I can also vouch for Biofreeze. I did discover a new cream that helps also. Salonpas Lidocaine Plus has helped me. I tend to switch creams since I noticed the more I used 1 brand the less effective it became.

I was told to use Diclofenac daily but the effectiveness became less and less. So, I use that sparingly.

I also will use CBD cream as well. Which really helps.

I must say I don’t use creams everyday. Only when the pain is so severe I can’t focus on anything else. I must caution you if you use multiple creams, make sure the area is thoroughly cleaned before using a different brand, I ended up with a chemical burn.

The most effective product I’ve ever used are Lidoderm Lidocaine patches. I used to use 3 a night. One on my neck and one on each shoulder. Once I got my divorce and I lost my ex’s health insurance, the new insurance wouldn’t cover it. Those were my life savers and sometimes the only reason I could partly function
