Does Biofreeze also work on joint (rheumatoid arthritis) pain or only muscle pain?

I bought it for my mother, who has osteoarthritis. She reported that she disliked the sensation of cold on her skin and stopped using it.

It does work on joint pain. My chiropractor recommended it for my sacroiliac pain and it definitely helps.

It appears that the Perform has less menthol. Here is link as to why the original biofreeze was taken off of the shelves and the new Perform was created. http://www.massagemag.com/cvs-agrees-to-remove-biofreeze-from-shelves-5471/

You have a pain in you "GLUT"? Is it on the left side of your "GLUT" or the right side of your "GLUT"? You need to contact Dr. Spellcheck and see if he can "hep" you! You do know this stuff is suppose to be for arthritis pain, right genius? Kind a doubt it!

yes, my personal trainer recommended it for my soreness from lifting weights in the gym. it lasts longer than biofreeze or any other over the counter rubs.

On the Biofreeze bottle it reads "Formulated for Authorized Distribution Through Hands-on Health Professionals for the Patients, Clients, & Athletes Under Their Care". The bottle is just like the one my daughter-in-law got from her orthopedic doctor so I assume it is the same product.

Hi there Mr. Cooper, DMSO works well for ANY muscle/tendon related issue. I use it everywhere for any muscle/connective tissue related pain, swelling, and inflammation.

I don't have arthritis but rather joint pain from years of wear and tear and sports injuries. I used glucosamine for years without much success. I've used TFX Flex for over six months and it has really helped with the joint pain I felt. I've also done research on the UC-II ingredient and the clinical studies are very strong. It is my understanding the thei product will definitely help with osteoarthritis but I'm not sure about its benefits for rheumatoid arthritis. The price is reasonable so I would suggest you simply try it to see if it helps you. It has clearly helped me.

I've been using this product, rubbing it into my skin with no rashes or bad side effects. I swear by this product as one of the best for arthritis and joint pain. I started using it years ago for sore, aching muscles after working out. Still works great! Maybe the label should have read do not apply to wounds, irritated or broken skin.

I have no idea what the inactive ingredients are, all I know is that I have had positive results when using Biofreeze to alleviate muscle aches.

The relief of pain with biofreeze is awesome. I have herniated disks in my back and I can hardlystand the pain if it weren't for biofreeze. I put it on today before going to the movie

I actually haven't used Fast Freeze. I've only bought BioFreeze, but I can say that BioFreeze works really well. Because I wasn't familiar with Fast Freeze, I looked up a comparison on Google, and it contains the same ingredients as BioFreeze, plus vitamin E. It gets really good reviews, and because it's significantly cheaper than BioFreeze, I intend to give it a try soon. I go through a LOT of BioFreeze. I want to thank you for bringing this product to my attention.Good luck.Jim

Yes. I only purchase bio-freeze. I looked up my order and it said 32 oz BioFreeze, pump.

Good question. Short answer. yes. There's a problem tho. I like Tiger Balm bc it's based in oil and stays on my painful areas for longer than BioFreeze. BUT: it can really sting if you get it on your eyes. Sadly, i wouldn't recommend it for your hands. After I apply it, I wash my hands.... Maybe if you can only apply to the knuckles affected? Still, there's the chance of getting it in your eye. I don't know how well BioFreeze works after it's dry. (BioFreeze is what physical therapists use.) Keep searching. I googled topical pain relief and got some interesting products to consider. Good luck.

I have never used Penetrex but I do know that the Biofreeze helps a lot. I use it for both neck shoulder and lower back pain. Biofreeze was recommended by my physiotherapist.

I dissolve Aleve in the DMSO and apply it to the affected joint area. I sometimes coat my hands with it. It does wonders for my non-rheumatoid finger joint problems, particularly gout. I wash the gel coating off the Aleve and add one tablet to about a tablespoon of DMSO and gently warm to dissolve. Pour a few drops on hands and watch TV for an hour until my hands are dry. I only use it occasionally when there is pain or inflammation. Right now my hands are pretty much inflammation free.
