Best OTC Ointment

[4HAND]

Or OTC medicine for aching knees.
What have y'all found that works best?
My left knee bothers me at night - aching. Sometimes it wakes me.
Mainly when it's stretched out. Bending or drawing it up some seems to help ease it.
Like I said, mainly my left, but both knees ache sometimes & both get stiff.

I know, getting old........

Voltaren is O.K... at least the best I've found without a script. Had some Lidocaine that actually let me walk normal.. once..

H22's knees are shot. Voltaren and aspercreme with lidocain and a knee brace helps a little.

Tiger Balm works well for me

Salonpas patches work great for my aching old hand.

I cut the big ones in half and sandwich my knee in there and rap a ace bandage on it to keep to sticky from coming off.
Works pretty well...
I'll also use voltarin type gels.

I have bone on bone knee problems so bad that the shin is litterly sliding off the joint to the point I am bowlegged. I have tried everything including prescription meds to no avail and then I found +1 Herolab Hemp Extract + Emu oil and it has been the best thing for my knees that I have found. It's a little pricey but you don't have to use that much in order to get the job done.

Look at the reviews, you won't find one less than a 3, which is nearly unheard of with Amazon, and there are several that are several years old.

Hemp cream is mostly what I use.

My buddy has real bad knees from working in the mines.They ache him something terrible. He started taking magnesium supplements and it’s made a world of difference. He can squat down on his heels like a 25 year old and don’t sound like a bowl of rice crispy standing back up. Their cheap and all natural. He went and lost about 40 lbs. and that helped a right smart too.

Absorbine Jr Horse Liniment works pretty good for me.

 

[4HAND]

Applied the Voltaren last night before I went to bed.
Didn't bother me during the night or this morning, so far.
I'm surprised it worked that quickly. The packaging said it could take up to 7 days to work, IIRC.

All good things here, don’t forget about ice.

Drove to Gville this evening. I hour each way. Normally knee would be stiff & aching. None of that.

 

[Vivian]

I use Biofreeze and a knee brace for a few days ..

 

[divinginn]

I use Glucosimine,it helps keep all my joint issues at bay.
If forget to take them for a few days the pain coming back is a reminder.
