It is very possible that your father is experiencing contact dermatitis (an allergic reaction) or a localized skin irritation from Moov spray. Ingredients like methyl salicylate or menthol can sometimes cause adverse skin reactions, including painful blisters, especially if the skin is sensitive or if the area was covered tightly after application. Please stop using the spray immediately and wash the area gently with mild soap and cool water. Avoid popping the blisters to prevent infection. Applying a cool compress can help soothe the pain. I highly recommend having a doctor examine his back to provide the best healing treatment.

What is an effective painkiller or strong ointment I can use to temporarily ease my severe lower back pain?which has not improved with Volini Spray or Moov Ointment?so that I am able to get up and travel to see my doctor?

To help you comfortably travel to your doctor, a short-term oral medication like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help ease the pain and inflammation. Please take these with food and as directed on the package. Applying a warm compress can also help relax your muscles. Avoid any sudden twisting, and please have someone assist you with walking.

What could be causing my right arm to be so painful and stiff that I cannot lift it past shoulder level, move it across my body, or sleep at night because the pain gets worse?

Your symptoms, particularly the limited movement and nighttime pain, are quite characteristic of a condition called adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as 'frozen shoulder,' or possibly a rotator cuff issue. These conditions are very common and highly treatable. For temporary relief, warm compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Please consult a healthcare professional or a physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized recovery plan.

After getting hit by a car a week ago, my left wrist is still slightly swollen and painful despite a normal X-ray and applying Volini and Moov; what next steps should I take, and do I need to see a local doctor?

Persistent swelling and pain after a week can indicate a soft tissue injury, such as a wrist sprain or ligament stretch, which does not show up on a standard X-ray. Since you are still experiencing discomfort despite using Volini and Moov, it is highly recommended to see a local doctor or orthopedic specialist. They can physically evaluate your wrist to rule out ligament tears. For now, please rest your wrist, apply ice packs for 15 minutes a day, and keep it elevated to help ease the swelling.

What other pain-relief ointments can you recommend to completely get rid of lingering pain from a minor leg sprain, since Moov did not fully resolve it after a week?

It is quite common for a minor sprain to take a few weeks to fully heal. Since the Moov ointment hasn't fully resolved it, you might find relief by switching to a topical gel containing diclofenac or ibuprofen. These generic anti-inflammatory gels work directly at the site to reduce swelling and pain. Gently massage it onto the area two to three times daily. Additionally, try to rest the leg, apply a cold compress, and keep it elevated when possible. If the pain worsens or doesn't improve in another week, please have it checked by a doctor.

My mother fell yesterday and now has a painful, swollen ankle that she cannot walk on, along with a painful right hand. Since Moov spray, painkillers, and a crepe bandage have not helped, and she cannot tolerate strong medications, could she have a broken bone, and what should we do next?

Given that she cannot bear weight on her ankle and has significant pain in both her ankle and hand, there is a strong possibility of a sprain or a broken bone (fracture). Since over-the-counter measures like Moov spray and basic painkillers aren't helping, the most important next step is to get her evaluated by a doctor. She will likely need X-rays of her ankle and hand to check for fractures. In the meantime, please keep her off her feet, elevate her leg, and gently apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth. Please take her to an urgent care clinic or emergency room for proper care.

What could be causing wrist pain and limited movement when bending my hand backward, and what should I do if using Moov spray and a bandage for a week has not helped and there was no injury?

Since there was no injury, this discomfort and limited movement when bending your hand back could be due to repetitive strain or tendon inflammation (tendonitis). Since Moov spray and a bandage haven't provided relief after a week, I recommend resting your wrist and scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a physical exam and suggest targeted exercises or suggest a generic oral anti-inflammatory if appropriate. Please avoid heavy lifting or repetitive bending for now to let the area heal.
