asked:
I forgot to ask about menthol in muscle rub. is that harmless as well. reason i ask because i over used a few tubes in one month ( costocondritis)?

Use Indocin (indomethacin): For costochondritis, I would recommend indocin (indomethacin) since the menthol rub obviously does not help you. Ask your doctor for a RX
