Cure Your Arthritis
After 43-Years of Suffering with Arthritis I Shocked My Doctors
(Who Predicted I'd Soon Need A Wheelchair)
When I Naturally Cured My Arthritis...
Without Expensive Medication Or Surgery!
And I Know You Can Do The Same!
Great Product,
I bought the Equate Arthritis Pain Reliever from Amazon. I could have purchased locally, but saved time and money buying from Amazon. I sometimes have mild “arthritis” pain in my hands and this product truly helps alleviate that pain. Love this product and would recommend for those people who have mild arthritis. Not sure how it works with true arthritis sufferers.

|This is just Bengay without the camphor.,
When this arrived at my door I knew immediately what was in the package as the menthol odor was so strong. (However, it is interesting to note that the smell dissapates a bit upon use and eventually thins to an almost baby-powderish minty odor that may be the biggest improvement this formula offers over its competitors.) I was initially excited to see what Tylenol would offer the world in the form of a pain relieving cream and was a bit disappointed to find that it’s basically just Bengay without the camphor.
Tylenol Precise relieves minor aches and pains but for those with more serious pain issues such as back or joint injuries or even arthritis, this cream isn’t likely to do much for you. In fact, it’s really little different from the other major brands on the market. Some will prefer this cream over the others based on its consistency and odor, but in terms of effectiveness, Tylenol isn’t offering anything new with this “Precise” formula. A 3 star evaluation is “OK” and it is the same evaluation I would give to Bengay and Icy Hot in terms of effectiveness.
Because I feel it’s extremely important to know what’s in products intended for self-medication, I have provided the following information:
Active Ingredients are:
Menthol – 10%
Methyl salicylate – 30%
Inactive ingredients are:
C12-15 alkyl benzoate
carbomer
cocoglycerides
distearyl ether
edetate disodium
ethylparaben
fragrance
glyceryl laurate
glyceryl stearate
methylparaben
myristyl alcohol
phenoxyethanol
propylparaben
sodium hydroxide
steareth-2
steareth-21
stearyl alcohol
water

|For Real Pain Relief, There Are Better Creams Available,
With shoulder pain that can get so bad, I cannot open a door, I have tried almost every pain relief cream on the market. Amazon offers two creams that really do the job. Unfortunately, Tylenol Pain Relieving Cream is not one of the two.
Here’s my take on this pain relieving cream:
PROS:
1. I like the tube because, rather than having to dig the cream out of a tub,I can easily regulate the amount of cream coming out of the tube.
2. It’s not greasy and soaks in quickly.
CONS:
1. This cream smells like something my mother used to rub on my chest when, as a child, I had a cold. I hated the camphor smell then, and I don’t like it better now.
2. The promotion piece implies that you can get quick relief with this cream (“Deep Penetrating, start to feel on contact”). I did not find that to be the case. It took 15+ minutes to start working, and it never worked well.
3. What pain relief there was (and it wasn’t much) wore off within an hour or so. Because the manufacturer recommends you use this product no more often than three or four times a day, you’re left with pain for much of the day.
Amazon offers two very effective pain relieving creams. They cost more than this product (at least double the price of this one), but, if you are dealing with severe pain, they’re really worth it. I’d spend more to get a lot more relief.
