User Reviews for Pennsaid topical

Have been using it for arthritic hand pain. It helps take the edge off the pain, is easy to use, but seems to cause me some nausea. I'm backing off the dosage and only using when I absolutely need it.

Have had hip pain for years. Was prescribed this and can really tell the difference.

Samples at MD's office seemed effective, but $500 later (one bottle with discount coupons) I found it not to be effecive, and then discovered that some druggist will compound the same, perhaps with 3 percent mix for a much, much lower price, compared with these prices,

Started to take this medicine after several years of using Ibuprophen daily. I love the ease of use of this drug. Make sure you wash your hands afterwards because if you pet a pet then you may wash it off on their fur and they will lick the substance and become ill.

After reading these blogs I must say I'm disappointed as Pennsaid did not work for me. I am scheduled for a full knee replacement in June. My pain level fluctuates between a 7&9 and after using this topical of 40 drops 4x a day I noticed no relief from pain. Actually I had better results from Bio Freeze. However, I'm happy to hear this medication has worked for others.

Joint domage following a Septic arthritis in my knee. After 3-4 application, pain goes away. Very effective.

I've been suffering from knee pain for the last 2 - 3 months and I've been limping everywhere. Doc gave me some Pennsaid to try and after a week I am not feeling any pain. I apply 2x a day.

My doctor suggested I use this for osteoarthritis in my right ankle. My swelling and my rotation ability improved. I was later diagnosed with arthritis again in the center of my spine. This lotion not only removed the pain but also helped me sleep better at night. I was so impressed with this company since it was developed specifically for the knee even thou it actually works on any joint. My friends dad uses on his elbow for painful gout.It should be advertised more because it sure beats having to pop pills and damage your liver. I tried Volatren Gel that claims to have the same medicine in it but thru research I found it has no delivery system to move the medicine into your joint. Save your money, at least for me all those over the counter rubs are useless. Read More Read Less

Since a drunk driver rear ended me in 1989 I have suffered from the damage done to C7 and C8. The referred pain triggers more muscle pain in the right scapular area and the pain migrates to even more muscles in the general area. It becomes so bad that I cannot move my right arm, much. This med works. After a topical application things calm down and so do I.

I have both knee and shoulder issues. tried many different compounds but none had the effect that pennsaid has. A few drops on the knee and no more grinding or swelling. Shoulder pain is reduced from an 8 to a 1. This stuff is great

works great for tennis elbow, achilles tendons and all knee pain! love this stuff!

This medication increased the pain in my knee considerably; I tried it twice for a few days and the knee pain was much, much worse during the application period; the added pain due the med lessened a couple of days after discontinue. It didn't help my original pain either, will not use again -

I have bursitis in my hips. I can't take NSAID's orally so we decided to try this. No side effects and it works great. I only use as needed.

I use it on my hands and knuckles for arthritis

Helps relieve pain in my. Middle fingers and give more flexibility.

excellent. virtually immediate relief 20 seconds.

My doctor gave me a sample of this medicine months ago, I forgot why but I broke my pinky finger on my right hand a week ago and decided to not have surgery and let it heal and just not have a pronounced knuckle for that finger. I pulled this medication out of the cabinet and started using it. When I rub it on the pain subsides within 5 minutes. I know my doctor will pleasantly suprised when I return Monday for another x-ray. I have been doing a few flexibility exercises with a pair of those Ming Balls (the ones you roll around in the palm of your hand) and so far so good.Read More Read Less

Very effective. Don t get fooled looks water it is not. Use it as prescribed 4times a day 40 drops. Was not effective for me at te eginning because i was not compliant. As soon as started to use it 4 times a day, it worked like magic!

I was in a car reck. My shoulder was hurt. My Dr. gave me a sample bottle of pennsaid. It worked wonders for my shoulder. Easy to apply. I will only use it when I am in pain because of the side affects but it does work.
