For Pain "Biofreeze has made a huge difference in reducing the amount of pain meds I use. Lifelong (50 years) of back pain. I am so happy about reducing meds including a prescription for hydrocodone. It cut my intake of this by at least half."

For Pain "Biofreeze works really well after hard labor or exercise. It cools off and relieves the pain, making it a great recovery ointment for muscles. I use it in addition to rolling out. It kind of acts like a rub in ice pack. I find this to be better for recovery than tigerbalm. But I use tigerbalm for Tight muscles and joints."

"I'm allergic to the biofreeze aerosol, not the gel or roll on just the aerosol. Why? Why is the best relief to an auto injuried neck only better with the aerosol but my skin falls off or stays a bright red just 5 minutes after the aerosol is applied. BTW, the roll on and gel don't work as well. ? I have all 3 products and bought them in bulk. I'd like the msds on them I used Astra until they changed their formula recently"

For Pain "It has a cooling effect on the pain area. I don't feel it really relieves the pain after the cooling effect is gone."

For Pain "Biofreeze works, but I have found that other medications are far less expensive/hard to find when I need them, such as winter, the sickness season, and basketball season."

For Pain "I have been using Biofreeze for years with fantastic results! I have used the spray, gel & roll-on which is my favorite. I wasn't thrilled with the spray, I found it difficult to use & I didn't like the mist in the air. The gel is good, but make sure you wear a glove to apply this. Any trace of Biofreeze on your hands can cause severe irritation of sensitive tissue (eyes, mouth, genitalia, etc). ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY after use. An example lately, I have very bad cervical pain. I use the roll-on and then use a neck pillow for support. Leaving it in place for a few hours really helps me; I often do this at bedtime and take it off sometime after I have been sleeping for a while!"
