Hi Ljm, Good to see you here!
I've tried several topical pain relievers, and found that sometimes, the cheapest, generic ones work as well as the more expensive ones.
I had really good results with Glucosamine brand Deep Warming Rub, which is odorless. A strong caution, though: Wash your hands soon after applying, as it tingles, and some people have even gotten rashes from it. Personally, it worked well for me, though.
Do you get muscle cramps? I tried Cramp 911 roll-on a while back, with some success.
Smith's Amish Arthritis cream is one of my favorites, though it does have a little scent. (Not like an Italian kitchen, though, LOL!
I once read that sometimes rubbing in aloe vera gel by itself can help some people.
Everyone has different reactions, of course, and sensitivities, but these have worked for me.
Hope you find some relief soon!
