For joint pain temporary releif I use Salonpas. I rarely need muscle pain relief. Suddenly I see a lot of coupons suddenly for a product called "Pain Bloc". Might give it a ty.

I have osteoarthritis in some of my fingers that affects the second joints (counting down from the tip of my fingers). Sometimes my hands hurt like a bear, but usually not. The really annoying thing is that once a knuckle gets affected it swells permanently, meaning my rings no longer fit and that I lose range of motion so that finger will no longer curl all the way when I make a fist.
I saw a rheumatologist who ruled out RA and said there's nothing the medical community can do to help. The cartilage in aging joints wear out. Not what I was hoping to hear.
CBD balm doesn't seem to help. Naproxen helps ease the pain but can't prevent yet another joint from going south. Is anyone else dealing with this?
Ditto for muscle painAdvil
I only use Bengay when I go to Denny's, so I smell like the rest of the crowd....I use Bengay most of the time, and an occasional Naproxen Sodium (generic Aleve) pill, after Supper, if I've done a full days outdoor/yard work.

I purchased Pain Bloc as I had a coupon. A word, though. It worked, but I think there is capsasin in it. Makes the area I used it on very burny, and as for getting it in your eyes...WOW. So use it VERY sparingly if you try it. I found SalonPas did nothing. Anything with Lidocaine seems to help. And a friend suggested Blue Emu brand, though I have yet to try it,/
I can't take anything by mouth because of a small ulcer I have but I use two heating pads and sandwich my knees in between.
