Equate Odor-Free Arthritis Cream 10% Trolamine Salicylate with Aloe, 3 oz, Compare to Aspercreme® Pain Relieving Cream Active Ingredient

I have just started to experience some arthritis in my elbows over the last few months. I bought this product a year ago for my friend when she had some arthritis in her knee. She barked at me because I didn't buy Aspercream. A year ago I told her I saved her over $2 and Equate has the same active ingredient in it as Aspercream, and she needed to have an open mind about it and I bet it would work. Sure enough it worked fantastic. She has continued to buy the product by the 3 pack. I started developing some arthritis in my elbow and I went to go buy it and Walmart was completely out of it. My friend gave me what was left in her old tube, bless her heart, I was in some serious pain. Even her old tube gave me wonderful relief. I have waited over 3 months to buy this product at Walmart at an affordable price. I'm going to do something I don't normally do, plead and beg. Who buys these kind of products on a regular basis, elderly people who are on a seriously tight budget. In one month from now, I'm going to have to make a decision, food to live, medicine to live, or a roof over my head to live, which one would you choose? I need this product, I don't like products with lidocaine or capsaicin they dry out and burn my skin something terrible. I can't afford the medication that I have to get from a pharmacy, I need the over the counter medicine to remain affordable and safe. Walmart will you please keep this product reasonably priced? Please do not jack up the price because this product gets good reviews and people like it, please don't believe if you jack up the price and/or reduce the amount in the tube, it's going to continue to get purchased because people like it. In society today people are smarter than that give them credit for, don't insult our intelligence. I will find it elsewhere and I will buy it elsewhere at a slightly higher cost just so I don't have to buy it from you, if you choose the wrong road. I actually love this product, it works for me. Please keep this product affordable at today's current price under $4 for a 3 oz tube. Please keep it in stock, I'm not in a position to buy in bulk, as it is, I have to give up something, in order to buy just 1 tube. I will not subscribe for anything just to keep it in stock. I cannot afford subscriptions, I believe subscriptions are just another way to rip people off. Walmart you should want to keep popular products in stock. Once upon a time the Companies cared about the customer, for without the customer, there was no company. I really miss times of old, when my person and pocketbook were respected by the company to which I gave my business to.

This cream relieves pain in aching joints and other body areas with aching muscles or pulled fascia or tendons. It is not novacane so do not expect miracles, but it DOES appreciably help relieve -- not banish discomfort. I have used Voltaren for years and find that since Voltaren addresses the partial relief of pain by helping to reduce inflammation, if your inflammation is significant and is painful, it certainly will not relieve the pain while it addresses the underlying cause of the pain. I now use Equate Arthitis Cream to address the pain which Voltaren does not directly address. In short , I use both, but count on THIS cream to relieve the discomfort.
