"Used for hand osteoarthritis pain and it did absolutely nothing. Also tried using for my neck and back pain and it provides ZERO relief. Mineral ice, Ben Gay and ice packs work much better."

"This is expensive for the little pain relief that is provides. For as much as you hafe to use this should be in a big pump bottle for that price. This is a rip off."
