Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Radian B muscle rub is a good heal for you case too ,it is a cream containing menthol, camphor, methyl salicylate and capsicum oleoresin. It works by reducing inflammation and by causing counter-irritation in the area where it is applied, which helps to soothe pain in the underlying tissues.
Methyl salicylate is a derivative of aspirin and has an anti-inflammatory effect(NSAIDS). When applied to the skin it is absorbed into the underlying tissues, where it reduces pain and inflammation in the local area.
Camphor, methyl salicylate and capsicum oleoresin are counter-irritants. When applied to the skin they cause cause redness and a sensation of heat to be produced. This distracts the brain from the original pain and therefore reduces the perception of pain.
Menthol causes the blood vessels on the surface of the skin to widen. It causes a sensation of coldness followed by a reduction in pain
But REMEMBER as i mentioned before that if the healing process is long (more than 3 weeks or no improvement or the pain is bigger than the hit itself then you must check with a doctor to see what medical factor is interfering with healing process
