This product was very helpful until I could see my doctor and go for Physical Therapy.

My dad died of colon cancer last summer. The only pain he would complain about was the excruciating pain in his knee. Noone could figure out why he was in so much pain. They had him on several pain killers and nothing worked. Desperate, we bought Activon when we ran across it in the store. We were hoping against hope on the outside chance that something that seemed so simple could help. It really did help ease his pain and we were all so grateful for that.

I was not impressed I went to Icy Hot but the odor hangs around on that one so moving to Aspercreme now

Save your money. I have arthritis in both knees and this didn't do a thing to relieve my pain.

This stuff DOES work!! I have had a backache for 2 years. At first they did not know what it was as all the tests came out good. Then, they found out that I have MS. They said the pain "is all in my head", in others words, there is a very minor case of arthritis but nothing that should be causing this pain. I saw the commercials and got some to more or less grasp at yet another straw. But, this one worked!! For the first time in years, I am able to go to bed at night without pain!! My husband had some pain in his arm and I put it on and he could not believe how quickly, or how well, it works. A few weeks later, he hurt his back. Nothing major, just zigged when he should've zagged. Put the AvtivOn on his back and he got to fall asleep without the disconfort. And, I have to add that this site, drugstore.com, has all 3 varities at the best prices anywhere. I have found they usually do.

My friend had nerve damage due to a bulging disc. The most affected area was his knee and leg. He rubbed ActivOn on it, and had relief within 30 minutes. Nothing had helped the pain until he found this product.

I'm an RN on the night shift at a local hospital, and I heard about this product from a patient. His wife brought it into the hospital after he had had poor pain control results all night from the narcotics prescribed for him. It actually does have a slight smell, but I (and my girlfriend!) find it pleasant - it doesn't replace my perfume, but it doesn't overpower it, either. The relief is almost immediate, and lasts long enough for me to get to sleep or start my day without pain. And I don't need a prescription!
