I have arthritis in my hands, hips and back. I can't take prescription meds because of my kidney problems. I use Theragesic and its the best pain reliever I've ever used. When I was working and on my feet for over 8 hours a night I'd put it on my feet before I went to bed and it was great! My husband uses it on his knees, they have went out on him so many time that he has arthritis in them. It has a mint smell and after it dries it has no smell. Please try it everyone, I think you'll be happy you did. I buy it at Walmart or HyVee.
