Lakota Joint Care allergy?
I have a messed up knee from running (possibly tendonitis or patellofemoral pain syndrome), and decided to try this Lakota-brand joint therapy. Apparently it’s supposed to numb the area and give temporary pain relief. (Kind of like a Rub A535 formula). It seemed like it was working alright, but now I’m up in the middle of the night with this extreme burning sensation on both of my knees! It absolutely kills and feels like they’re on FIRE. I tried washing the stuff off, but I think it’s seeped in so far that I’m just going to have to wait it out. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Am I using this stuff right, or do I have an allergy to the product? (I’m not allergic to anything, though!)

this has happened to my mother, doctor told her this is common in people who have sensitive skin, like younger and older people.
you probably will have to discontinue using it, its really strong, ask the drug store if there is something a little less stronger.
An allergy is a type of immune reaction. Normally, the immune system responds to foreign microorganisms or particles by producing specific proteins called anti-bodies. These antibodies are capable of binding to identifying molecules, or antigens, on the foreign particle. This reaction between antibody and antigen sets off a series of chemical reactions designed to protect the body from infection. Sometimes, this same series of reactions is triggered by harmless, everyday substances such as pollen, dust. When this occurs, an allergy develops against the offending sub-stance (an allergen.)
