Please don't buy this cream. My ankles were 27,9cm by evening, I couldn't see the bone. Here's what happened when I used NuraCalm for 6 weeks, with a tape measure. I'm Sarah Mitchell. For 19 years I've measured and fitted compression stockings behind the counter of a chemist in Pontefract. Thousands of legs. I teach women how to wrestle the stockings on, how to check the fit, how to "manage" their swelling, and how to accept that this is just how it is now. Five months ago it was my leg on the little stool. My own ankles going by teatime. Sock grooves still there at bedtime. The GP said the same words I've heard customers repeat for 19 years: "It's fluid retention. Common at your age. I'll put you on some water tablets, and get yourself measured for compression." Measured for compression. By me. I fit them, love. That's my counter. I filled nothing. The water tablets prescription went on the windowsill behind the kettle. Because for 19 years I've watched the same women come back to my stool, year after year, needing a wider size. Class 1 at 58. Class 2 at 63. Then the velcro wraps. I know the trajectory. I measure the trajectory. I wasn't ready to walk it. A rep at a training day mentioned magnesium chloride cream, not the £6,99 spray, she said, the proper transdermal kind, and told me about her mum's ankles. I'd dismissed magnesium for years, because everything I'd seen was either a spray that sits on top of the skin or a tablet your gut burns off before it's anywhere near your leg. This was neither. I figured I had nothing to lose. The prescription would still be on the windowsill if it didn't work. I did what I do to everyone else: I got the tape measure out. Right ankle, same spot, 7am and 9:30pm, in biro. Day 1: rubbed it up both calves after my bath. Cool, pleasant, a bit of lightness. That's all, and I'd have been suspicious of anything more. Evening: 27,9cm. Day 4: the sock groove was gone by breakfast instead of lunchtime. Evening: 27,6cm. Could be nothing. I know how measurement works. I kept quiet. Day 9: evening 26,8cm. First time under 27 since spring. Slept through without the 3am heavy, leg ache. Day 13: I did the thumb test on my shin, the one I show customers. Pressed 5 seconds. The dent filled in while I watched, instead of sitting there like putty. Day 18: evening 26,1cm. Stood the full Saturday shift, market day, our busiest, and didn't once sit on my own fitting stool. Day 24: I wore my brown leather shoes to my granddaughter's christening. At 6 o'clock, on the way home, they still fitted. My husband didn't say anything. He just looked down at them, then at me, and squeezed my hand. He's watched me hide my ankles for five months. Day 31: evening 25,3cm. I ate what I liked at the carvery, salt and all. Checked at 9:30 expecting to pay for it. 25,4cm. Day 42: morning 23,2cm. Evening 23,9cm. Under a centimetre between morning and night. I sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the tape like it was lying to me. Five months ago the evening read was 27,9. I could see my ankle bone. Both of them. Here's why it worked, because I've spent weeks understanding it and I'm furious that nobody at any training day in 19 years ever said it. After 50, your body holds a lot less magnesium. And here's what no one tells you: the big muscle in your calf is a pump. Your second heart. Every time it squeezes, it drives the fluid up and out of your legs, back the way it came. But that muscle only squeezes properly when it's got magnesium to fire it. Think of it like a phone. A phone needs charge to make a call. No charge, no call. No magnesium, no squeeze. So the pump goes weak, and the fluid it's meant to push up just sits there, sinking down to your ankles with gravity all day long. That swelling everyone blames on your heart, your weight, your age? Half of it is a pump that's run out of what it needs to fire. The "fluid retention" everyone keeps managing is just the water pooling at the bottom. Feed the muscle the magnesium it's missing, and the pump switches back on. It starts shifting the fluid again. The legs drain. But the magnesium has to get down INTO the muscle. Through the skin, right into the calf. Not sit on top. And not go down your gut, where almost none of it ever arrives. That's the whole difference. My stockings squeeze from the outside, they never switch anything on; ten minutes after they're off, it's coming back. The water tablets wring the water out through your kidneys and leave the pump just as weak, and they flush out magnesium while they're at it. The £6,99 spray sits on top of the skin. NuraCalm is magnesium chloride, the 1 type that soaks through, with MSM that breaks it into tiny bits so it slips through the skin and reaches the muscle, vitamin B6 to help shift the extra fluid and keep the pump firing, arnica for the aching heaviness, and a little menthol so it feels cool and light in minutes. You rub it up the calves, 1 or 2 times a day, and you give it 4 to 6 weeks. It's a cream, not a drug. Nothing to swallow. Nothing to clash with your tablets. Last week my GP looked at my ankles, then at her screen, and said: "I don't think we need that prescription after all. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." The water tablets are still on the windowsill. Unopened. Five months old. So don't buy it. There'll be more left for me, I'd like the tub to still be in stock when I reorder, and it comes and goes. But if your socks are leaving grooves that won't fade. If your ankles vanish by teatime. If there's a prescription on your windowsill you're not ready to fill. If someone just told you it's "manageable" and something in you refuses to accept that managing is the whole story: Get a tape measure. Same spot, morning and night, in biro. And give this 6 weeks. There's a 90, day money, back promise, so the tape measure decides, not me: https://try.nuracalm.com/edema-dont-buy Edit: a few people have said they bought it on Amazon and felt nothing. That's because the copies on there have barely any magnesium in them. The real one is only on their own site: https://try.nuracalm.com/edema-dont-buy P.S. 19 years of fitting stockings taught me one thing I wish I'd known at the start: a stocking holds a leg, it doesn't empty one. Only the calf pump empties a leg, and the pump just needs feeding: https://try.nuracalm.com/edema-dont-buy P.P.S. Do the thumb test tonight. 5 seconds on the shin. If the dent stays, that's fluid your pump isn't shifting, and that's exactly where I was on day 1, at 27,9cm: https://try.nuracalm.com/edema-dont-buy Sarah Mitchell, Pontefract

6 Years of Swollen Legs gone in2 weeks

I wasn't going to write this one up — but after the third patient this month put the same jar on my desk, I decided someone should give you the honest reasons not to buy it. All eight of them.
