I use this on my knee before and after hours of cycling and it has effectively allowed me to stop living on Advil to keep the pain and swelling away. I was shocked at how well it worked.

I have been using it for idiopathic polyneuropathy in both feet, which is not debilitating after over a decade...helps with odd sensation.

I have diabetic neuropathy pain in my feet and have tried everything. Ran across this stuff in the clearance isle and thought I’d give it a try. OMG!! Within an hour I could feel a difference.I finally was able to sleep without pain.

I was disappointed with the product. It feels like I’ve applied absolutely nothing. Nowhere I’ve applied the “maximum strength” cream, has it been effective. I’d like to know the science behind it, actually. ?? How it can claim to be so effective, yet deliver nothing.

I find that Aspercreme works quickly and doesn't have a strong oder like other pain creams!

Nothing more than a lotion. Does absolutely nothing.

I dont know about the creme but the patches are a fraud. They are not fast acting, they do not relief pain, and obviously do not target nerves nor are they maximum strength. False claims printed all over the packaging. Useless product and a waste of $11.

Used on my hands which have become really functionally useless with arthritis recently. This did absolutely nothing but make my hands sticky. Did nothing for pain and function at all.

I bought Aspercreme Max Lidocaine patches & Dry Spray. What a rip off. Neither helped my pain & gave me NO relief at all. I got patches from my Humana OTC pharmacy. Pain relief within minutes. Wasted money for a senior gramma to lose.

I recently tried aspercream on my knee for arthritis pain and swelling. The pain was especially bad at night. The relief I have experienced has been amazing and lasts for 8-10 hours. I have not had any noticable side effects.

I have used this product for years with good results. I am disappointed in the outrageous price increase from $5.00 to over $20.00/$25.00. Why? No one can find a reason. Due to this price increase I may have to find a replacement for a great product.

I have been suffering from severe arthritis pain on and off for the past 5 years while usually taking Naproxen but I decided to opt for a cream this time. I have tried the Voltaren Emugel in the past which took the edge off the pain allowing me to try and get by with my day without wanting to cut my own feet off but Aspercreme took 90% of the pain away and has allowed me to be able to walk, work, continue with my day without suffering. I highly recommend it!

Tried it for frozen shoulder. Make a couple cuts in patch to fit on the rounded area of shoulder. I did not find any relief.

I have a few chronic injuries - car accident back pain, hip pain, flat feet, etc. This relaxed the muscles enough so I could rest and heal up.

For me this product is a safe easy to apply wonder drug. I take the version that doesn't have a heating element to it. No sting, burn or smell. Within 12 hours my pain is gone 100% of the time. It's truly amazing stuff.

My back and shoulder pain often wakes me up at night. I started using Aspercream instead of taking Ibuprofin and love the results. It also works faster than other pain relievers.

I have been having severe knee pain and I decided to try Aspercreme. Goes on well, no well, not greasy. It made no difference in the pain or swelling. I was very disappointed.

Aspercream has turned clothes and anything touched yellow. It WILL NOT wash out. Even the wall where touched is stained yellow?? Why?

I sometimes have pulled/cramping muscles and strained joints in various places such as my back, wrist, knee, shoulder, and neck. I use this when Tylenol does not last till the next dose or I need additional reduction in inflammation. It lets me do necessary activities, rest comfortably and sleep. I avoided using it in my child when he was under 12 due to its similarity to Aspirin.

This has always helped my back pain. I have also found it helpful with my gout.
