I bought a bottle of roll on stuff to help with pain. It works pretty good . It's is topical so it won't interfere with other meds or upset your stomach

 

I have used it for muscular pain and my husband, for joint pain, and we both felt relief

 

It is called biofreeze and we got it at his chiro. I'm not sure if you can get it online , but I would think so.

 

It is manufactured in the US ,and doesn't test on animals

That was one of the only things my Dad said helped ease his pain. My sister used to order it online for him. Walmart sells it now. I bought some for my DH. I think it came in roll-on, ointment & spray. Not sure if the chiro sells a version that’s stronger or not but you can get it at Walmart.

@Tribesters  it's called professional, so I am not sure if this is the strength the sell at Walmart, but it might be

I have a friend who swears by Biofreeze.  I've tried it twice now, and it does nothing for me, sadly.

 Menthol USP 4% on Walmart version. Professional version sounds more impressive so maybe it’s stronger?

A friend of mine and her husband have tried BioFreeze

and Blue Stop. They said Blue Stop is the only topical 

treatment that has worked for them.

Salonpas gel is the absolute best.  I also have the pain patches.   The bio freeze you buy at Target or Walmart is not the same as I have bought from my Chiropractor.  That’s why I buy salonpas.

Biofreeze has been around for a long time (25 years) and originally was only available through healthcare professionals.  A number of years ago they started selling it from some health pharmacies and more recently (in the past year or so), places like Walmart, Target, etc. have sold it.

 

The original formula is what they are selling.  I've used it for years, ever since a massage therapist recommended it.

 

Biofreeze Professional is a new addition that can only be sold by professionals.  It's a slightly stronger formulation. You can check out their website for the full information.
