Re: PIO Question
I think I've seen ladies say to ice before hand, let the alcohol dry really well, and heat/rub after.
**someone correct me if I'm wrong!
I heat before and after and warm the PIO up in my waste band first. Then I have my husband massage the injection area afterwards. Seems to work best for me. The warmth and massage allows the PIO to spread into the muscle so you aren't left with a big lump.
Good luck!!
