It works most times.
If my pain isn't too intense I will use the gel. Otherwise, my Tens unit. I find that the gel relieves minor pain to the point of feeling some relief. It may have to be reapplied throughout the day, but that's OK. I use it to help with knee and back pain mostly, and it helps me to sleep. Very strong so be careful not to use it near your face. Wash hands thoroughly after applying, as you would need to massage it in for it to work. You could use gloves as I have to keep it off my hands. When I use it for carpel tunnel I don't put it on my fingers, just palms and wrist. I would buy again, but the packing could be better as the tubes were not protected and spilled out into the package.
