Max Strength Pain Relief 10% Ibuprofen Gel, Maximum Anti-Inflammatory Relief for Joint Pain, Sprains, Backache, Muscular Pains and Sports Injuries, 50 g

This is effective for me for foot arch pain. If your stomach is empty you might also consider adding two ibuprofen lysine tablets because they have a very fast and high peak effect that's good to help to quickly reduce pain. If your stomach isn't empty they are the same as ordinary ibuprofen tablets so don't waste your money then.

Helps shoulder elbow pain due to muscle strain have brought two tubes so far

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

I decided to try Ibuleve because none of its cheaper counterparts had worked. I was not one bit disappointed because Ibuleve Max Strength worked almost instantly. It doesn’t get all tacky and sticky after you apply it and the relief is literally almost instant. It also last for a good few hours unlike painkillers so it’s better you than necking multiple tablets throughout the day. Obviously it’s very simple to apply but I would advise using it sparingly. You only need a small bit rubbed into the pain area. I’m a paying customer and not a reviewer so you can actually believe what I’m saying. Yes it’s more expensive than the cheaper counterparts but it’s worth every penny I promise you. Them othered are just a false economy anyway. If you need quick relief from joint pain I would highly recommend this.

It works well, but does seem to go off, as other reviewers have mentioned, you start to get a fishy smell from the gel about a month after the tube has been first opened. It still works, but the smell is noticeable through clothing…I’ve just ordered some Voltarol and will throw the rest away once it arrives.

Has helped keep my pain from a frozen shoulder to a minimum. Good size tube that lasts.

One of the regular comments that I read referred to a ‘fishy smell’ and I found this to be true. Strangely it does’t seem to smell fishy while in the tube but it becomes noticeable when applied, both to the area concerned - and your fingers so a good hand wash after using is essential. It is still early days using it for me therefore I can’t comment on its pain reduction effectiveness. Please note, a little goes a long way so take care when squeezing the tube!

I've only just started using this gel, but it seems to be helping already. It is easy to use, though it is not as gel-like as I expected and comes out of the tube quicker than I thought it would, but it does rub in well. It it works as well I hope it will, it will be good value for money.
