About 8 or 9 years ago, I had a bout of bursitis for around 9 months. Could not raise my arms over my head. Just when I thought it was going to be permanent, that stuff fixed it right up.
It comes in a tiny six-sided jar with a gold colored cap on it, and a green label with Chinese writing on it. it's made in China, but I found a supply at a little shop about 30 miles from here, way out in the boonies, so it can be got in the US if you're lucky enough to find it.

Oh, that stuff? I think i know it. It hurts, right? I mean it really hurts, for a while. Then it helps. A lot.
