How long does the relief last? I use Max Freez for my neuro pain and lasts two hours.

It lasts about six hours. However I use Cortizone-10 most of the time and it lasts most of the night.

In my experience, I rub it on my feet at bedtime. I fall asleep before it wears off so I really can't say for sure. It usually takes me from 15-20 minutes to wind down and go to sleep. I don't use at any other time. I just want to stop the pain so I can go to sleep.

Probably about three hours, I used to have my aide rub my feet before she left at 3pm but it still bothered me when I went to bed. I had broken my hip and could not rub it in again at bed time. Then when I wore my sneakers without socks, it made my feet smell. I have not used it since I arrived back in MA.

I'm not sure. I use it before I go to bed and sometimes before going to work. It's supposed to last 4 hours I think. I believe it really helps. I have it for sinus pain and congestion too. As well as for aromatherapy.

Not sure on how long it lasts because I'm using it on a regular bases, and will probably order more this Friday so I won't run out. The one pound can has lasted me six weeks, taking it twice a day. I had injured my ankle a couple of years ago and this has helped it so much. I haven't had any pain in it since Anout a week after I started using this product. I also bought some for my mom. She had polio when she was a kid, and has problem with her neck. She told me the other day she would keep taking this product. She even wants my sister to start on it. As far as storage, I keep mine in the cupboard. Not sure on how long it lasts because I'm using it on a regular bases, and will probably order more this Friday so I won't run out.

The size bottle I chose is 240 tablets and I take 2 a day (1 morning & 1 evening) total Glucosamine 1500 mg & Chondroitin 1200 mg per 2 tablets. So 240 tablets lasts 4 months. I decided to use this product for shoulder joint pain (2 surgeries) & has helped some, but I have x-rays yearly that clearly show the joint is narrowing. This year in a month I have new x-rays and want to see if these pills are making any difference or will I need shoulder joint replacement.

That's what it's supposed to do when used properly and for a long enough period of time. However, my chiro recommended that I do no more than 2 pumps (it goes up to 6) to start and only for a few minutes. I have an extremely painful bulging disc. So it isn't going to work overnight... it will take a long time and dedication. However, you can look at the time you use it as relaxation and meditation time.

I haven't had immediate results as the other answers but the company says it may take up to 7 days to fully work. I felt relief after about 5 days. Now I have no hand/joint pain anymore. This stuff is amazing.

Further to my last comments. There are different strength available. The one I originally received from my dentist was the overnight formula. The one I purchased afterwards was stronger, thus the two-hour directive.

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. This is based on depletion of Substance P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P).

I have used it on my foot for nerve pain, and it seemed to help. The pad is rigid and has no strap to keep it in position, so I place it face up on a surface and put my foot on it. Try it on less than full power as it can get hot after about 15 minutes.

Yes it help with pain and last about 15 min. but be sure to freeze about 24 hours first

I can not say 2 hours but I would recommend them with out a doubt. Great product.

I'm sorry, I've already gotten rid of the bottles, but I think it was between 2 and 3 a day. I can't say for sure though.I was taking 5 or 6 a day. Since I've run out of the NOW brand and now have nothing to take, I've notice almost no difference in my pain. When I've run out of the other brand I used to use, GNC, my pain definitely got worse.

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.

The pain relief is temporary, usually a few hours. I generally use it before bed when I have some aches to help me get to sleep.

Not sure about inflammation as I don't have that problem. Pain relief usually last for about 6 hours. Occasionally I do have to reapply after several hours. Pain comes back when I aggravate the area.

You have your answer but I just wanted to say that R. Dudzinski is right. I have Fibromyalgia and I hurt all the time so I use mine for at least 12-24 hours a day. I very rarely use anything higher than the 1 heat setting. Occasionally a 2 as long as I'm awake and I don't last too long with it. If you are elderly or have sensitive skin to heat or cold, just be careful. I am always cold and even on a 1 I can get too hot and have to move it aside for awhile. This is the best ever heating pad ever and I have two also just in case they stop making them! Hope you enjoy yours.

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.

We bought the 2nd one for my husbands boss but he ended up needing it sooner so we have him mine. No difference. Both awesome. I actually only need it once in a while now so I know it works. Strongly suggest you do it 15 min. At least at first. I actually fell asleep on it several times. Really relieved my pain. Good luck!
