I Am nervous about the pain i must admit. I was thinking about some numbing cream for the tender areas.
Anybody reccomend some?

 

[leopardshark]

Lmao yeah it's called deep heat XD

 

[jezzlambert]

Im serious!! Im going to be doing this in 3 sessions at 7 hours each so anything that can help take the edge off is going to be a blessing!

[leopardshark]

You'll only feel it for the first 2 or 3 hours then you'll go numb ..
