"If you have sciatica like me, arthritis or just plain muscle aches, this stuff is brilliant."
A £1 gel from Poundland has gone viral after one sciatica sufferer shared her experience of using it on social media. Posting on a popular Facebook group , the woman, who would prefer not to be named, revealed how Masterplast Freeze Gel, which is currently being sold for a quid, helps her pains caused by sciatica 'better than medication'.
Under a picture of the gel, she wrote: "You need to try this! if you have sciatica like me, arthritis or just plain muscle aches, this stuff is brilliant. I've had medication from the doctors and still in pain, pop this on and it does the job only £1 in Poundland."
The woman then made an edit to her post to state that you can't use the gel while pregnant.
The post has since spread like wildfire, racking up over 9,000 comments and over 6,000 likes.

Speaking to Manchester Evening News, the woman behind the post explained how both she and her mum have found the gel effective for sciatica and arthritis.
She told us: "I've only been using it for two months with my pain but my mother who is really ill with arthritis and other problems has been using it for years.
"As soon as I applied it within 10 minutes the pain eased. I've tried all the Deep Heats and doctor's creams and for me it does the job. I just need to stock up on it now."
And she's not the only one who rates the gel highly.
Responding to the original post, another social media user posted a picture of the same gel, writing: "To whomever posted about the Poundland Freezegel —- thank you so much!
"My husband has been suffering with sciatica and related back pain for over four months. He’s been on various pain killers, rubs, creams, exercises, private physiotherapy but with very little relief. Bought a tub this afternoon and it has been fabulous.
"Not completely pain free but it certainly has made him a lot more comfortable after one application! He’s hopeful for a full night’s sleep!"
