This review is from: Penetrex Pain Relief Cream [4 Oz] :: Patent-Pending Therapy & 1st Choice for Sufferers of Tennis Elbow, Tendonitis, Bursitis, Knee, Shoulder Pain, Neuropathy, Shin Splints, Sore Muscles & Joints, etc (Health and Beauty)

I bought this hoping to get some relief from neropathy pain in my left foot. It has been driving me crazy. Gabapentin perscribed by the doctor wasn’t getting it done. I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a try. Several other creams/ointments I’ve tried haven’t even touched it. So, Day 1 – Already noticing quite a bit of relief. This stuff really seems to be doing the trick. If this keeps up I will be purchasing this on a regular basis. It’s worth every penny!!! I’ll add an update in a couple of weeks.

***UPDATE*** I’ve been using Penetrex for several months now. I love it. It will knock down neuropathy pain when nothing else seems to help. This has become a regular purchase for me. I’ll gladly pay the $35 for the 4oz jar. Follow the directions. After using it several times a day as directed you can really cut back to ‘as needed’. It continues to be a great source of relief. I have found, like one other reviewer, that a couple drops of lavender oil added with this really helps when the pain is pretty extreme.

It works and takes away pain, inflammation and tightness., March 4, 2016

I bought this after not being able to justify paying hundreds of dollars for a similar prescription cream. My expectations were very high and it has met every single expectation that I have had for this cream.

I’m in my late 20’s and had back, knee and ankle inflammation that caused much pain and left me unable to do daily tasks some days. This inflammation cream really has made a difference in my life. It brings down the muscle tightness, inflammation in all areas and best of all the PAIN is reduced. This cream is an absolute miracle and will never look elsewhere, it does exactly what it says it will.

PROS:
I use it 3-4 times a day and the 4oz container lasts minimum of three weeks.
Works within seconds after applying.
Allow just 2-3 minutes to dry and it won’t stain your clothes.
IT WORKS! IT WORKS! Penetrex is a wonderful and powerful cream.

CONS:
None, this is an amazing product that I will continue to use for as long as I need it.

it does not cover up the pain like other menthol-oriented ointments, April 1, 2015

Hey guys, ladies, sufferers of deep chronic inflammation and arthritic pain. I’m 21 years of age and have been stuck in this mess for probably 9 years of my life. Constant pain, inflammation, muscle spasm, insomnia, everything..
This stuff, Penetrex, is a blessing. “It is a medicine, not magic” someone said in another review, they are correct. This makes the inflammation GO AWAY overtime, it does not cover up the pain like other menthol-oriented ointments..
If you have deep arthritic pain/burning muscles. this stuff is great! Can’t go a day without it at this point. My neck/traps/back get so hot from inflammation, and ice bag or this seems to be the only thing that brings me back.
Expensive true. Cost is worth it to me. I’d sell my truck for more a this sh*t:)

It is slow to work, don’t expect anything too quick. At first I thought maybe it didn’t work, but if you apply it how they tell you to (or your money back) You will likely notice a nice difference within the first week. Muscle cramps and such I don’t know about, but an arthritic type burning,deep,chronic pain… doooo it. It’s worth a shot, life is too short to be miserable.

PS – if you are seeing a Chiro for spine oriented pain, make sure you are going to a legit one. There are quack-f***** out there that will you keep you with them, knowing they can’t further help you for your money. Basically if someone begins adjusting your back without taking an X-Ray, I would say bail on em’ (My own long, sad, drawn-out experience). There are people that can help, there is always hope.
If you are suffering from a disease/illness, it is up to you to heal..doctors, chiropractors, energy healers, can assist you. But it is ultimately up to you. You need to participate in your own rescue. Whether it means Yoga twice a day or physical therapy 3, If you are constantly stuck asking “am I going to make it?” “am I going to heal?” if you tell yourself No, you are right. If you tell yourself Yes, you are right. You need to take the actions, and change the mind-set.
Have faith everyone, Lord bless.
