Personal choice: Most arthritis creams work on the idea of a "pain gate, " in which the cream causes a tingle or mild burning sensation that prevents the nerves from carrying pain information because they are already full of tingle/burn information. One common active ingredient is capsaicin. It is important to remember that these creams may dull pain, but they do not fix the underlying problem.
