Ted's Brain Science Pain Cream with Resveratrol and 10% Methyl Salicylate, 3-Ounce (3-Pack)

I LOVE Ted’s Cream!A highly respected doctor-friend who is always on the lookout for new and effective products gave me a tube of Ted’s Pain Cream for my birthday. One reason she bought it for me is that it is created by neuroscientists, and I’m such a fan of neuroscientists (I use their so generously published research about the brain and its effect on grief and on anxiety). The other reason she bought it for me is that it works.It works so well that I immediately bought three more tubes to make sure I’m never without it. I keep a tube of Ted’s Cream on the nightstand. I have one tube in the office. I have another tube in the kitchen. And I began giving it to my friends for their birthdays.The ONLY ‘weird’ thing about it? I realize how used to pain one can become. For example, I had some deep ache in my legs (after a six-mile fast walk), and I spent ages lying there at night trying to relax the muscles, kneading the muscles, tossing and turning - trying to get comfortable so I could sleep. Now, I had that one tube right there on the nightstand. And yet there I lie, sleepless with the pain. Worrying that maybe I have to give up my exercising. Until the lightbulb goes off in my brain and I think, “wait!!” I no longer have to put up with these aches and pains! I have a solution. I have THE solution! I grab the tube of Ted’s Cream, apply it to my achy muscles, and voila! I’m off to dreamland. But ever since that experience I kept thinking about how strange it is that we become used to having pain even when the solution is close at hand..Once, after a long/intense walk and my muscles began aching, I thought – for the heck of it – I would put the cream on just my left leg. Just to see. Just to see how effectively it worked. Well, that leg felt so much better. Completely better. I spent several hours marveling on how much the right leg was still hurting while the left leg had no pain. Until I finally smacked myself on the forehead and asked myself why the heck I was letting my right leg suffer! So, yes, applied Ted’s Cream to the right leg and, yes, voila!Years ago, I had an unsuccessful surgical removal of a neuroma and the result is an occasional, truly awful, sickening nerve tingling in my foot, especially at night when I’m trying to sleep. It’s awful. The only solution for me has been taping one large magnet-disc on the top of my foot and one of the bottom of my foot and then wearing a sock to keep it in place. But now I have Ted’s Cream!! As soon as I start feeling the tingling, I apply Ted’s Cream… and – here it comes! – voila!Besides muscle aches, I use it on my knees when they bother me. On my sciatica. Another favorite application: itchy skin. There are sometimes really intense itches… on the skin surface but also below the skin surface. Scratching just doesn’t relieve it. And, if the itch is on the bottom of the foot, that’s an inconvenient spot to scratch. Now, I just apply Ted’s Cream. WHAT A RELIEF !!!Each tube lasts a long time even though there are so many uses for it. I LOVE Ted’s Cream!

I first found out about Ted's due to a Facebook ad a few years ago and have used it since. I have a lot of chronic pain due to several injuries and subsequent surgery. I've done tons of PT and that hard work really helps. However, I have pain due to nerve damage and the rest and once it gets established it can last for quite a while. I've used many different topical creams and found that this works markedly better than most without, importantly, giving me hives or leaving a potentially irritating residue like the capsicum-based creams. Ted's really helps a lot and seems to be effective. It also has a persistent effect, so as you use it, it takes the edge off pain as long as you don't substantially reirritate the injury. The price seems higher than most pain creams, but I find I use quite a bit less of it than I seemed to need of others---a pea-sized dab goes quite a long way---so a tube goes quite a long way. I use a tube a month, roughly. The scent is mild and I've never had anyone care about it, though it does smell minty, about as minty as gum I'd guess. I find that if I apply it a few hours before I go out, I don't smell notably at all.I've given tubes of Ted's to many different people and almost all have been quite happy with it.

I've tried Ted's Pain Cream on older injuries or chronic achy spots without much noticeable difference. That's not surprising since it's really intended to calm pain after a recent injury. A month ago I cut the pad of my index finger quite badly - it needed 5 stitches to close and they had to be left in 2 weeks before it was healed enough to stay closed. It took another week before it could be left uncovered, and then it was so sensitive that using it for normal activities was really painful. Any pressure on the scar tissue was just unbearable. I tried several options to help reduce the pain, and finally remembered Ted's Pain Cream. It worked like a charm - the nerves that had been screaming in protest finally quieted and I can use my finger again. I'm truly impressed.

This product works quite well, but I prefer the Roll On product for ease of use while providing superior pain relief.

Ted's is a great product. Some days, it's the best thing to use because of the analgesic, at a good dosage. When it is the best day for Ted's (high humidity), the pain goes away quickly and stays away for an hour or two. And its wintergreen odor reminds me that I've got an herb working for me in addition to the copper gloves.Ted's is particularly good for my working shoulders and neck. That's where it really puts on steam.Unfortunately, I find that my body builds up a tolerance for it (aspirin) quickly and that I have a couple of joints that just don't respond to aspirin, so I switch off with other analgesic brands, but that just spreads the wealth.When I use Ted's, the pain from swelling is reduced and I feel less tense. Some days, nothing else works.

Ted’s Pain Cream relieves my pain from Spinal Stenosis, in my back and down my leg. It relieves my shoulder pain from a partially torn Rotator Cuff. It relieves my knee pain from Osteo Arthritis. I cancelled my last Steroid Spinal Epidural. The scent is Wntergreen, not Peppermint; the scent is not strong and goes away once completely absorbed. I’ve not had this degree of relief from prescription & over the counter drugs, or other ointments, or CBD.Ted’s Pain Cream has changed my life. The effect is cumulative. You must use it 3-4 times a day for a week or so; then, morning & night, and as needed.
