5kind Natural Joint & Muscle Cooling Gel 300ml - Calendula Cream with Camphor, Comfrey & Menthol - High Strength Revitalising Muscle Gel - Massage for Back, Muscles, Knees, Neck & Shoulders

I have got arthritis since I was in my mid teens and got worse with every decade: on top of that in April 2020 I had a bad episode of sciatica on my right leg which left me with numbness in several toes and parts of the foot and leg. The other day, as I bent to tie my shoe laces I had once again that pain through my back that sent me straight to bed (probably because the temperature in London dropped some 10 degrees Celsius), as in the past, when I was stuck to bed for up to 6 weeks in deep pain and then 8 months of mobility as even 80 years old walked faster than me.I got this cream hoping to be better than the useless voltarol (or stomach upsetting diclofenac sodium gel) and I could not believe when in a matter of minutes my back was so much better!!! A small bit goes a long way out of the 300ml gel, which is great as opposed to using the expensive Voltarol etc (feeling like a watery chocolate pudding I make sometimes) and smells a bit minty, because of the menthol and camphor it contains, but not cooling or warming the back. I guess the great result is due to the comfrey extract, which I never heard about before, although the brief research I did said it is banned in the USA because the comfrey tablets for example, if taken for longer than 10 days affect the liver and even lead to death.I used it for 3 days so far and I cannot believe I do not walk bent to 90 degrees. The jar came with 90% product as you see it, but even using it for several days appeared almost the same - a bit goes a long way. I am really impressed with it - not out of the woods as normally it takes me months to be back to normal but at least I give the appearance of being OK. I will keep this nearby until the next major episode strikes - will update here if I will experience anything negative.

Have been using this for a couple of years now. Very gentle, but gives a cooling effect to stiff and painful areas. Started using this when I had torn rotator cuffs, along with physio this helped things back to normal. Just be careful not to get on bedding or light clothes.

This is a very good product, really helps me with my fibromyalgia pain that I have in ribs, shoulders, feet, upper and lower back. Helps relax muscles enough to get some sleep during the night as well. I recently started doing yoga as it is helping me with pain and fatigue and I apply the gel onto painful areas prior to and after the exercise and that seems to work really well. If you suffer from fibromyalgia you need to exercise, even if it is just 10 minutes per day and this gel really helps to achieve that. I apply it a few times during the day and sometimes even at night to help me go back to sleep, the jar goes a long way and large tub usually lasts me 2 months of continuous use, which I think is a good value for money. The gel smells quite strongly of menthol and I am not too fond of this, also, it stains clothes, so I just resolved to wearing black t shirts around the house, I also have some stain on my bedding, which is annoying, but anything to take away the pain.Sending warm wishes to all those battling with the disease and I hope you find some relief x

The product worked really well and relaxed my muscles

I dont normally write reviews but after 2 weeks of debilitating back pain with a trapped nerve I have just discovered this amazing gel. I was prescribed codeine, ibuprofen, paracetamol and pre gabalin for pain relief and to be honest they weren't doing a very good job. In addition to this I was using deep heat, deep relief, voltarol and biofreeze. Whilst the pain was just controllable it was still noticeable and movement was restricted. In my desperation I purchased this, not expecting muchHow wrong I was. After first application pain numbed to a level that none of the medication or other products managed and more importantly I could move again.The gel doesn't generate warmth as I expected but the pain just fades away within minutes. It has a "calming" scent and dries within about 90 seconds .Thank you 5Kind. After 2 weeks of hellish pain, no sleep and literally crawling around the house Ive finally found a product that actually relieves pain. I will definitely be ordering more and looking at their other products.Update to my original review. The pain relief only lasts a short while and does not provide an overall solution to pain relief

fast delivery

Very good impress with product and the service

Arrived promptly and very well packaged. This product is very cool and refreshing, and it has rather a pleasant smell. It's brown earthy in colour, and the texture is like cold rather like blancmange/jelly. So very little is required to rub into the area needed. Be very careful not to drop it on any bedding or clothes as it will leave a dirty pink stain. Which should come out in tge wash if it's treated.
