Aspercreme Heat Pain Relieving Gel, 2.5 Ounce

I'm so very sad to say that my Dad has stage 4 Cancer, and it is all in my Dad's spine, and his ribs. My Mom rubs this on him for pain relief, and it really helps my Dad an awful lot.

My friend recommended this and uses it regularly. She told me it has helped her with the dull ache she gets at night in her knees.

This work really good if you have pain in back or shoulder

We have been using Aspercream for some times now, it is the best of all for temporary relief of joint pain.

Bought two tubes. The sponge applicator on the 1st tube fell off after about 2 uses, and could not be reattached without glue, so threw 1st tube away. After using the 2nd tube a few times on the small of my back and knees before using tred mill. When sweating on tred mill, noticed slight burning sensation on back. Then when showering, warm water caused more burning sensation and skin redness on back. At bedtime, I applied to front and side (but not back) of knees before sleeping and woke-up with strong burning sensation on the BACK of my knees. Apparently, I had crossed my legs while sleeping and the Aspercreme had rubbed onto the sensitive skin on the back of both knees. This is effective to relieve minor aches and pains, but the burning side effects cause me to look for something else. I will probably go back to regular Aspercreme that does not cause any sensations at all, or something in a spray can (so sponge won't fall off). I'll definitely avoid using anything with HEAT in the name.
