One common type of medication when dealing with arthritis is arthritis pain relief creams, also known as topical painkillers. They come in creams, gels and lotions. These medications are applied to the skin in the areas where there is significant joint pain. They are not intended to take the place of your arthritis remedy of choice, but they can help you find temporary relief from painful flare-ups as well as soothe your aching joints on a daily basis.

Here are some different forms of arthritis pain relief creams that are most commonly used today.

• Creams, Lotions and Gels: These products are referred to as counterirritants because they contain ingredients that make your skin feel hot or cold to soothe the pain. Flexcin has a lotion that is a great compliment to the Flexcin with CM8 arthritis supplement pills. Holding true to the all-natural benefits of Flexcin products, Flexcin Motion Lotion is Paraben Free and is naturally blended to soothe aching joints and muscles as well as reduce the inflammation. Motion Lotion has a pleasant, mild fragrance. Applying the lotion twice a day, or as needed, will soothe the muscles and joints that are most commonly overworked throughout the day.

• Rubs with and aspirin effect. Some topical analgesics contain salicylates, the same ingredients that give aspirin its pain-relieving quality. But there are some concerns with using these types of products. If you are allergic to aspirin or are taking blood thinners, you could have complications with these rubs. It's very important to check with your doctor before using topical medications that contain salicylates.

• Chili pepper seed-based creams. These creams are good for minor aches and pains. They contain a compound called capsaicin, an ingredient found in hot peppers. Capsaicin causes the small blood vessels in the skin to open up therefore increasing blood flow to the area. That results in the area heating up and creating a soothing sensation.

Here are some things to think about when using an arthritis pain relief cream:

• Always be sure to wash your hands after applying it, making sure to keep your hands away from your eyes as these creams can irritate your eyes.

• Don't apply topical remedies to open sores or irritated skin areas.

• If you develop any kind of rash, stop treatment.
