I suffer some sever back pain. I attend physical therapy, chiropractors, and pain management. I get trigger point injections, I use electrical stimulation, acupuncture, and an infinite amount of pills, creams, and patches. Through all of that, BioFreeze gives me pretty decent and quick relief. The biggest negative I have at all is the strong, menthol smell. Also, compared to other pain relieving gels, it requires quite a bit of product to cover surface area. If you can get past the smell and the constant reapplying, the deep and lasting pain relief is really good. It works better than than my prescription lidocaine ointment and lasts longer. The only product I can compare BioFreeze to is Tiger Balm. BioFreeze works quite well, but I personally prefer Tiger Balm a bit better. They both smell poorly, but they both work really nicely. I find that Tiger Balm lasts slightly longer than BioFreeze (on my body and in the jar), however BioFreeze rubs in more and leaves less of a greasy texture, though you need more of it. Overall BioFreeze is a good product, and I definitely recommend it to anyone with any chronic pain or for temporary soreness or sprainsbut Tiger Balm is also worth a try.
i use it before i workout and afterward and it seems to cut down on the discomfort. biofreeze isn't greasy and it has just a faint scent, so it's not offensive. i've used it with long sleeve workout shirts and it doesn't seem to discolor or ruin my clothes either. topically, it feels cool when you rub it into your muscle/joint and then eventually fades away.
i reapply during the day when my elbow acts up.Our family, spouse, daughter and myself, have found this product most effective if applied according to directions. We have used variations of the product and have found them almost equally similar. The most effective was the rub-on gel in the tube.
