I got a sample of Biofreeze (at chiropractic booth at health fair) and that really helps. It is also sold online but not sure where the best prices are found. Give your doctor office a call to make sure you can use the creams. If you can, ask them for their recommendation.
Call around to some of the chiropractics; that is the first place I saw Biofreeze. Walmarts also has a spray made by BioFreeze; not sure the name but it says made by on the front of can.
