How long does the pain relief last?

For me it depends. Short answer is that I have gotten as much as 4-6 hours. But let me explain. I am 65 years old with osteoarthritis and CPDD and refuse to take NSAIDs as they have caused me to have heart arrhythmias after extended use. I use vinoprin only when I will be very active as doing yard or home maintenance work. Otherwise I use Boswellia Bromelain and Tumeric (NOW brand). I also supplement with Peppermint extract when using Vinoprin as it helps with digestion. If you have arthritis I suggest that you also supplement with Now brand Vitamin K2 (MK-7 type), magnesium citramate (Thorne Research) & Meriva (Thorne Research). I also avoid pork products, meats that have nitrates and avoid calcium supplements other than Thorne Research calcium Citramate. Relief from joint pain is made difficult due to American diet being nutritionally deficient. I am glad for the internet to be able to research natural remedies. Also i you are a senior I suggest that you research Taurine also.

Right after you apply the cream it feels better. More relief the longer I used. Lasted about 2 or 3 hours at first but after about a week it seemed like I didn't need to use as often.

Well its a soft collar, so I would think for a while till your pain level says to stop.I found it very comfortable and it helped me.

Sciatica is pretty miserable since it burns all the way down one's leg. I would say this helps relieve the worst of it, so you can go about your day without having to stop and rest. You won't be entirely pain free, but you will feel relief from the really sharp pains. On really bad days, I might take 3 tabs all at once, and maybe 3 more 8-10 hours later. But that's more than suggested on the label, so use your judgement.

I wear a pain patch, and I put the tegaderm over the patch. It sticks for atleast a good 7 days or longer. They aren't hard to remove at all, and they don't rip your skin. The first week I wore them the edges kinda irritated my skin, but then it got use to it and I haven't had an issue since. I've been using this same box for a year now. I work in a hospital and we use the same brand. It pretty much rolls off when you're ready to remove it! Goodluck!

17 minutes per section/area. Can potentially take a very long time to get to all pain spots. I never did get any relief from my pain by using this product.

It sure does!!!! this works wonders on all aches and pain, but be careful not to rub too much and too hard, and don't use hot water either, this stays with you for at least 20-24 hours of pain-free I use it all the time

I had kidney stones, and for me, the pain was reduced significantly within 24 hours of starting the tablets. When I started taking Stone Free, I was experiencing excruciating pain, so I was taking 15 tablets a day at that point. The stone passed a few days later. Hope this helps.

I use it for lower back and pretty much anytime my back hurts and I am home with time to spare (bare back is best). A few minutes is all you really need but it feels best while you stay on it. I have noticed it works really well after I am achy from a workout and when blood is still flowing. Make sure you adjust your position slightly every 15-30 seconds, this moves the spikes to new positions on the skin and feels great! The relief will only last between 10-30 minutes after you stop though. I have never tested this but I believe if you use it often and regularly you will experience long term relief.

I have never used the product overnight. I am afraid that I really cannot answer. The total relief time is in about 10 minutes and lasts a total of 1-3 hours.

Depending on the person, generally between 30 minutes and two hours (some traces of the effect sometimes last close to that two hour mark) I generally have it work perfectly for the first 30-45 minutes then it trails off by the one hour mark, though some of my friends have said it lasted longer for them.

Yes, not a long term fix. Once i put it on, the effects last for about 8 hrs.

Normally after two to three uses and then maintenance use from there on depending on the severity of the pain.

I would say that this depends on the seriousness of your pain. I get relief quickly. I repeat my sessions on that particular location if necessary. I have been using it for 2 minute sessions on a spot on my lower leg where I scraped myself. My chiropractor explains it as stimulating the mitochondria in the cells to get busy and heal the cell. I love the thing!

for chronic intense pain i used it daily averaging an hour or more daily, you have to use at least eight minutes them move it, a few cm and repeat to cover the area. it has a self charger so it's cordless. It reduces inflammation quickly but took weeks to to relieve and heal the discs. The pain has not returned. i use it occasionally to ensure further damage and on wounds and broken bones. It is not painful to use just time consuming. The docs could only give me heavy pain killers, physical therapy made it worse. I paid more for mine but well worth the price

it has a nice cooling affect that lasts about 20min. It works on all kinds of pain. I purchased for myself for neck pain and for Migraine (don't get to close to the eye and is a little messy in the hair line) but it helps a lot. I also purchased for my Mom-in-law for her arthritis in her hands and knees and she said it helped a lot.

I have just had mine for two days. I am having headaches for at least 4 hours after using it for 30 minutes. I think I will start using it for a shorter time in the beginning.
