I put a little gel on another spot and saw the same results - allergies. I read through the ingredients of the gel and found some questionable ingredients. I decided not to take any chances and buy myself something more natural. I didn't want to go to the drug store anymore, so I started looking for medications online. This is how I learned about Osteflex. This product promises to treat and relieve joint pain and is chemical-free - that's what I was looking for. I contacted a company representative and told them my problem and they assured me that the medication was appropriate for me to use.
