I seem to recall swearing I'd never use Deep Heat again. I was maybe 12-13 and Sensei had thrown me too fast/I hadn't brake-falled properly, and I couldn't walk straight. Mum suggested a hot bath followed by spraying with Deep Heat. I agreed, and was ceremonially sprayed.
I couldn't sleep for the next 3 hours. I burnt everywhere.
Still, as time and ju-jitsu progressed, I realised that the occasional run-in with Deep Heat couldn't be avoided. And it's got me through many fencing competitions.
That said. I just foolishly had a long, very hot bath, and covered about half my skin in it. I am burning. Pain, pain, pain.
(It's actually starting to die down now, thankfully)
