Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I use Myoflex when my pain medication will not ease the constant pain I have from Raynaud's, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis. You name it. My husband buys this cream for me by the case directly from the manufacturer. I cannot believe how well this works. Better than morphine. My physical therapist introduced this cream to me over 10 years ago, and I have used it since. So do all of my family."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "Severe neck and spinal pain (stenosis). My partner massages this into my neck and spine using pressure. This is very comforting. It does not replace pain medication but does help. He has large hands and rubs it in completely; I recommend giving this a try."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "This works for me, it alleviates my lower back pain and any joint pain. I have been using Aspercreme for 5 years. I do not leave home without it. It has saved me from getting my lower back fused. Thank you for helping me feel better for sure!"

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I take many pain medications. I have tried physio, heat, and ice packs - you name it, I have tried it. I used Myoflex on a whim because my mother-in-law had some and said it worked. It REALLY does work!"

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I worked at Target for a few years. On my feet all the time, and they ached at the end of the day. To get to sleep, I would use a face scrub like apricot scrub on my feet, then rinse, towel dry, and apply Aspercreme. It worked like a charm. I highly recommend this product for the relief of foot pain at the end of a long day's work."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "Using for long-term knee and hip pain. Damaged meniscus with arthritis and swelling at knee and hip tendonitis. Could barely walk sometimes. Aspercreme helped a lot with both, and it seems swelling is less. I can stand up faster and start walking sooner. Pain is greatly decreased, though not gone, and I've got more mobility again, as every step isn't agony. I'd say pain decreased from a 7 and 8 down to 3. Especially helped with easing pain from movement during sleep that would wake me. Been using it less than a week. Really surprised, hope it keeps working, because can't get pain meds, and long-term oral NSAIDs were causing gastro problems."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Osteoarthritis "For over 15 years, I've had midfoot pain. First symptom was pain and stiffness when I got up from a sitting position. Slowly through the years, the osteoarthritis became debilitating and interfered with my life. Prescription Celebrex, prescription ointment, and expensive sneakers did little to help (I recently stopped my Celebrex due to bloating and stomach issues). At work, I am on my feet often, and by lunch, my feet were in unbelievable pain... crippling pain with a lot of inflammation. Four days ago, I was going through my old medicine supplies and came across Aspercreme. I ended up using the cream with my prescription ointment, and the very first day I came home without major pain and absolutely no inflammation. I have been using it morning and night... so far my feet feel 70 percent better (seems to have helped dramatically with inflammation... I am thrilled and absolutely amazed by this). I will be buying more of this product and will be sure to have a few backup tubes on hand."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I have to stand where I work for the entire shift (8 to 10) hours except for a couple of breaks, and my feet burned 24/7. I tried Aspercreme foot pain cream, and it was great. All of the burning went away. I can walk and sleep again with no pain. Thank you very much for making this product!"

Trolamine salicylate topical for Bursitis "I get overuse bursitis in both my shoulders from exercise followed by golf followed by exercise, etc., etc. Tired Aspercreme (standard yellow tube for about $7-8) on a lark, really, and it worked (still works) great. Works as well-maybe better-than CBD ointment I had been using. Sorry to see all these negative reviews for Aspercreme from people who had it fail-really cheap, totally effective solution for me."

For Pain "Plantar fasciitis: I combine Aspercreme with Cortizone-10 and rub it in and around my heel before bed. The next morning, although still stiff, once stretched, there is almost no pain when walking. Other than direct cortisone injections into the tendon, nothing else seems to help other than not walking, but that is not practicable and still makes a living."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I have used Myoflex cream for osteoarthritis pain, and it works incredibly well. I have tried all the others (Voltaren, etc.), and Myoflex is superior. It doesn’t smell, isn’t greasy, and rubs in topically, very easily. This is the best!"

For Pain "I have frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Aspercreme (trolamine salicylate) had the least/mildest side effects of any other medicine I saw, and the price was great. My mother had a frozen shoulder around 1985. Surgery was recommended, but she wanted to first try the painful stretching exercises to break the adhesions. This helped ease the pain enough to do them and recover. Since then, I have used it occasionally for a cramping deltoid muscle in my neck/shoulder that would send me to bed otherwise. Works really well when Tylenol is not enough, especially when trying to sleep."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "Useless. The only claim that actually is true is that it is 'non-irritating.' I have level 10 myopathy, with intense cramping, burning, pinging, and a paper-cut-like sensation that is only out-challenged by a hit-your-shin-against-the-bedpost pain that never goes away."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I have a bad neck. I broke it some 20 years ago. However, when the weather changes, it hurts badly. So I asked the pharmacist what would be the best topical pain reliever, and they told me Aspercreme. So I put some on my neck last night before going to bed. I woke up with a rash and burning on my neck. It's like one of the worst sunburns I've ever had. It worked on my neck pain, but I don't think I can use it anymore, due to the burn I got from it."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I rubbed it on my neck, and in about 30 minutes, I started getting very warm. Went to sleep for about 3 hours and woke up itching, heart started racing. Heart still beating fast 2 hours later. It freaked me out."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "It always works for mild to severe pain, but in varied degrees. I always use it - see if I need to take any pain pill, like ibuprofen, tramadol, or other pain pills. Seldom need more. For chronic pain, I use cream and pills both if I have to stand or sit for long periods. Love it. Recommend to everyone."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "I suffer from lower back pain, locking up of my back, and sharp pains down my legs. Aspercreme has helped me through some tough times. I supplement use of this item with Aleve as little as possible. If I can go every 3 or 4 days on just one dose, I feel that I am doing okay. I stay active this way. Thank you."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "Used this product for some time now. Was very happy with it. Decided to try the Lavender. Had an allergic reaction. Very itchy patch on my back where applied. Not giving up on the regular because it works, will just not use the Lavender one. Just thought I'd let you know."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "Aspercreme with lidocaine is the best cream I’ve found to help pain. I have a ruptured disc and it helps better than pain meds. I rub it on my face and head when having migraines and severe headaches, and it works. I wish they had an Aspercreme bath oil to help generalize arthritis pain throughout the body. I would certainly buy that. I recommend this to people all the time, and today I recommended it to a stranger in Walmart trying to find the best pain cream. I’m sure it worked well for her just like it does for me. It’s wonderful."

For Tendonitis "I find it difficult to walk due to what one doctor said was plantar fasciitis. I am on my feet for 10 hours sometimes. I find that only certain shoes help; but when walking barefoot, I needed relief. My wife had Mobisyl, which contains 10% trolamine salicylate. It worked like a charm. Now trying it on my shoulders, which hurt as well, and hope it helps."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Pain "I applied a small amount on my knees. Within 20 minutes, a rash broke out on both legs with severe itching and burning. I had to go to urgent care, where they gave me a steroid injection and a script for Prednisone. I'm on day 5 of the script, and the rash is finally clearing. The script and urgent care cost me $90, in addition to the money wasted on Aspercreme!"

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "I like the product, but the packaging for the roll-on cream is insane. You've acknowledged it is for pain (arthritis, etc.) management, then why put on a cap that is child-proof and takes a wrench or pliers to remove? It is almost impossible for me, and I nearly give up each time. I just don't put the cap back on if I am finally able to get it off. Not good."

Trolamine salicylate topical for Back Pain "Aspercreme works fantastically for me for two herniated discs that shoot pain down my leg. The doctor was amazed as I do not ask for pain medication. The Aspercreme with lidocaine is non-greasy and washes right off."
