Rubbed it in on my neck and shoulders 1 minute later I was bawling in pain trying to get it off in the shower. This product burns your skin, not a good burn, a stinging terrible burn!

I would not recommend this at all. I have serious neck pain from time to time and usually use a standard Deep Heat/Dencorub gel. I opted for the Extra Strength a couple of days ago and every time I use it, it's just caused unbearable burning/pain. As another reviewer commented, not a nice heat pain, but a very painful one. I can't believe this is still being sold. I'd recommend a standard-strength gel, stay away from this one.

I used it in spot sections like my neck and it did burn but I could deal with it. Then I had it applied all over my back and it felt like whatever chemical they use in it was burning away at my skin and I don't mean that great deep heat burn I mean like that painful burn that had me running to the shower in tears. I'm pretty good with pain but this was extreme... I personally wouldn't recommend it but if you're going to use it don't apply a big amount. Maybe rub a little into an area and spot test, just to save yourself the redness and the burning.

I used to wake up in agony and have tried everything ie. Deep heat and what not. Then i found dencorub i am pain free all day. Thanku dencorub! :)

I had ankle pain and applied the night before. Next morning pain was gone! I went for a long walk and got a shock that I had a very big bright red mark around my ankle. I did have fitted elastin topped socks at the time but didn't feel any discomfort. Now it feels hot but doesn't really hurt but it looks really awful. I guess it does warn against bandaging and maybe the socks imitated that but i was surprised it happened day after applying.

It is hot. Feels great. I use it on my knees and ankles sometimes after running at night. I fall asleep with beautiful warm tingling joints and wake with no pain in the morning.

When I started putting this on, it was
nice and it smelt really good. After about 5 minutes my legs started to get really hot. I thought it would pass but about 10min later my legs were on fire.
I had to get into a cold bath and even then the stinging got worse. Was in absolute tears.
Don't recommend this product at all.
On the other hand, the pain made me forget how sore my muscles were.

I purchased Dencorub extra strength and applied to my lower back and experienced a painful burning sensation. After two days area has turned dark red and has blistered-pain is now excruciating . I cannot recommend this product
