All you have to do is believe.
This actual information is a little more useful:
Ingredients
Arnica Montana Flower Tincture, Rosemary Oil, Lavender Oil, Eucalyptus, Emu Oil.
Ah yes well studied non-steriodal anti-inflammatory agents. Definitely on the WHO essential list.
@LoopyLou:
TGA PDF listing as well: (I did not need like the emu information: TMI)

We have a lot of older members at our sports centre that use it.
I was sceptical myself but gave it a try
And was pleasantly surprised it worked.
This will not fix an underlying mechanical problem, but aches and soreness…OK.
Does it have a strong odour though? I don't wanna be putting this stuff on in the office if it's gonna stink
Yes
Very strong.
@montorola: Very good, very different too. This actually has pain relief properties unlike deep heat which just heats.
I gotta say, I spent $13 at Chemistwarehouse : ( , It is for sure did have some cool feeling (maybe really spicy chilli water can do it), however, the feeling won't last long. The best solution for your muscle pain is time.
Thanks OP. Bought 1 of each.
I think I'm going to need one of these watching WCE this year.
Even better, I have a bottle of the Sinatra at home.
Thanks Heaps OP
wonder what are the expiry dates on these products ?
I doubt its effectiveness will decrease with age
Thanks OP, use the cream regularly so stocked up, plus will give the salts a try.
GG57, these look like small containers (cream 70g). I would presume you don't use a lot then.
Depends on the extent of the pain / injury I suppose. I don't use much (knee injury, managing pain during recovery) and my partner uses for leg cramps.
Only downside is the 'distinctive' smell, but it is not objectionable.
Is this similar to deep heat?
exactly…lasts quite a while.
in store also?
yep search by your postcode for closest stock
Thanks, my partner has been a PITA.
Thanks OP. Managed to buy the pain creams/roll on/ spray with c&c
Thanks bought a few, perfect with soccer season starting this weekend
my folks use the arthritis stuff regularly and im gonna try out some of the sport stuff for post bike rides
$288 worth of product for $32 & available for click & collect at my local…nice ;)
Have they tried Rapigel?
im not sure….i can ask. do you recommend it?
Nah I was thinking of getting grandmother to try it. A lot of people say it's really good and they haven't had any side effects seeing as it's meant for horses. Shane Crawford swears by it lol.
@TarquinOliverNimrod: …ahh that stuff. friends gave my mum some of it and i made her get rid of it…who knows whats in it & possible side effects…hasnt been clinically tested on humans from what i can recollect!?
Rapigel worked wonders for my tendonitis
Did it take a while to take effect? Grandmother is on Voltaren but it doesn't do much.
Both the sports and arthritis ingredients are the same, it's just branding.
…thought theyd be identical/virtually identical as well ;)
Can't find anywhere to pick up from Queensland
Thanks OP, you are my life saver and also budget saver, appreciate for your post.
These don't work :(
They don't. You must work and when feeling pain these can help
just wish they wont cancel because out of stock (power of ozb). pick fews but then local store doesnt have all, so just pay $5 delivery for like 7 items its worth i think
$5 delivery only applicable if you buy over $150. normal is 19.95, which kills it I reckon.
Nope. Just paid $5 delivery for $24 worth.
lenny is wrong seb is correct :D
Should not have to pay more than $40 for a 25kg bag of mag salt. Even bunnings has 12.5kg for $22. That's half your quoted price.
Nonetheless you're right- the price in this deal with free shipping is approaching somewhat sensible.
For anybody interested in the "ingredients", I couldn't even find them on the PainAway website which should be red flag enough. But Chemist Warehouse says the ingredients are:
Arnica Montana Flower Tincture, Rosemary Oil, Lavender Oil, Eucalyptus, Emu Oil
maybe your local Chemist Warehouse can price match or beat these prices , HAHA
I prefer the Hannah Montana Flower, after rubbing on you feel numb for days.
Every time I see lavender or tea tree oil I think of prepubertal gynecomastia thanks to reading that news article years ago. You can't win when it comes to eating, drinking, breathing, or skin-rubbing.
I used to work in a saddlery, and Rapigel was one of our best selling products. Not for horses, but for people!
Please be aware that this product is registered for use on horses and dogs - not for human use.
…the disclaimer doesnt exactly inspire confidence! :P
Irrelevant. It's proven safe by the thousands that use it regularly, symptom free.
It's brilliantly effective, too.
can confirm - used by many in my football team. its great
Yeah the Menthol 20mg/g and Camphor 6.25mg/g are the active ingredients in this one and it is similiar to what Physio's use (for people).
The menthol has no interactions or side effects either though somewhere I read a limit of 3% is recommended for use on skin.
Bought up all the salts on c&c - much cheaper than the epsom/muscle soaks currently using for recovery.
that good? other member lenny also bought alot . damn should have bought more than one of this salt thingie never know what it is
Pool shop sells it in 20kg bags. They'd probably give you a kg if you asked nicely.
Ouch ! My wallet hurts now after all these deals
I feel ya
please do not try to apply the cream to your wallet it wont ease the pain
After building up a sweat from eating McDonalds I sometimes get a pain in my chest - This stuff works great.
I put this on my boss once. Havn't seen him since.
chest? i got pain in the belly. solved by going to toilet tho.. free
Brodened… :D thanks OP. This should help ease the pain OzB has been causing to my wallet lately.
Edit: Rebel is awesome!
Your order is being shipped from various locations. This means you will receive multiple deliveries at no additional cost.
…nice customer service…just got a call to let me know the 3x arthritic creams had been nabbed by an instore customer…theyre going to deliver those 3x for free. good stuff
confirmed Chemist Warehouse will not price match haha
Always worth a shot! What was their excuse?
they will not match clearance items
How does this stuff compare to Rapigel? Aside for it being officially fit for human use?
Just letting you know I picked up my order and the expiry date is less than 5 months (expires in August)
I have contacted the Customer Support and they advised these are clearance item (obviously) - hence shorted life span
However I can return the product
Wait you can also return them to me. Full refund guarantee no question asked.
Thats why I walked there to check.
I saw this post just as I was about to goto lunch, got there and a staff member was clearing them out for online orders… grabbed 1… August 2018
ozbargained..
The start of Rebel becoming Kogan ?
Got one through click and collect. For $2 the expiry date doesn't faze me too much as I'm sure it'll be fine for a while after that.
This or Deep Heat?
Deep Heat
Deep Pain
Did anyone else get their order cancelled as "out of stock"? Just got an email maybe 5 minutes ago
Yes half of my order was cancelled and refunded. the heat ones were refunded; no stock.
I C&C collected my order last Friday. Chatting to the store guy and he had >30 orders on his stores system overnight (Thurs/Fri) that he had no more stock for.
Seems they were OzBargained and their system didn't cope.
For any one still interested in the sprays, I note they are avilable for online order
when surfing their site today
Does this stuff actually work?
