Has anyone used this for Arthritic hand/finger joint pain? Did it give any relief?

I have to disagree with the other guitarist. it helps me for sure in my right hand, relieving finger and wrist joint pain, (the left hand is fine). my condition isn't severe though, so perhaps there's the difference ??? also it did take a few applications before 'kicking in'. anyway at $20 a shot i'm sure not going to be imagining its properties and i'm ordering my third jar now.

I have used this product for two weeks on my hands. I sleep with arthritis compression gloves (also available on Amazon). It took about a week for it to work but WOW! I used to have such sore hands due to arthritis I wanted to cry. Now it's GONE. I simply cannot believe it. Use the combination of the two (gloves and cream) but apply the cream a few times a day for the first week. Trust me, this works.

I have arthritis that limits guitar playing. This product is a fake. The company has bought up a large number of fake web sites so that when you google "Penetrex scam" or "tennis elbow", "Hand pain" and a great deal of others, it links to purchasing the product. This highlights the need for fake websites. The product is a scam and has no analgesic effect other than massage, itself.

I have had cripling arthritis in my hands that make it almost impossible to work on a computer for the last 12 years. This product really helps me a lot! I applied it 2x a day, one time being at night with compression gloves. Within a few days I strted to have a lot of relief, and found I only needed to apply it once a night, then every few days after that. I sometimes feel so much better, I forget to apply it, which resulted in a relapse. So it seems to be a cumulative effect.

I bought this specifically for relief of diabetic neuropathy for feet & legs, but found that in using my hands to rub it in, it actually relieved the pain I was experiencing in my finger joints. Hope this helps.

Similar to Rose Ann's experience above...I have severe osteo arthritis pain in my right hip and also rheumatoid arthritis in my right fingers. (I'm a 76 yr old retired golf professional.) I'm able to personally apply the Penetrex to my hip comfortably, but while I'm awaiting relief from the hip pain I've noticed the pain in my right hand and fingers has been greatly reduced. This cannot be attributed to a placebo because I wasn't even thinking about what was happening in my right finger joints when I was applying the Penetrex to my hip! Go for it!

I think yes. It may help you. In my experience i eliminate some strong lines and dark spots in my neck. What i have to add that it is strong quemical that produce some pain specially applied in face, but I feel no pain when I applied in my hands.

I have found that it does. However it may depend on the type of muscle injury you may have. I use it a lot for my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. Over all I would recommend it for almost all types of muscle pain,

well it depends on which part of the wrist is bothering you. I had pain on the side of my little finger and I could not get past 50 when i did the weight bearing test. I started using this for about a month. Has the pain gone away completely? No but i can tell it is coming down and I can play tennis pain free now. Ofcourse i changed a few things on my tennis game too. But i think WW has helped me and would recommend it.

It's great for knee pain especially if its related to the joints or muscles. Our homeopath in England recommended always aking it with Arnica 6X tablets for physical issues

Yes, I use it everyday on my hands for arthritis. Sometimes it stings, just put lotion over it. You can dilute it down with sterile water, also. You can buy it in ceam form with aloe added.

As Jeanette B said, I don't think this is a cure anymore than oxycodone is a "cure", but it does bring relief. I have carpal tunnel flair-ups and lower back spasms from time to time and this stuff provides temporary relief.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

I'm sorry, but I do not have info re:clinical trials, but I can say it has been working for me for about a year. The arthritis is not cured, but I have a lot less pain in my hands, and it certainly has not gotten any worse.

I use it for muscle pains. Just rub some into the skin where the pain is. BOOM! Works great.

YES! Something in it is really helping me. My knee pain is gone and they used to ache all the time. I took chondroitin and glucosamine, which is what my orthopedics doctors recommended, for years and it does nothing. It won't hurt to try it.

I think it works a little better for joints. A friend of mine with arthritis got good relief. Dilute 1:1 with oil and rub directly on joint area. Use it 2-3 times a day if necessary.

If you have any type of wrist or hand pain or stiffness use this product! I use it for lifting weightsand even doing yardwork. Ive had carpal tunnel for 25 years, this helps a lot!

I don't know. It seems to help my arthritis in my wrist & thumb when nothing else worked.

If it is an inflammation then I think it should help to some extent because this is an anti - inflammatory ointment. If it doesn't, the manufacturer offers a money back guarantee. I hope it will help you if you decide to get it. Best Wishes!

I have not really noticed any joint pain relief. I have worn out knees. I use this for bone density. I take two of these every morning, and another calcium supplement at night that doesn't have the joint stuff.

It does work on joint pain. My chiropractor recommended it for my sacroiliac pain and it definitely helps.
