This is real pain relief--from the laboratory of neuroscientists.
It has been 25 years since I have experienced a pain-free day.  I have extra bone growth throughout my body, severe arthritis in several joints and Parkinsonism--which contributes electric-shock pains several times a day to a random part of my body.<br /><br />I have been totally disabled since 2002--I was 45 years old at the time. I have become quite discerning about the types, flavors and intensities of various types of pains.<br /><br />Overnight, Ted's Pain Creme eliminated 70% of all of my pain.<br /><br />This is not like other topical pain creams, so don't mutter "everyone knows that topical treatments don't work."  Instead of trying to mask or distract from the pain, Ted's takes a novel approach to block certain pain signals from reaching the brain.<br /><br />Ted's research team (focused on pain in mammals) discovered a key difference in the way that  new, legitimate pain is transmitted.  So they set out to disrupt the communication of previous illegitimate pain.  After all, pain from an injury I received three hours, or three days, or thirty years ago does nothing to help me avoid additional harm to my body.  I want to know when something is supposed to hurt, but not to be nagged by old news.<br /><br />It works like the sustain feature of the piano.  Think of striking the key as the onset of new pain.  Something has changed, perhaps suddenly.  But with the sustain pedal, the sound doesn't quickly go away; it goes on and on and on.  Ted's Cream does nothing to cure anything--the reason for the initial key strike,  nor does it prevent additional keys from being struck.  It does cut the effects of most pain short, so that you can clearly hear additional notes, instead of one awful discordant mess of indistinguishable notes.<br /><br />Everyone is different. Chances are your Aunt's best friend's former son-in-law experienced some miracle pain relief by wrapping their head in dirty socks.  There is no reason to believe this will work for me.<br /><br />Ted's seems to work best for relatively surface pain--it is great for my elbows, ankles, knees, feet  and hands.  It is somewhat less effective on deep shoulder pain, and doesn't seem to help much for the deep hip pains.<br /><br />Carpal Tunnel:  was headed to surgery and this eliminated the pain, which allowed the inflammation to heal and the problem went away.  Now if I stop whatever I am doing when the tweaks start, I will experience no pain.<br /><br />Severe knee osteoarthritis:  both knees, wrists, shoulders, elbows.  Ted's reduces pain by probably 90%, once the initial applications take effect (several times a day for a few days). Now I reapply when something starts to hurt again, about every 4-8 weeks.<br /><br />Organ pain:  no change.<br /><br />bone pain:  for bones relatively close to the skin, it can eliminate 70%- 90% of the pain. Again, reapply only when it starts to hurt again.<br /><br />wound pain:  extremely effective, applied not to the wound, but liberally around the wound.  It worked wonders on road rash I sustained when my wheelchair tipped over, trapping me underneath (after extraction and application a couple of times). A colleague said it worked on sunburn pain, although I have not had a sunburn in many years. . .and I am not going to be stupid in order to test this account.<br /><br />muscle pain:  sprains, bruises and painfully tight muscles all respond well, although with muscle lock, the new pain keeps continuing, so it will bring only brief relief.  Brief enough I can work on some stretches in the reduced-pain window.<br /><br />migraine pain:  some people report wonderful results but I don't have this particular problem (thank God)<br /><br />This is not an exhaustive list, but it gives a flavor of the type of pain most likely to be relieved.  At $25 a tube, which will last for months, now that you know if you are tied up in pain it's probably on you for not trying this product.<br /><br />The gel is like a roll-on deodorant plastic-ball thing.  It has almost no smell.  The creme is laced with Wintergreen oil and other herbs so it is quite minty for hours.  The professional strength (new product) is more effective than the original, but not 4x as much.<br /><br />Apply it liberally, rubbing it in like sunscreen to help the skin absorb it (it works transdermally).  Re-apply 2 or 3 times a day until you notice a large reduction in your pain.  Then re-apply when it starts to hurt again.<br /><br />Look, folks, this is not a fly-by-night nutritional supplement scam.  It is produced by neuro-scientists in scientific labs as a serendipitous discovery from a different experiment.  The NIH (National Institutes of Health) believe in its effectiveness enough to fund the development of a related treatment for post-operative eye pain (don't rub Ben-Gay into your eyes, really).<br /><br />I refused to try absolutely everything pushed at  me.  I tried products that had some reasonable explanation that stood up to scrutiny (why should I believe this will work?)  Just try it, please. Pain is not our friend.
