I use both Bengay type creams and icy cool ones, and alternate them. I don't use anything with capsasin it irritates my skin and burns it right off. Don't get them near your eyes, even the fumes may irritate, but that said putting it on before bed does help the muscles to relax, and increase blood flow to areas, like neck and back of head, it even helps with headaches.
Those heat patches work really well too, especially if you need to be out and about cuz they work for 12 hours and Don't smell.

Thanks for the advice Nan!

Does anyone use Tiger's Balm? I keep hearing the name but I would like to know more about it before I buy it?

my grandpa uses aspercream and says it works better for him:)

I forgot about Aspercream. I will have to try that! Thanks Gals!!!

I use Melaleuca Pain-a-trate. Works well and doesnt have that nasty smell like ben gay. Aspercream smells good too but never helped at all for me.

Where do you find Melaleuca pain-a-trate? Can you buy it at Wal-mart 0r K-mart? I hope it's not too expensive!

I want to be straightforward and say I market the Melaleuca products and can help you decide if you want to try painatrate. It is very good stuff. They have many products that are helpful for immune system problems as well. I'd be happy to send you a sample if you are serious about trying the product. My email is wahm1@hrac.biz.

There is a product called BioFreeze. Works really good for joints and muscle pain. The best product ever is Vasaline Intensive care "smooth feet" I think they discontinued it though. It would make you feel like a new person.
