I pretty much live on the icyhot cream/ icyhot patches. These things work pretty well but they get expensive. Voltaren gel is simply not as effective. Im going to ask my doctor upon my next visit, but does anyone know of something similar to the icyhot products that are covered by insurance?
Are you in the USA because I've never heard of this cream before?
This is actually cheaper than I've seen but it still would be better to have it covered by health insurance.

I've tried it. It's a 'phsycological' help in my opinion. It's as it says on the tube 'icy and hot'. Heat relieves pain so.........!
I bought the roll on type - it gets to places you can't reach easily and isn't messy like creams.
It's expensive though - not necessarily the product, but the postage.
I'd buy it again!
Are you talking about icy hot? It's definitely not psychological, it's just expensive and doesn't last very long. If you mean psychological as far as a distraction yes the cooling/heating sensation masks the pain but any kind of pain reliever is basically doing that if its not fixing the issue.
Do you think if I rubbed it on my head it would help my spelling???😀😀
LOL!
