User Reviews for arnica

Fell and fractured (non displaced) arm at wrist in 2 places. Heavy bruising was mostly gone within 2 weeks and minimal pain with daily use. No side effects.

Suffered an elbow dislocation and had frozen shoulder and bursitis after the initial injury. Have used arnica with excellent relief from aching and pain especially after doing my exercises.

I tried several over the counter menthol medications for pain as well as aspirin rubs..over the counter oral meda including Tylenol, advil, and aleve.. Arnica has been more effective and faster acting .. applied once or twice daily to the site of my chronic back pain

It took all the pain away. I started one morning and when I got up the next day, NO PAIN. I cried because I had no pain for the first time in 30+ years. I have Scoliosis in 2 spots on my spine since I was 15. Now at 48, I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis with bone spurs. So when I said pain free. I meant it. Thank GOD for this pill, no more drugs, and saving money

I have tendinitis in my elbow whoch causes sharp pain under contraction and had found no relief with oral anti inflammation and pain medication amd after using arnica topical ointment has provided significant relief from the pain with no noticeable side effects am very happy with results.

I started taking arnica drops for my knee pain and swelling. The effect is so amazing. Swelling was reduced and the pain gone and I had more mobility and energy all of a sudden. It even helped my aching hip.

Banged the inside of my leg just above the knee near the crease resulting in a bad bruise with 2 small lumps in it. Rubbed Traumeel (arnica) on it and the lumps were gone in a few hours and the bruise was healed in a couple days instead of a week.

i have stiffness pain and also cramps in muscles and when I use the arnica in seconds pain is gone at Walmart stores they have arnica gel I rub on the best than bengay or any type of pain medicine

I have Fibromyalgia and Arthritis. I used the Gel for the first time and to my shock within minutes I felt some relief of my extremely swollen knee. I stayed off my feet and within several hours the swelling went down considerably! This morning the swelling is up again and I am definitely going to do the 3X a day now! My other achy joints I used the gel on are still pain free today! I am considering using the Pill to help with my Fibromyalgia. Thanks to all of You who tells others about this wonderful product! Had two Friends tell me!! :)Read More Read Less

When I played sports in my younger years I would use arnica gel 1x -7% on sore over exerted muscles as well as bruises and it worked great. The pain went down shortly after use and the bruises were gone in half the time. My mother took pellets to good effect for tension headaches at the time and my wife now uses pellets to help with myalgia pain, though topical seems to help with pain more effectively when it has a source.

taking Coumadin-always bruising-severe

I used arnica cream/gel as well as sub lingual prior to and post rotator cuff surgery with impingment. My DR was amazed at my recovery at 3 weeks post surgery. I have regained full mobility and have not suffered intense pain or restriction. He said this is very uncommon with this type of surgery. I am sure my rapid recovery is a result of my use of arnica.

didn not make a difference in reducing my forarm bruises, which appear for no apparant reason.

Started water aerobics after much inactivity, had some aches and pains prior, aerobic activity certainly aggravated lower back, foot, ankle pains. Had arnica Montana 30c homeopathic tabs by Boericke & Tafel left over from Derm surgeon procedure for bruising pre surgery and remembered reading about pain reliever, took 2 and within an hour realized I wasn't feeling the same level of pain. Great alternative to maloxacam! I'm a believer.

I had read about this a lot, and have had it recommended for my fibromyalgia by other patients. I never decided to try it, until I was in a car accident and found the post-accident treatment course (NSAIDs and Zanaflex) was not helping. Then I got a coupon for Arnicare, thought I'd try it since the coupon made it affordable enough. I was skeptical, but figured it could hurt. Put it on my neck where it has been tight and swollen for days and very quickly, I felt relief. Same with shoulder and mid back. I didn't put it on one side of back just to compare, but did the same massage. One side feel good, the other sore. Very surprised!!! I had just read an article that said no people with severe and chronic inflammatory pain diseases have said it works... Well, mark me as one that says, it certainly did work! I have degenerative disc disease and fibro, extensive nerve damage. My neck was from the accident, but the back is chronic and debilitating. I usually have to be smoking medicinal marijuana to get that easy of relief. I'm now hoping I can have it used next time I have massage therapy.Read More Read Less

I had a partial cartilage removal from my left knee over a year ago. I get swelling if I stand too long or particularly if I play golf (which I love) as the torque on my left knee seems to induce pain and swelling even if I wear a brace to play. The other day I played golf, and had my usual knee pain and swelling, coupled with sore forearm muscles from golf and pilates. I am ALLERGIC to ALL NSAIDS. Huge problem to treat swelling! Took 2 Arnica under the tongue and felt relief, followed it up with 2 under the tongue 3 times today and there is significant improvement in my forearm pain and a reduction in the knee swelling which is the source of the pain. I'm going to look for some topical Arnica to apply to my knee. I have used Traumeel cream before with success and it contains Arnica. But I think the straight Arnica will probably be better.Read More Read Less

Gel works quickly for neck shoulder aches. At end of a headache, I rub into base of brain area- really helps with tenderness. Used on muscle above an inside ankle with plantar faciitis - had no pain there, but muscle was swollen. Gel temporarily eliminated that swelling, demonstrating to me the power of arnica. Ended faciitis with exercise for foot. Pellets were recommended to me by doctor for post hysterectomy pain but was no match for that pain. Still, love it for muscle pain.
