Trolamine salicylate topical "Myoflex Cream is absolutely amazing. I had really sore shoulders and upper back from lifting. I used this cream, and the pain is now completely gone. Absolutely amazing medicine, I highly recommend it."

Trolamine salicylate topical "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 "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 "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 "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!"

"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 "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!"

"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 "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 "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 "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."

Trolamine salicylate topical "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!"

"Ohhhh my!! I had a very good (at first) experience with tramadol and, believe it or not, the Hempvana pain cream. It's over the counter. I used it together and had NO idea that it would even interact. At first, I felt very relaxed and high, then I started having problems with chest tightness and dizziness. I was only taking my prescribed dosage!! And nothing else!! I want to warn others about this. I am just as surprised as everyone else!!!"

Trolamine salicylate topical "I am 54 and have suffered from chronic pain for over 36 years. Some of my diagnoses include rheumatoid arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, etc. I have tried many OTC items over the years. Blue-Emu cream is, by far, the best I've tried. It works quickly. It does cause drowsiness for me, but it may not for others. I swear by this product!"

"Listed as the active ingredient in Hempvana Cream. It’s the same thing as in Aspercreme, Myoflex, et al. I believe that the company is trying to cash in on the CBD craze. The thing is that this product contains no CBD oil, just hempseed oil, which is not the same thing. I found it totally useless for minor knee and back pain. Local heat worked far better. A large waste of money."

Trolamine salicylate topical "The $16.57 4 oz bottle of Aspercreme was a complete waste of money. The product turned out to be a useless lotion that provided absolutely no pain relief whatsoever. Do not believe the marketing hype; it did not work at all. False advertising of this kind warrants a class action lawsuit."

Trolamine salicylate topical "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."
