Why does using fastum gel make my lower left leg hurt even more? My doctor recommended it for my muscle pain, but it seems to be causing more discomfort. I'm curious to know why this is happening.

While Fastum gel is generally effective for relieving muscle pain, it might be causing irritation or heightened sensitivity in your case, especially if your skin is already inflamed. discontinue use and consult your doctor for advice on alternative treatments. They may want to reassess your condition to ensure the best approach to managing your leg pain.
