My husband and I have different issues; he has Degenerative Disc Disease, Carpal Tunnel, and numbness in his feet and I have an enlarged aorta and pain in my upper back, neck and shoulders.
My questions are, can you apply this lotion on your entire body, or does it need to be in general locations of the problem area? I appreciate your time.

Hi DLynn,
Generally the lotion is applied sparingly wherever the pain is felt. Application to the entire body may pose problems for people who are sensitive to melatonin. Some people, such as myself can apply as often as I like, but others may feel tired if they apply too much at once or more than twice a day. Applying sparingly seems to work fine for most people.
For your husband with degenerative disc disease (DDD), I have gotten good responses from the following two part remedy in friends :

In your case I would lean more toward the mel gel or melatonin lotion. You might find that Stopain roll on from the DDD remedy for your husband, can be additive to the mel gel or melatonin lotion for pain management.
For the carpal tunnel syndrome, mag oil or mag lotion + melatonin lotion topically plus vitamin B6 in the form of P5P + vitamin B2 orally, may be helpful. Here is a link to a typical mag lotion product :

The numbness in the feet will depend on the cause. Is it caused by peripheral neuropathy or the DDD or something else?
