Your Go-To Topical Arthritis Ointment/Cream?

What is your go-to topical ointment and/or cream for arthritis? So far, Biofreeze works best for me. I have tried Ben-Gay and Aspercream but the Biofreeze seems to be the best. I have read of Tiger Balm and Icy Hot.

Just wondering if anyone has a go-to product and why.

Thanks for your advice.

 

Traumeel worked better than BioFreeze for me. You are limited to 3 total doses of any combination (pills, cream, etc) per day.



My former podiatrist / surgeon who went from private practice to work for a hospital (I wish he was still in private practice) put me on this OTC medicine when I had my foot surgeries.
This will soothe the nerves to help reduce the pain.

 

I don't have arthritis, but I do have knee imflamation issues ("patelo-femoral pain syndrome") and I quite like Irwin Naturals Inflama-less. It's a little pricey, but works well for me.

Fish oil ... hmm! I smell a herring!

 

One of the many benefits of fish oil is that it's a natural anti-inflamatory.

 

Fortunately, crossing the 50 barrier a few years ago, my joints are still arthritis free. Every day I work with people as they come out of total knee and total hip replacement surgeries.

Here's to keeping the fingers crossed and the pedals turning....

 

Fortunately, at 67 I still have no need for such. I wish you well, @Redrock .

 

Not to mention it keeps your fish from squeaking.

 

I simply live in denial.

 

I find they stop squeaking right after the first bite.

 

Dosen't your skin get all pruney after too long in all that water?

 

I had both my hips replaced 9 years ago. So no current issues. Just got back from Florida Jet Skiing at 60mph. So all is good. But Jose Cuervo has always been a good friend of mine.

 

If fish oil is anti-inflamatory, how do you explain this

 

That is not inflammation, that is the herring!

 

I've used Blue Emu for other pains and I've heard it's good for arthritis.

 

This whole thing is difficult to digest.

 

Some set big goals for themselves!

 

Um... water retention?
