All of these menthol or methyl salicylate creams or rubs are very similar in their effectiveness - not very good. My experience is that what makes a pain exceptional is the addition of certain herbs in sufficient concentration, a lot more than found in Homeopathic creams which are no better than mediocre in helping pain or worse. Try Arnica if not allergic to herbs or flowers.
