I have been living with my heating pad. I did a search last night and found biofreeze on several websites. Cheapest was ebay.
Anyone use biofreeze and does it really work? What type of heating pads do u use and where do u purchase a good heating pad other than a store like walmart? Is there anything similar to biofreeze that helps with the tight spots and spasms? i use icyhot and the bengay type patches u can buy at walmart? Looking for anything that will work to help ease some of this pain i cant get rid of? none of my meds are touching my pain so i havent been taking any of my breakthru meds, they are not touching my pain to help relieve it. Thank u Posted on 01/30/08, 08:01 pm |

Bio freeze foes work, be sure to wash your hands really good after you apply it. After a while I had a tolerance to it and ut didn't seem to working very well. Now I use joint gel roll on, it does help me with my pain and since it is in a roll on, I don't get any on my hands.

It works. One of my physical therapist turned me onto it! Good stuff! But yeah, be sure and wash your hands. I got the roll on and it is just so much easier to deal with.
Gentle hugs and healing prayers...

if you have a PT clinic you go to, they can give you samples of the biofreeze. i don't like icyhot, it hurts when i use it. the biofreeze is nice, but i'm not sure if i'm going to buy any or not. i'll decide once i use the rest of the samples i have.
i don't actually have a heating pad. i have socks filled with rice that i microwave. they work nicely for my neck, which is a hard spot to put a heating pad.

I use a regular old heating pad from WalMart. Moist heat penetrates deeper than dry heat. You can use a wet washcloth or some pads come with foam pieces to do wet. My old MT used alternating ice (first) because it goes deeper than heat. Then she massaged. Then heat. I don't like the patches. For a product like that I like Tei Fu massage lotion. It smells like BenGay, but it has something else in there that works better for me. I also have a Homedics Infra-Tech Ultra Deluxe Infarared Massager that I sometimes use. It works pretty deep, but I don't like it over the spine in the vibrate mode.

if you can handle hot tingling burn type feeling capzacian cream or patches..works wonders, but some people very sensitive to it..it has derivitives of hot pepeers in it but gosh it helps dont use heating pad with it..and if you try the cream wear gloves and or wash hands several times really good, but it helps the really bad sapsms.

Love the BioFreeze roll-on for times when I can't use my oversize heating pad.
If you're having trouble with breakthrough pain, ask your doc about Lidoderm patches, those work great for me.

I don't know about the biofreeze but as far as a heating pad(zeller sells a pad that forms to your back or any body part) but my best friend is the electric blanket it heats your whole body it hurts at first but after it is heaven
