Theraflex Rx TMJ Relief (Clinically Proven Effective Relief to Areas of Head, Jaw, Joint and Muscle Pain)

I have had TMJ disorder for the past 6 years. I get painful jaw pain flare ups that trigger chronic migraines for a few months along with horrible jaw pain. What I have tried over the years: otc meds and nsaids (barely take the edge off), msm cream I got from my dentist (weird tingling side effect and did nothing for pain), stim/tens unit (uncomfortable to use and results weren’t worth it), essential oils (have to reapply every hour and leave oily residue), orafacial massage (works, but very expensive), chiropractor (works, but only after many visits and continuous care/maintenance), ice/heat (how can you live life with an ice pack on your face?), dentist and mouthguard, relaxation apps, yoga, etc. You get the picture, I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Nothing. And I mean nothing worked as well or as fast as this cream. I wish I found this years ago. I have rubbed Aspercreme, Icy Hot, Biofreeze and a white willow bark cream on my jaw and while those make it so you can smell me from across the room, they only took the edge off the pain and I was constantly reapplying- never mind how much my eyes watered using them on my face/jaw. But this stuff? It actually healed me! The first time I tried it, I woke up with horrible jaw pain and a headache. I applied exactly as the instructions said (rub in for 60 sec) and I felt real relief within an hour. I applied the cream for two weeks exactly according to instructions. My jaw pain eased up about 70%. I then put it on just morning and night. Pain is gone now three weeks later and my headaches have eased up a lot. I now use it if I feel a little tense before bed. And I still have more than 1/2 a jar left. This is worth every penny and I highly recommend it. Ps. For those who mention the smell, it actually is a nice mint scent and it goes away in a few minutes. Not strong to me at all.UPDATE: It is March 2022 and I am just now ordering a new jar. This cream in this little jar still works great and it lasted me 6 months!

Based on other reviews I expected to need to wait a few weeks for some relief. I rubbed a small amount on the master, jawline and upper neck as per instructions. Pain was reduced immediately. I will continue use and give an update in several weeks. The wintergreen scent reminded me of lifesavers candy.

This product has really helped my locked jaw and tight muscles. I’ve been using it daily for weeks and the pain is a bit less than before.

UPDATE: While helpful in reducing pain associated with my TMJ, it is the probable cause of a sebaceous cyst I developed in front of my ear. My doctor advised me to treat on the lower jaw area only and to wipe off any excess. Just be advised of this when treating, because these cysts can be painful if they become infected as mine did.ORIGINAL: This is a small jar, but you don’t need much with each application. I’ve been using it for about two months. At first it progressively improved my jaw pain caused by TMJ. Then one day, it didn’t. The pain began to return and stuck around despite repeated applications. More recently it has begun to subside again. I get back pain brought on by trigger points. I noticed when I get sick, those trigger points are aggravated. I have many in my shoulders and neck. I was a little under the weather when the pain in my jaw came back. My conclusion is that provided there are no other exacerbating factors, this cream works decently. It’s a tool in the toolbox but by no means a solution.

Product arrived with a big note (homemade flyer style) saying if your face turns green or the scent is too strong, you've used too much. I could smell the product before it was even out of the package; no matter how little I might use, it was going to have a strong smell I was being warned about. And it might turn my face green???? The website, when I tied it, was defunct. I called the company to ask questions (encouraged in the flyer they sent me), but got voicemail. I later received a text saying they'd call soon or I could email. They never called. I'm interested to know who is the "doctor" that created this product and what exactly are the ingredients (if on the label, too tiny to read)? No refunds on this product. I failed to investigate well enough before purchasing. You might wish to investigate before buying.
