Ouch! Where does it hurt?

My father-in-law, Phillip, has always been an extremely hard working man. Farming all his life. Whatever he had to do, he did it. He would go without brakes in his car to make sure the kids were taken car of.
In the harsh cold of Minnesota winters, Philip would go to work outside day in and day out. Sometimes he was doing typical farming, sometimes he was on the turkey farm. He lost a finger to an auger accident when he was a young man.
Over the years, the cold and hard work took its toll on him and his body started to rebel. Arthritis and gout settled into his joints and crippled him slowly. Now, at nearing 80 he is unable to open jars, zip and button his own clothing, and even needs a special tool to turn the key in the car. He can't even clip his own toenails. His feet are so misshapen with arthritis and gout that he can't wear regular shoes, we have to find wide, large slippers with hard bottoms for him. But since you need to have warm winter boots in Minnesota we've had to buy several sizes too large in order for him to get them on, much less walk without pain.
If you look in the picture, his hands are so bad he can hardly even hold his own grandchildren.
Phillip needs something to help with the pain so he can be more mobile. I believe Freeze It will help him. When he isn't in pain he is able to walk faster and handle the grand kids sitting with him. He would feel so much better and less of a burden if he didn't need everything done for him anymore.
You can buy Freeze It Gel or Freeze It Sticks. I think the sticks would be best for Phillip because he wouldn't have to rub it in with his hands and could reach more difficult places.
You can use Freeze It® for:
  • Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
  • Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
  • Arthritis, Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
  • Muscular Strains
