cream does exactly what it says it can do. I did my research in trying to
find anything that can help me with my foot pain (Plantar Fasciitis).
I
tried several products including Penetrex and found that the Penetrex cream
healed my foot pain and allow me to continue playing my favorite sport,
Basketball!
I
found other products that are less expensive, but I found that you get what
you pay for.
P.S.
1st time writing a review on anything and I don't work for Penetrex (in case
you were wondering) - LOL!..."

"...My
husband is a bundle of different injuries/health issues. He used to live on
alternating doses of Tylenol and Advil, throughout the day.
Now
we have found something to work right at the source of pain, without killing
his kidneys or liver.
Mostly it is his back and knees that hurt, and Penetrex really helps. We
tried Biofreeze, and while that was pretty good, Penetrex is better.
I
wish this stuff were cheaper, because now he doesn't want us to ever run
out. My teen-age daughter used it the last time a workout was a little too
enthusiastic, and I was glad we had it on hand..."

"...Works
for my husband's plantar fasciitis pain which was mostly cured by the Heel
That Pain heel seats.
He
still has some pain after a very long day on his feet and he will take his
shower and then apply the Penetrex. The pain will go away quickly and the
effects will last most of the evening.
The
only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is very expensive for
such a small jar..."

"...I
searched high and low on Amazon for relief to my pain. I found it. (O:
Penetrex truly works. I've tried it all to find relief for my achy, creaky
knees, stiff elbows, carpal Tunnel and Plantar Fasciitis. Yeah, when you get
older everything hurts. )o:
I've
tried it all-creams, ointments, vitamins, drinks. All offering help. None
did.
Till
now. Penetrex truly helped. I love it. I've even given my twin sister a
bottle to help with a stiff wrist and thumb gotten from years of crocheting.
It helped her as well.
The
fragrance is mild, clean and fresh. I felt an immediate warming sensation.
Nothing scary. My knees started feeling better almost right away. The
stiffness and creaking have all but disappeared. I can walk up and down the
stairs without pain and that annoying embarrassing creaking.
I've
just finished ordering my third bottle. Okay, one I gave my sister, but it
still counts. (O: I wish I'd found Penetrex a long time ago. It would have
saved me hundreds of dollars and I would have found relief all that much
sooner.
I
could have used it to buy more Penetrex and not products that didn't work
and offered no relief whatsoever.
Five
stars and my undying gratitude for coming up for such a great, great
product. Thank you!!!!..."

am a massage therapist and i have fibromyalgia. I have horribly sore wrists
and i was getting desperate to find something that would help.
I
just purchased the penetrex last week and i have been using it according to
the directions of use.
So
far it is very helpful. I am not 100% healed of the pain but i would say i'm
feeling 75% better. I will recommend this to everyone..."

"...I
have been using Penetrex for 3 months now for my plantar fasciitis and it
has greatly reduced the pain.
I
don't usually write reviews but if something works well like Penetrex does
it's worth the time to let others know.
Give
it a try, you have to use it at least twice a day for a couple of days
before feeling relief.
Hopefully they do not stop selling Penetrex because i don't know what i
would do without it. Thank you Penetrex!..."

"...This
is the most effective pain relief cream I have ever used -- and I have used
MANY!!! I have had severe arthritis pain (RA and Osteoarthritis) since 1996
and cannot take medications due to the side effects.
I am
constantly searching for something natural to use. Some things have worked
minimally, and some worked for a while, but then are of no effect. This
product WORKS - short and long-term.
I
started to notice the difference at about day three. I applied it to only
one leg...hip to knee. I began to notice that if I applied only a thin coat,
but more often --- 3-6 times a day -- I noticed even more reduction in pain.
My
pain level went from about a level 10 (with "1" being the least amount of
pain, and "10" being the most amount of pain) to about a 4 or 4.5 level of
pain. This product was a gift from God.
I
notice as I continue to use it, the area is healing -- not just pain relief,
actual healing to the point that I have a greater range of motion.
This
is not an overnight thing...it is slow, but the progress is, for me,
incredible. I shared some with some friends of mine...a man who has suffered
with Neuropathy for several years now. He used it only one time, and the
pain started to subside.
The
other person I shared it with had an injury to her shoulder and elbow due to
a fall. She applies it only at night
(she states she is too busy to apply it anymore that once a day) and in the
morning her arm is no longer stiff and in pain...even all they way down to
her thumb which she was starting to have pain in.
They
also both commented that it doesn't have a strong scent that most topical
pain relievers have. It also is not greasy...it seems to soak in to the skin
within a few minutes. Yes, I agree with some of the other comments, it does
make your skin very soft too.
This
company ships quickly, and I have called a few times over the last few
weeks, and their customer service was very helpful and answered all of my
questions.
If
you are in pain, this product is worth a try...and if you are like me...
after you try it, you'll never want to be without it...."

been ordering Penetrex largely for the use of seniors in our household, who
have hugely benefitted from its regular use.
Not
only is the cream fast-acting, but, surprisingly, healing even stubborn
arthritis and old injuries.
A
great product that does what it says and addresses a variety of conditions.
Moreover, Biomax shipped the product quickly and with great care. Overall,
highly recommended..."

"...Penetrex
is a real blessing. Ten months ago I had knee surgery that left my right leg
crooked and painful. An extra five weeks of painful physical therapy helped
but couldn't fix the misalignment of the prosthesis.
Since the doctor that created the problem continued to claim everything was
normal, I had to choose between finding another doctor and submitting to
more surgery or learning to live with the pain and disability.
This
experience made me paranoid about orthopedic surgeons. Until I find one I
can trust, I have chosen to learn to live with the pain.
Penetrex makes that possible. The physical therapist gave me sample of a
pain relieving gel but it wasn't effective and besides that it smelled
awful. Penetrex works and it has no obnoxious odor..."

"...When
I developed daily pain in my elbow and wrist, I was baffled. After all, I am
not sports-oriented, so "tennis elbow" did not even occur to me.
I
make glass and gemstone Rosaries by hand...and had developed "Rosary Elbow!"
I cannot take oral anti-inflammatory medications, and so was at a loss as to
what to do. Browsing Amazon, I found Penetrex. And wow...I am SO glad I
jumped out and ordered a jar!
I
have to admit, I was both skeptical and concerned. I have sensitive
granny-skin, and topical creams/ointments usually cause extra problems
rather than solve them. Not Penetrex!
I
followed their directions completely, applying this non-greasy light cream
at least 4 times per day, being careful to apply at least 30 minutes before
sitting down at the workbench in my studio.
At
first, I did not feel that there was immediate improvement, but this
treatment deserved a chance...and so I continued. Like any good therapy,
results are incremental but positive.
Each
day, pain lessened and mobility improved. Now, I apply in the mornings and
at night, and have little if any pain or discomfort. As an added plus,
Penetrex cream has a very pleasant aroma, and even provides moisturizing
effects.
I
have to say that, for me, this made the difference in being able to continue
to do an activity that I love. I will most certainly purchase this again,
and I have recommended it to all my friends.
So
thank you, developers of Penetrex. Your product WORKS!!..."

"...I
purchased the creme for my parents who are avid golfers. As they've gotten
older little shoulder aches and tennis elbow seem to linger longer.
I've
tried getting other help aides for them and seem to be onto something with
the penetrex. They say they feel like it's working and asked me to get them
another jar.
5
stars for bringing a smile on their faces and allowing them to play their
favorite game with less pain. I'm hoping it continues to work. Thanks..."

"...I
have suffered from some severe joint pains in my fingers for months. My
fingers would become numb and stiff, at times I couldn't even hold any
objects in my right hand.
At
the same time, my husband is suffering from tennis elbow. I searched the
Internet and found this Penetrex cream. I started applying the cream on my
middle finger (just testing), I noticed the stiffness gradually disappeared
and the pain was not as severe as before.
My
husband also started using it before and after he played tennis. We both
noticed some differences with the joint and muscle pain. I like it so much
that I ordered one for my mother-in-law who has been suffering from
arthritis with her hands.
I
warned her to be patient and reminded her to apply the cream daily.
Hopefully, it will work for her..."
"Oregonian"

"...I
had to stop playing tennis multiple times over the years simply because I
could not completely get rid of my tennis elbow.
At
one point I had physical therapy, stretching routines, etc. that made a dent
but certainly did not eliminate it enough even to return to playing.
I
own arm bands, grip balls, you name it...BUT, I read about this stuff
Penetrex and thought it looked worth the effort.
First, it works really well. Second, it actually smells pretty good (not at
all like nasty menthol style creams)Third, it rubs in without being greasy
so you can still use arms bands and such over top if you wish.
I've
already bought this multiple times and I highly recommend it. I'm starting
to use it for some other types of strains and injuries for my family and so
far it looks good for those as well..."

"...At
the end of last summer, I developed achilles tendonitis by trying the whole
minimalist running thing. I was warned that running in shoes with a small
heel-to-toe drop would cause problems with my achilles tendon, and that's
exactly what happened.
I
stopped running but continued playing tennis, with the hope that it would go
away over the winter. It didn't. When the weather started to break, I got
anxious to run again, but the tendonitis really made it impossible.
I
ended up at a massage therapist, who told me that I had a bunch of scar
tissue around the tendon, and she proceeded to try to work it out. Probably
the 30 most painful minutes of my life.
The
next day the tendon was looser, but extremely inflamed from all the rigorous
massage. I tried oral anti-inflammatories, but they didn't help. I ended up
with a jar of Penetrex, and it has made a world of difference.
After two weeks, the inflammation is almost gone, and I'm actually able to
go out and run for the first time in over 8 months. One word of caution,
though: use it as directed.
Apply it every day, 3 to 4 times per day, for 7 to 10 days. My own feeling
is that the continuous application, over time, has been what's made the
difference for me..."

pain. I work at a computer during the day, so the pain was with me all day
as I typed at my desk.
I
read all the positive reviews for this product and gave it a try. I'm so
glad I did, because shortly after trying it, the pain immediately got
better.
After the first few days, I had to remind myself that what I was doing with
ease now was very painful just a short time ago. It has made such a
difference in the quality of my life. I swear by it now. Give it a try, you

"...I
have had elbow tendonitis for the last year and have endured tremendous
pain, could not even pick up a coffee cup without severe pain.
I
was only weeks away from scheduling surgery. I had tried nearly everything I
could think of to relieve my pain including anti-inflammatories and two
separate cortizone shots, and in a last ditch effort before surgery I had
decided to try Penetrex.
I
had seen this product on Amazon a very months earlier, but thought it was
probably like everything else I had used and thought it probably was a waste
of money. But I wanted to try one more thing before surgery, so I ordered a
jar of Penetrex, not really having high expectations that it would help.
I
followed the instructions listed on the label, I started noticing less and
less pain in my elbow. Now I do anything I want without fear of further
damage to my elbow or the pain.
I
have been doing strenuous yard work, picking up firewood and lifting any
weight I could previously handle before I injured my elbow.
Six
weeks later, my arm may feel a little sore from time to time, but I apply a
little Penetrex in the evening and I'm good to go the next morning. I don't
have to worry about surgery because of this product.
I
have ordered more Penetrex to give to my elderly mother for her arthritis,
says it helps her as along as she can remember to use it. I am a walking
advertisement for this product. Love it!!!!!..."

like to thank Penetrex and my health-conscious nephew for the gift that does
wonders for my arthritic fingers.

traces behind, as it quickly relieves the pain. You CAN teach an old

"...I
rarely if ever write a review like this, but in this case i thought it was
important to share my experience for the benefit of others...i am over 50,
highly active, and i developed tendonitis in my arm next to my elbow.
Nothing that i tried seemed to work--from tylenol to chiro to accupuncture
to complete rest etc, etc. i then did more online research and read about
Penetrex.
I
was willing to try anything (6months had passed with no improvement) My
order came very fast and it worked immediately. At first i thought it must
be a fluke, but it has done everything that was claimed.
I
then applied it to my foot because of plantar fasciitis which has bothered
me for over a year-(runner's injury from overuse..i had been taping my arch
and using shoe inserts and resting the foot for nearly a year) All back to
normal..no tape and normal activity again--TOTALLY AMAZING!!..."

Amazon and ordered a jar.
By
just rubbing a small amount onto my wrist, I feel nearly immediate relief
and now after about two months of use, the pain is just about gone and I no
longer am considering the surgery.
I
also use it occasionally on my shins and ankles for joint relief. I would
highly recommend this product..."

"...Having
suffered from Plantar faciiatis since 2005 and then some hip bursitis
developing recently when trying to get back to running after knee surgery, I
was determined to do whatever it takes to recover gradually but FULLY for
once - and approaching mid 40's its not getting any easier!
So -
i found and tried penetrex 6 weeks ago, and have seen MAJOR improvements in
the plantar and hip. While I have also continued with other regiments such
as alternating ice/heat, and rolling tight calves instead of stretching
them, I attribute much of the healing to Penetrex.
It
even seems to have helped my hip. So - despite being the cheap skate that I
am, I ordered another couple of tubs.... I have sights set on Boston, and
plan to be using Penetrex for the next few motnhs if needed to get me fully
healed.
Great product - I've tried a lot in 6 years, and I really think this stuff
works!..."

"...Throughout
the years I have tried several products making statements as Penetrex. Much
to my surprise it has helped my tennis elbow, arthritis in my wrist and
fingers.
Also, I have a torn rotator cuff, even though I religiously stretch
everyday, before I play tennis and after I play I still have pain and
Penetrex has helped me immensely.
One
of my friends got hurt on the court and I massaged Penetrex into the pulled
thigh and she was so impressed. " Where can I buy that product".
After a few months of using Penetrex I have started to promote the product,
I had to believe in the product first before I could tell any of my friends.
Like they say "Try it you'll like it".
You
don't have to be a tennis player to use it. THANK YOU PENETREX, I only wish
it was less costly, but you pay for what you get; and you get a worthwhile
product..."

"...This
is a most amazing product and does exactly what it promises. The best of all
it is natural, does not irritate skin and has a pleasant odor.
I am
nearly free of shoulder pain after about 2 1/2 weeks of usage. It was so bad
that lying in bed was a problem, as well as lifting the arm.
Delivery was prompt and they also deliver to other countries that do not
have this product for sale. So far I am thrilled and have recommended it to
many friends & acquaintances..."

"...I
recently began using Penetrex three months ago for plantar fasciitis, and I
am so pleased.
I
was going regularly to a podiatrist and then for PT to help with this, and I
was slowly improving. Once I started using Penetrex, very quickly my plantar
fasciitis started going away.
My
PT and podiatrist seemed surprised that pushing in on my heel was not
hurting anymore, whereas I would previously winced in pain when they did
that. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was a cream that I was using.
I
consider this cream to be "liquid gold", I am truly amazed at how well it
helps. Now, I even use it if I have some back pain, and I use it to help
with swelling in my fingers (to help get my wedding and engagement ring on).
This
works better than anything for me to help put my rings on and off my fingers
if they are a little swollen for various reasons.
I
recommended this cream to my mother who also has plantar fasciitis, and she
said that it is starting to work for her too. I tried so many things for my
plantar fasciitis, and this was the thing that helped the quickest.
I am
so happy with this product, and would definitely recommend it to anybody..."

"...I've
had low back pain for 30 years and have swallowed a truckload of
Motrin/Ibuprofen over the years.
I
started using Penetrex about ten days ago and I am impressed with the
results. The cream is concentrated and a little goes a long way.
It
has a subtle minty aroma that no one else seems to notice. It absorbs well,
but gives you time to massage it in for a minute or two.
My
back pain hasn't miraculously vanished overnight, but I really do think
Penetrex is reducing my pain and stiffness. My Motrin use is down by 75%.
My
wife has started using it on her upper back with positive results as well.
She just left on a 2 month trip and I made sure she had an extra jar to last
her until she gets back.
Do
yourself a favor and give this stuff a try. I'm glad I did!..."

"...Tennis
is my favorite past time. Several years ago, I developed tennis elbow. It
was so severe that I could not even lift a cup. It took me out of the game
for a year and a half because I was unable to serve the ball without great
pain.
I
finally returned to the game two years ago. Almost immediately I began to
feel the onset of tennis elbow. I immediately took some precautionary
methods: changing the tension of my string, reducing the size of my grip,
wearing a tennis brace, and applying ice to my elbow every morning.
I
discovered Penetrex by reading reviews on Amazon. I love this product. I
apply it to my elbow before every match and feel absolutely no pain. It is
greaseless, odorless, and takes a very small amount.
I
wear contacts and was so pleased to discover that I could simply wash my
hands after applying and it did not leave any trace of my fingers.
I
have recommended Penetrex to many of my tennis friends and they all love it

Penetrex truly made the difference. I started using it for wrist, elbow, and
shoulder tendinitis. I noticed immediate relief upon application. The longer
lasting effects didn't take effect until I had finished the first jar.
For
all you skeptics out there, give it some time and it will work wonders.
Suffice it to say, I ordered my second jar immediately after finishing the
first. Try it for yourself, I bet you will be pleasantly surprised at its
efficacy..."

I was skeptical regarding the cream. I have been searching high and low for
something to relieve me of my tennis elbow. I tried all sort of things that
were mainly a waste of money. Marketing gimmicks!

I came upon this cream. I am now a believer. Between this cream in
combination with continued used of my Band-it, I am much relieved of tennis
elbow suffering. I haven't had to give up on playing tennis as I had
thought.

improvement. I don't know what ingredient is in this cream that did the job,

balm. And I've tried many. The others are like pretty wrapped presents, but
when one opens the box, it is empty. Not so with Penetrex, the box was
filled with delightful relief. Definitely money well spent. Thank you to the

"...well
folks, i have probably tried around 20 different topical pain relievers (otc,
speciality orders, homeopathic, out of the country nsaid cremes, veterinary
lotions like dmso-as well as mentholated, warming...).
i
would love to list them all so that it would save you some money on which
not to buy but i doubt that the review would go through. i have tried 4 from
amazon's site alone--that was around 86 bucks. so i can speak with personal
authority regarding this creme's effectiveness.
i
have chronic aches and pains of unknown origin other than age and work, and
my son
can't take any nsaid pain reliever due to sensitive stomach issues so i've
been on a mission to find pain relief alternatives for his aches and pains
as well as my own.
he
dislikes anything warming, cooling, smelly, or with an nsaid in it so the
search has been sort of a long process of elimination to learn all of the
things he can't tolerate and to find something that may help.
this
little jar has none of the negatives other than a very slight/light cool and
minty smell which dissipates quickly. honestly, even my kid thinks its ok-i
personally, think its pleasant, if it is at all noticable.
anyway, for me, this medicine is a godsend. it helps my elbow, knees, hip,
occasional sore hand. ...you get the picture. the only thing i couldn't tell
it worked much on was my feet bottoms and maybe deep hip pain.... still, it
is the best i've found to help these areas as they're just tough areas to
treat.
after finding my aches better, i returned to the penetrex store and bought
an additional 6 (better price in bulk). i have one by the bed, in my purse,
in my car, at work, and backup in the bathroom.
i
use it 1-2 times daily usually, but depending on how stiff or achey i am i
will use it either more frequently, or on more spots. a little goes a long
way- which is good because the jar is 2 ounces.
no
noticed negatives on how many spots you can use it on like with nsaid
lotions. i actually use fewer ibuprephen and tylenol pills now that i have
this, and find i sometimes forget to use the herbal anti-inflammatory pills
or glucosamine chrondrotin because i just don't hurt as much.
it
works well enough that i can put it on and go out and exercise
within minutes. i have to be a little conscious when doing so that i
actually have an underlying problem because i think i could overdo it
because it doesn't hurt after using penetrex.
my
son's issues are mostly related to tight neck muscles, tension headaches,
and migraines so this doesn't work as well for him but has still offered him
some relief. for him the search continues when it comes to these issues.
penetrex does help some when i rub it onto his neck and shoulder area and
i'm glad to have it as a go to solution for any other aches he may get.
i
don't usually write reviews, and certainly not long ones like this. i am
hoping that someone else who is trying to decide which lotion to buy will
see this and be able to save at least 200 bucks rather than trying them all
like i have.
there is only one other topical that i have found which comes close to being
as effective but it has the powerful cooling/burning sensation which this
one does not have. enough said..."

not the silver bullet but it is better than anything else I have tried and I
have tried many.
It
does not have a heavy medicated scent but rather a light peppermint. I would
use it again..."

"...I'm
sure I am headed for surgery for both of my hands and wrists, which are in
bad shape - so I don't expect Penetrex to cure me. However, it is a great
relief when I rub it on my wrists and fingers.
I
can feel the pain going away, and I get relief for awhile. The smell is
pleasant as well. I put the cream on before I use ice packs, and the cream
seems to make the ice work even more effectively.
I
highly recommend Penetrex..."

"...I
followed the instructions on the Penetrex jar. Miraculous results quick
relief wonderful anti-inflammatory creme.
I
have researched several remedies. Now I can stop looking. Penetrex is my
answer. I have a broken ankle with a loss of cartilage. I use Penetrex in
the morning lunch time and again before bedtime.
I do
not have the constant pain. I have stopped taking pain relievers. Pain pills
prescription or over the counter cause ulcers and rectal bleeding. Penetrex
does not have any negative side affects.
I
will continue to use Penetrex on my ankle area. I have always worked outside
and plan to continue being active. Penetrex will relieve the pain so I live
a normal life..."

"...My
mother got injured while chipping ice off the house (repetitive strain
injury) and her pain was quite extreme. We went to several doctors and every
last one threw heavy narcotics at the injury, all of which did very little
for the pain.
Some
quick searching I came across Penetrex, read the reviews, how it worked, and
decided to give it a shot.
She
applied the product 3-4 times a day for a solid week and sure enough she
started to get some relief. A few days after that she was only applying it
once or twice a day and now is down to only once before she does to bed and
it has helped a LOT.
So
while she allows her injury to heal up, the Penetrex has provided amazing
relief from the pain. We weren't all that convinced that a transdermal cream
would help all that much but to our surprise, it really has.
THANKS PENETREX!..."

"...I
was skeptical about this product. To me, miracle wonder cure-all claims
smack of suckers and the placebo effect. What I was looking for was
something like the new-to-the-U.S. (but common in Europe) prescription drug
Pennsaid.
I've
been running for 30 years, and so it's no surprise that my knees sometimes
hurt. My doctor did bilateral X-rays and gave me Pennsaid, which is a much
buzzed about -- Men's Health and NY Times to name two -- transdermal
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduced the inflammation
that rest and ice wasn't enough for.
The
huge advantages of a topical cream or liquid is that the drug passes through
the skin directly to just the areas that need the agent, rather than like
say ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) that has to go through the stomach and liver,
then bathe the whole body with their effects. Ibuprofen cream is available
in the UK and elsewhere, but not yet in the US. What I found was Penetrex.
The
active NSAID ingredient seems to be arnica, a herbal extract from the
sunflower family. Arnica contains helenalin, which is a sesquiterpene
lactone that has been a major ingredient in other anti-inflammatory
preparations.
There is real published research showing arnica works, although the data
suggest a different molecular mechanism from other nonsteroidal NSAIDs.
There are other ingredients, a varied collection including B6, Boswellia
Serrata and MSM. I have no idea if these really help.
After a bit more than a week my knees were feeling better. Penetrex is not a
pain reliever, there are no ingredients that would do that and it makes no
such claims, so the better function and feeling is due to the
anti-inflammatory properties.
Could it be placebo effect? Maybe. Could it be time? Maybe. But am I buying
another bottle to have ready when this one runs out? Yes.
The
cream is not sticky or gross, and has a slight pleasant peppermint smell
that is not noticeable after you put it on. Is it a miracle? Is it a
cure-all? No. No. But do I think it really helped? Yes. I hope you find this
review useful..."

"...I
first purchased CT Cream over 12 years ago when I was suffering with Carpal
Tunnel in both hands. Two Doctors suggested I change my job due to the
constant repetitive action I did. Changing jobs was not going to happen, so
I started searching.
This
product works. It helps tolerate aches and pain as it heals and also found
that it heals bruises much faster. When my young son hurts or aches, he asks
for the cream.
My
daughter is a fan of CT Cream also, she uses it for muscle aches and puts it
on her temples and the back of her neck when she has a headache.
I
needed to reorder and found "Penetrex" and decided to try it since it was
distributed by the same company, Biomax Health Products. I really like the
Penetrex, it penetrates into the skin without any greasy feeling.
I
don't like walking around smelling like medicine, Penetrex has a nice almost
yummy smell that goes away in a few minutes after applying. This product is
absolutely wonderful!
I
have shared both products with my friends and family. My friend recently had
an IV in her hand which left it looking badly bruised due to bleeding under
the skin.
She
used Penetrex on it and it was healed and totally gone in less than a week.
She also found her arthritis was more manageable. Her husband has bad
headaches, she rubbed some Penetrex on his neck and shoulders and asked him
a little later how his headache was...he was amazed, it was gone. I gave my
jar of Penetrex to them.
As
far as both products goes, I find the Penetrex like an upgrade to the CT
Cream. I will be sharing a jar of Penetrex with my daughter, her CT Cream is
almost gone..."

have now purchased this product for the second time and my family and I have
been very pleased with it.
I
use Penetrex to ease the pain and swelling caused by gout. My wife uses to
help with complications of arthritis. At the first sign of a gout attack, I
apply Penetrex fairly liberally and it helps to ease the pain and
discomfort.
The
product does work for us and we will continue to purchase it. I do recommend
it without hesitation..."

"...I
was searching for a product I have used in the past - a no-scent "pain
relief" cream that I had found at a marathon Race Expo.
However, because I wasn't very impressed with its effectiveness, I thought
maybe I should try something else. And I CANNOT keep popping NSAID pills!
The
word "anti inflammatory" caught my attention with PENETREX, so I ordered
some. My aching knees and hips needed help Fast.
Well, Wow! PENETREX GAVE ME IMMEDIATE RELIEF! I quickly bought more and
extras to give to a friend doing her first Marathon. This product has even
brought more romance to my own love life---
My
husband just melts when I rub his aching shoulders with this cream (he's
refinishing the basement himself.) I would highly recommend this cream to
others and expect to be a customer for life..."

"...Somehow
I ended up with tennis elbow (maybe from tensing my arm while playing Angry
Birds on my ipod day after day?)
I
tried wearing a brace, as my doctor suggested. Because I have an ulcer and
acid reflux, taking ibuprofen was not a good idea. The pain continued for
about 8 months and I was so tired and frustrated with an arm that always
ached and felt weak.
I
found that a combination of exercise and Penetrex did the trick to improve
my arm's strength and reduce the soreness! I learned the Tyler twist
exercise (see Youtube), using an excercise bar.
After each set of 15 stretches 3 times a day, I massaged my arm with
Penetrex. Within 4 days or so, I saw definite improvement. After several
weeks my arm was almost back to normal.
I
like that I can apply Penetrex at work if needed and the smell is not
noticeable. It feels comforting, not hot like some of the drugstore pain
relievers.
I
keep the Penetrex on my nightstand and give my arm a quick "tune-up" each
night with a set of exercises and a nice massage.
So
far so good; this routine is keeping my arm from going back to the pain and
weakness. (And I've quit playing Angry Birds on my ipod forever!)..."

"...I
bought this cream in hopes of diminishing the pain my wife has in her elbow
and I in my right foot.
My
wife had her elbow area swollen due to her job, she tried all sorts of
ointments to no avail. I have my feet injured due to Military service. They
would hurt constantly, the feeling was as if my feet were going to burst and
at times I would limp due to the pain.
Custom insoles, cream and ice wouldn't work. In my bottom right foot, in
front of the heel I had a numbing feeling of which the VA had taken X-rays
and said they couldn't see anything wrong.
The
Podiatrist there suggested surgery and that was questionable for the relief
of pain. I said NO and continued searching for other alternatives.
I
bought Penetrex for my wife and after three weeks of using the cream, the
swelling has gone down considerably in her elbow, the pain she had before
using Penetrex has diminished considerably.
I
started to use Penetrex on my feet, I couldn't believe the pain had
diminished about 85%. All I know is this product has worked for both of us,
we hope this helps you..."

"...I
have had Diabetic Neuropathy in both legs, for years. As a Registered Nurse,
I've researched the current available medications prescribed for this
condition and my Doctor has tried me on all of them, none of which relieved
the extreme pain from this condition.
Others who have this condition would tell you it impacts all aspects of your
life, including getting a good night of uninterrupted sleep, the inability
to focus at work due to the pain and how it negatively affects your social
life because the pain prohibits us from going places.
When
I saw this product I almost didn't buy it, thinking that surely if it did
work Doctors would be recommending it to all their patients who have
neuropathy but, thankfully, I decided to try a jar.
I
received it very rapidly, yesterday and wish I could describe my jubilant
feeling of relieve about 5 minutes after I first applied the cream to both
legs.
I
know that everyone has different reactions to a medication, but I sincerely
mean it when I tell you that literally five minutes after I applied it, I
could actually feel the pain ebbing slowly away.
Ten
minutes later I had absolutely no pain. I couldn't believe it. I still can't
believe it but I am here to tell you that if you're considering buying this,
buy it now.
I am
applying it 4 times a day as suggested then will cut back slowly to one
application a day. I fully intend to take this jar and information about the
product's ingredients I researched on the internet and give those to my
family Doctor and encourage him to recommend all his patients try it for
pain relief.
In
this day and age, most Doctors refuse to prescribe controlled opiate
medications for pain relief and at best, they only relieve the pain for a
limited time, slowly causing your body to build up a tolerance for the
medication and forcing you to go to a higher dosage, which is not healthy
for you.
This
is the answer to the many people who need pain relief. Truthfully I'm not
sure this jar would last for weeks and I'm estimating that mine will last
for perhaps, 10 more days at the rate I am going to apply it daily, so I
plan to order more jars of it today before everyone discovers it and there
might be a shortage of it on the market soon.
It
will not stain your clothing or bedding nor does it feel 'greasy' after
applied. There is absolutely no odor so you can wear it to work and social
occasions and continue being pain free.
In
my case, it lasts much longer than I thought and I'd venture a guess it
would last probably 8 hours after application so while 4 applications a day
isn't really necessary I still will follow the directions and gradually
taper it down.
As a
health care professional, I recommend you try this product because I have
full faith that it will work for the majority of those who use it.
It's
been a Godsend in my life and last night I slept all night long, not having
the need to get up because of any pain. There simply was no pain.
Best
product to come onto the market and thankfully you don't even need a written
prescription to buy it. Buy it today..."

"...I
played too much tennis and ended up with tennis elbow. At one point, it's so
painful that I couldn't stretch my forearm, let alone lifting things.
I
found this in Amazon and decided to give it a try (along with a few other
suggested exercise methods, like the rubber bar).
So
far, the pain is not 100% gone, but definitely eased significantly. I can
actually resume my tennis games now (of course I am using this thing before
and after hitting the balls)..."

"...I
have been using Penetrex for over a week now. The seller shipped the product
to an APO address and arrived fairly quickly.
As a
soldier I have a physically demanding job and we tear our bodies up fairly
quickly. I currently have a bad case of tennis elbow from training and
weightlifting on my left arm.
I
used to use Icy-Hot on it and it eventually lost its effects and eventually
started irritating my skin. Icy-hot seemed to not do much about the symptoms
only mask the pain.
I
now believe that i may have torn a ligament on my elbow and whenever i
agitate it with training or even lifting something simple it flares up
again. Every morning I would wake up with pain and stiffness in my elbow as
well.
After using Penetrex, the symptoms started to go away for the most part.
Initially, I was expecting the product to be a variant of icy-hot but wanted
to try it anyways based on the reviews here.
After 2 or 3 days of use I will wake up with very minimal pain in my elbow.
Although some pain is still there (i think there's more permanent damage
there) its definitely way less pain that I initially had before using the
product.
I
also noticed that if i put a compression wrap after using the product it
works even better. So now i use it 2 times a day and wrap my elbow with a
compression wrap if pain flares up, otherwise Penetrex is all I use.
I
highly recommend this to anyone with pain in their elbow from either heavy
lifting or your body is torn to hell from sports or the military!..."

were better in a few days. now not using it as often, but can go most of the
weekend without using it and my inflammation seems so much better.
not
going to stop using it but WOW> i can't believe after all that pain, all of
those braces, two Rx's of prednisone, and this is what worked. thanks so

tried to lift objects.
It's
now been 3 weeks and while the pain is still present, my range of movement
is not nearly as limited as it was before.
I
have recommended Penetrex to all of my friends since I cannot believe how
incredible a non-prescription ointment could work. The fact that it is not
greasy or pungent is also a nice bonus..."

"...I
regularly train with weights and do pull-ups and push ups. One day I
experienced severe elbow pain and it was diagnosed as tennis elbow.
It
was so painful I could barely squeeze toothpaste from the tube. I try not to
overdo the pain medications and after reading the reviews, I reluctantly
ordered Penetrex.
I
was skeptical, because I had tried topical ointments before for tennis
elbow, and nothing helped. I just had to wait, rest, ice, wait, rest, and
take oral anti-inflammatories.
The
package with Penetrex came, and I skeptically tried the ointment and to my
surprise the pain dissipated. My movement was easier and pain was noticeably
relieved.
Please follow the directions Penetrex recommends. Penetrex is especially
helpful if you don't have many opportunities to decrease activity.
Penetrex is a great ointment and I am so happy that I found this transdermal
anti-inflammatory treatment.
SUPERB! I am lifting as I try to heal this injury and Penetrex is helping..."

"...What
can I say..I LOVE this product! I have entered into that wonderful thing
called menopause and along with the many symptoms it brings, it has also
brought me a whole lot of pain in each joint in my fingers on both hands,
both wrists, and one elbow.
I am
on a prescription drug that used to take care of all the arthritic joint
pains pretty much until I entered into menopause, so I was looking for some
kind of relief.
Sometimes the pain will get so bad that that is all I can focus on. In
searching for anything that could possibly give me some relief I came upon
this wonderful product Penetrex at Amazon.com, and after reading a lot of
the reviews I decided I had to purchase it.
OMG,
it's just what the doctor ordered...except he didn't! I used it according to
the directions and slowly but surely the pain diminished.
It
didn't happen overnight, for me at least, but in doing just as the
directions instructed, it did in fact take the pain away.
I
have to say, I really noticed it starting to help somewhat just after using
it the first day. After the first week to 10 days, I started using it less
because I would forget to do it, and that was because there wasn't the awful
pain there to remind me.
Anyway, I stopped using it for a little while but used it when I'd feel a
flare, and within a short time the pain starts diminishing.
How
much you use it after the first 10 days of 3-4 times per day is entirely up
to you and your pain, everyone's issues are different.
There is a "very slight" smell to it, but really not offensive like some
others are, and after you put it on it goes away almost immediately, so
DON'T let that stop you from trying it.
I
'HIGHLY' recommend this product because it does what it says it will do, and
how many products can you say that about these days? Give it a try!..."

am currently on my third jar of Penetrex and it took me till not having it
to notice that it was definitely working.
I am
a track and field athlete and I do a lot of jumping and last year developed
a severe case of medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints).
Penetrex does not eliminate the pain completely. It is most effective while
resting.
I am
currently in a rehabilitation process, again, for the third time and it is
very noticeable that this product is dramatically enhancing the recovery
time.
Follow the directions by applying three times a day and in a few days you
will notice a dramatic change.
I
also use a Zensah leg sleeve which helps a lot as well! The delivery time is
probably the best I have dealt with, it always arrives faster than I expect

"...Over
the years I have developed shoulder, elbow and wrist pain from all the years
of athletics and physical activity. Age has much to do with this.
After several years of inactivity, I decided to start working out again. My
shoulder, elbow and wrist hurt during weight lifting more than in the past.
I
went online to search for shoulder, elbow and wrist supports. The Penetrex
ad jumped into my view so I took the time to read about it. Frankly, I was
skeptical but the price for one jar was reasonable so I decided to give it a
try.
I'm
used to packing on some form of analgesic ointment so I was surprised when I
applied the Penetrex. No heat. I felt nothing. The instructions tell you to
apply several times a day and to rub it in well. I did so.
I'll
be darn, as I continued to lift, my pain diminished. I don't know how but it
actually worked. Before my initial jar of Penetrex ran out I ordered 4 more.
I
delayed writing my review until I was totally convinced it was not some
fluke. Well............I work out every day and the pain is completely
manageable. It's not gone but greatly reduced.
I
have a partially torn rotator cuff. I'm completely satisfied and suggest to
anyone with rotator cuff injury, tennis elbow and/or wrist pain to give
Penetrex a try. It may help you!..."

Penetrex on my "trigger thumb" has helped reduce the swelling, pain and
triggering that occurs when the tendon on the inner side of my thumb becomes
inflamed.
I
rub the cream in at the site of the swelling, near the base of the thumb,
several times per day. It has helped even more than the physical therapy I
had for a number of weeks.
The
condition does tend to recur at times when I do something that stresses the
thumb joint. But when I feel pain, I start using Penetrex again and it
provides fairly quick relief.
I
highly recommend Penetrex and plan to try it on some of my other aches and
pains..."

"...I
have been working at the molecular genetics department for 20 yrs now.
Repetitive motion injury is quite common in my field of work because of
pipetting motion day in and out.
Over the past year, I tried both physical therapy and acupuncture to get
relief from the tingling and numbness of my fingers and the elbow pain as
well.
After many such therapy (about 24 visits), the tingling and numbness have
dissipated somewhat, but the elbow pain remains. The doctor said that my
tennis elbow needed to be looked at again and I have to go through another
round of physical therapy recently.
I
have had three cortisone injections in my elbow thus far and just had
temporary relief. I found out about penetrex on the amazon web site and
decided to give it a try.
Thus far, the pain is not as intense and it is not waking me up at night
anymore. It is my last resort because the doctor is recommending surgery on
my poor elbow.
I
can't say that the pain is totally gone, but it is not as constant as
before. I will definitely continue using this product..."

have tried. It also helps to relieve pain in my hands & other joints caused
by an inflammatory type of arthritis..."

"...My
Carpel tunnel syndrome started 3 years back and was struggling with it.
Because of regular golf and tennis playing I also developed Tennis or Golfer
Tendonitis.
It
was miserable and had terrible pain (Like electric shock) when i was trying
to swing it. As usual i relied on pain killer tablets which was temporary
and also took a shot.
I
was constantly looking out for something that would heal elbow pain. After
doing some research I came across this product. After reading the reviews I
decided to order one, but was skeptical.
It
really saved my golfing life. Within a week I could find a difference. The
product really works. I used it for a while and i can confidently recommend
this product to anyone having tendonitis problem.
So, if you are thinking to try it out, then you should. I bet u will like it..."

"...Hello! Just wanted to share my
experience with your product. Several years ago I developed trigger finger
on my left thumb -- which was very painful. More painful than the carpal
tunnel on my hands. Received 2 cortisone shots which did the trick.
Then later, developed wrist tendinitis -
DeQuervain's Tendinitis- on my left wrist. Thought the doctor would give me
a cortizone shot to relieve the pain like with the trigger finger. However,
this time doctors did nothing to relieve the pain.
I then discovered the CT cream on-line and
placed an order. After using CT Cream for about a month -- the pain in my
left wrist was decreasing. After 2 months -- the pain was gone! No shots --
just the CT cream and pain was gone! I was completely impressed with the CT
Cream.
Last year I developed trigger finger again
but on my right thumb. I tried the CT Cream again but this time there was no
improvement. I did not want to go to the doctor as I knew they would not do
anything for the pain.
I then learned that there was a new product -
Penetrex. Used Penetrex and the trigger finger pain was gone in about a
month! I now use Penetrex for my carpal tunnel and noticed improvement from
the tingling/numbness.
Thank you for letting me share my experience
-- Penetrex is great!

"...I bought this product for my boyfriend who has been having terrible pain
in his elbow. He has been using it for about 3 weeks and says the elbow is
not hurting nearly as much and he hasn't had as much trouble lifting things
with his arm.
He
is a painter and had a difficult time lifting a paint can before using the
product. He has been using it 3-4x daily and has also been icing the elbow
at least once/day using the Cold-one elbow brace.
We
are very encouraged by his progress! I would recommend this product for
anyone with muscle or tendon pain...he has bad wrist pain, too, and says
this has helped with that, also..."

"...I
have had severe plantar fasciitis for over a year now and one thing I have
been told several times to do by my podiatrist is to take anti-inflammatory
medicines.
I
worried about the harmful affects it could have on my stomach, so I began
searching for a transdermal anti-inflammatory product to use instead. It was
very exciting to find this product and all of the great reviews with it!
I
decided to try it, especially with the money back guarantee. So far I am
loving the product and it's much better than other products I found at the
drug store.
Since plantar fasciitis takes a long time to treat, I recently placed an
order for two more jars of Penetrex. I am looking forward to using these!..."

"...I bought this cream in an effort to relieve the pain my boyfriend was
experiencing with Sciatica. We couldn't afford the cortisone shots so I was
looking for an alternative.
After using Penetrex for a few days, we noticed that he was able to sleep
through the night and had a much easier time sitting up for long periods of
time without having to readjust.
I
recently dislocated my knee and I wanted to try and not take anymore
ibuprofen or Aleve. I definitely experienced increased mobility and
flexibility in the tendons and ligaments behind my knee and it definitely
decreased the swelling around my knee cap.
I
still have some pain but I definitely have relied on Penetrex as a
replacement to pain killers. for my pain management. I also bought some for
my mom and she's experienced reduced neck pain. I would recommend this to
others..."

"...this product has helped me tremendously. first off, the company has
excellent customer service, the product arrived very quickly, which is a
plus because when you have an injury you are of course anxious to get it
treated.
they also follow up to find out if the product has helped you which was a
huge plus for me. i have tendonitis from piano performance a repetitive
injury from practicing difficult passages hours at a time.
i
have used different therapy, but when i read the ingredients one of which is
boswellia, which is what i have been taking internally as well, i decided to
give it a try.
massaging the cream in several times a day has been really helpful, i can
feel the swelling has gone down and i will continue to use it..."

"...I've
tried a variety of topical pain relievers and anti-inflammatory agents for
tennis elbow, but nothing compares to Penetrex!
Upon rubbing in the cream, I feel pain relief within moments. In addition, I
don't have to worry about a strong menthyl odor when I go to work or I'm out
in public.
Pain relief without the odor. Penetrex makes the difference for me..."

"...I've
ordered Penetrex twice, and during both periods, I've always been satisfied
with this product.
I'm training as an MMA fighter, and because of this, I've had injuries
inside & outside of training. Two of which were shin splints, and knee
tendinitis.
I
apply Penetrex to my shins and my knees everyday, and ever since doing this,
I noticed that my shin splint injury has healed 80% and my daily knee
tendinitis pain has decreased.
This anti-inflammatory is really great before or after a workout, and if
you're feeling pain, or if you have one of the injuries labeled on the
container, I would definitely recommend buying this!
I
was shocked when it healed up my shin. I've used ibuprofen and heat/ice
combos, but none of those had as much of a effect as Penetrex had!..."

"...I'm
currently suffering from a rather debilitating case of tendinitis or tennis
elbow. I'm off of any activity for 6 weeks to let my arm heal, and in a
great deal of pain.
I
have tried arnica from the health food store and Traumeal, but NOTHING gets
to the pain as quickly as Penetrex.
Once I apply this (as I do three times a day), in about five minutes my pain
level decreases and I have more flexibility in my arm.
I
have found this more effective than even prescription strength Naproxen. I'm
now recommending this to every one I run into with tennis elbow or other
aches and pains..."
