Ted's Brain Science Pain Cream with Resveratrol and 10% Methyl Salicylate (3-Ounces)

I also posted the following review on the three-tube page because, while originally I ordered the individual tubes, now they offer the three-tubes-at-a-time and that's how I now order them. But, the good reviews on one page don't show up on the other and they should. So:I LOVE Ted’s Cream!A highly respected doctor-friend who is always on the lookout for new and effective products gave me a tube of Ted’s Pain Cream for my birthday. One reason she bought it for me is that it is created by neuroscientists, and I’m such a fan of neuroscientists (I use their so generously published research about the brain and its effect on grief and on anxiety). The other reason she bought it for me is that it works.It works so well that I immediately bought three more tubes to make sure I’m never without it. I keep a tube of Ted’s Cream on the nightstand. I have one tube in the office. I have another tube in the kitchen. And I began giving it to my friends for their birthdays.The ONLY ‘weird’ thing about it? I realize how used to pain one can become. For example, I had some deep ache in my legs (after a six-mile fast walk), and I spent ages lying there at night trying to relax the muscles, kneading the muscles, tossing and turning - trying to get comfortable so I could sleep. Now, I had that one tube right there on the nightstand. And yet there I lie, sleepless with the pain. Worrying that maybe I have to give up my exercising. Until the lightbulb goes off in my brain and I think, “wait!!” I no longer have to put up with these aches and pains! I have a solution. I have THE solution! I grab the tube of Ted’s Cream, apply it to my achy muscles, and voila! I’m off to dreamland. But ever since that experience I kept thinking about how strange it is that we become used to having pain even when the solution is close at hand..Once, after a long/intense walk and my muscles began aching, I thought – for the heck of it – I would put the cream on just my left leg. Just to see. Just to see how effectively it worked. Well, that leg felt so much better. Completely better. I spent several hours marveling on how much the right leg was still hurting while the left leg had no pain. Until I finally smacked myself on the forehead and asked myself why the heck I was letting my right leg suffer! So, yes, applied Ted’s Cream to the right leg and, yes, voila!Years ago, I had an unsuccessful surgical removal of a neuroma and the result is an occasional, truly awful, sickening nerve tingling in my foot, especially at night when I’m trying to sleep. It’s awful. The only solution for me has been taping one large magnet-disc on the top of my foot and one of the bottom of my foot and then wearing a sock to keep it in place. But now I have Ted’s Cream!! As soon as I start feeling the tingling, I apply Ted’s Cream… and – here it comes! – voila!Besides muscle aches, I use it on my knees when they bother me. On my sciatica. Another favorite application: itchy skin. There are sometimes really intense itches… on the skin surface but also below the skin surface. Scratching just doesn’t relieve it. And, if the itch is on the bottom of the foot, that’s an inconvenient spot to scratch. Now, I just apply Ted’s Cream. WHAT A RELIEF !!!Each tube lasts a long time even though there are so many uses for it. I LOVE Ted’s Cream!

I was just a bit skeptical but I decided to give this a try. I work very long hours in 3-4 inch heels and sometimes my feet are killing me by the end of the day. I love potions and lotions of all sorts so I decided to give this a try. I was surprised that it really does seem to work. This is not a cure-all, but my feet definitely hurt less by the end of the day. I only apply it once in the morning. The cream has a nice minty smell and is quite soothing even when you first apply it. I do not chalk the benefit I feel up to placebo effect because I really did not actually think it would work even though a friend had recommended it. So, although this is definitely not a cure for foot pain, it does offer enough benefit to make it worth the cost. I plan to buy this again.UPDATE 10/17/2018: I decided to change my review to a 5 star. I have used this daily for a month and it seems to work better over time. I rub about a dime size amount of lotion onto each foot in the morning. I suddenly realized the other day that my feet are just not hurting at night anymore. The maximum improvement for me was fairly gradual. I highly recommend using this everyday for at least a month to see if the benefit you receive increases over time as well.

My husband found this through articles he was reading and forwarded the information to me. I read EVERYTHING thoroughly (including the bad reviews from some people). Despite the few 'bad' reviews, which weren't actually that 'bad' in my opinion (just testimony about how it didn't solve their issues, which is to be expected for some people), I decided to give this product a try. I have suffered from chronic pain since 2012, so I am always looking for something to help me that ISN'T in pill form. My experience with this cream has been this: It works just fine for my somewhat 'small' pain - my hands, my knees, etc. But when I start having my debilitating pain in my back and side (abdomen area), it HELPS, but doesn't make it go away. After dealing with years of pain that is debilitating, anything that helps is a bonus in my book, hence the 4 star review. ;) I think they are definitely on the right track, but it will obviously not work for everyone, or on everything that is causing an issue. I will definitely continue using this product, despite the smell. ;)
