    Another natural product to consider is the herbal ointment made from
    Arnica. Various preparations can be obtained from pharmacies or
    health food shops (at least in Australia). This herb has the
    advantage that is actually helps the healing process, as well as
    relieving the pain. I have had various joint problems in the past
    (shoulder, hip, etc, which have been helped by this preparation. At
    the moment I have "Golf" elbow. You have to remember to rub it in
    several times a day. I usually keep the tube in a place where I will
    see it to remind me to apply it (eg on the kitchen bench top, or
    perhaps the studio bench), and it definitely helps when applied
    regularly. At the beginning of a problem I usually do 2 applications
    at a time, ie, rub in then another lot to rub in again. 

    Of course you also have to stop the activity (or do it differently)
    which is causing the problem in the first place! I have to wear an
    elastic bandage on my elbow when playing golf.
