Which ointments is the best product to use for muscle strain or leg cramps and heals your pain quickly?

Give me some good ointments. I want something that helps for the long run

I’ve tried midalgan extra warm. It doesn’t help for the long run.

Here are some good ointments to try for muscle strains/cramps that may help more long-term:

- Tiger Balm/Bengay - The menthol and other ingredients give a really strong tingling/warming sensation that helps loosen muscles up. Works really fast in my experience. Make sure to wash hands well after.

- Biofreeze - This one has a cooling feel instead of heat. Most professionals seem to recommend it for lasting relief. Might be worth a try if heat rubs irritate your skin.

- Icy Hot/Bengay Max Freeze - These roll-on types have a cold sensation at first that transitions to heat. Might get deeper into the muscle faster that way.

- Voltaren Gel - This topical anti-inflammatory gel works on pain and swelling. Needs to be applied 2-3 times a day consistently to really kick in, but can make a big difference.

- Arnicare Gel - Made with arnica which is supposed to help heal muscles after injuries. I know some athletes and dancers who swear by it. Takes a few uses to work.

Hope this gives you some good options to test out sis! Cycling between heat and cold treatments also helps. And don't forget to stretch and take it easy while healing up. Let me know if any of those work better for you long run.

I use voltarin emulgel. Otherwise, a bath soak with Epsom salts and radox muscle soothe powder usually relieves my muscle pain in my legs.

I don't use ointments. I use Salonpas pain patches. Get them over the counter. They really work great.

Try Biofreeze. It works really well for me.
