Q: Has anyone tried this for tennis elbow? Tendonitis? Any results?
submitted by SarahB - 5 years ago
A:Â Tendonitis, or tennis elbow, is an inflammation caused by repetitive movements. Arnica is indicated for this type of pain, based on the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of its components (especially helenalin).

I've used Arnica gel for bruises and swelling with great success and highly recommend it for that. But what i really love it for is the mild arthritis in my fingers! I told a person with severe arthritis in his hands to try it. He did and was so excited to let me know that he got real relief from the pain that made his hands unusable.
Great stuff!

I have used many products in the past and some worked for a while, others never really worked for my back and leg muscle pain. I met a person in the drug store and was told about Arnicare gel. I bought it and have no regrets. It is the only thing I use and recommend to friends with similar problems to mine. It relieves my pain more than anything else I have tried.

A doctor reccomended this to me. It is homeopathic junk that literally does nothing. Save your money and skip this.

In September I fell and hurt my back. The pain was awful and limited what I could do. A friend recommended Tiger Balm which helped a bit; then another friend told me about Capzaisin with the same result. I was also taking Alleve. I called another friend who has chronic back pain and she said she uses arnica. I love homeopathic remedies so did a google search for arnica cream and found Boiron's website which took me to Arnicare Gel. This gel is amazing and relief was quick (while stlll taking Alleve). I used the gel as often as needed and only used Alleve at night. As my back healed I stopped Alleve and used the gel less. Finally my back is healed thanks to Boiron's Arnicare. I highly recommend this wonderful gel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used Other products for relieving muscle aches, but after trying this product I’m sold. I won’t use anything else. It’s isn’t greasy, doesn’t have an offensive odor and works quickly.
Works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been experiencing knee pain for about a month and this couldn’t have come at a better time. I started using this product as soon as I received it, rubbing it all around my knee, and my pain was gone within 2 days!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked that this was not greasy, the gel is a nice clean consistency. I used this on my husband after he crawled under a house and was sore and had knotted up muscles and he said it provided him some relief.

I bought this after surgery where my arms were black and blue from the blood draws and IVs. The bruises were huge and dark and I felt really felt very self-conscious. After a week or so when the bruises were still dark purple and green, a friend recommended this gel. Within a day or two of use, I started seeing significant improvement. The bruises faded without going through all those ugly green and yellow phases. Now, when I get a bruise, this gel is my first goto. It's not smelly or greasy -- soaks in very quickly and not tacky feeling when it dries. It's practically magic!

I got a sample from @pinchme and tried it. I was expecting it to have a strong smell but it didn't and it's not greasy. I was shocked it worked so well on my neck. I say shocked because it didn't burn and smell so I didn't think it would but it did and very well
Love it.
