Pain cream

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Abilene, TX

So I use this pain cream called pain-a-trate. I love it but you can only order it off one site and I'm not a member anymore. I don't like icy hot. I need something to just help ease the pain when the medicine isn't enough and while I'm at work.

Any suggestions?
I like more natural products.

Members shared numerous recommendations for pain relief creams as alternatives to pain-a-trate, with the most frequently mentioned options being Biofreeze (available through chiropractors and some retailers), Aspercreme with lidocaine, Stopain spray (sold at CVS and praised for working in seconds), and Sombra (made with capsaicin peppers). Several members offered practical shopping tips, including checking eBay for pain-a-trate from specific sellers, exploring Amazon for products like Sombra and Biofreeze, finding affordable options at Walmart and Kroger, and asking doctors about prescription lidocaine patches or ointment. A recurring theme was the importance of washing hands thoroughly after application, using small amounts since these products are potent, and considering natural ingredients like arnica, comfrey, lavender, and essential oils for those preferring more natural solutions.

Sombra and Biofreeze are my two favorites but be careful to wash your hands thoroughly after each use. A little of these can go a long way too, both can be found on Amazon.com. So bra is made with Capsacian peppers, not too sure what Biofreeze is made from but it's a cooling gel. Good luck,

I use Stopain. You can get it at CVS. It's a miracle spray. It stops pain in 10 seconds (Literally).
