Default biofreeze ?

I was going to a chiopractor who used biofreeze and i think that was the only good thing that he did or used. i have gone to several stores to purchase some and i can not find it. I have seen a couple of post here and on other boards from people who use this and I was wondering if some one could tell me where they buy it. I have seen it on ebay and on the net, but i would rather buy it in a store to avoid shipping and handling charges. thanks to anyone who can help me.

My chiro has it available at his office for purchase. Check with your chiro and see if they do in fact have it, or refer you to someone that does carry it in your area.

Sharon,

Yes, with the Biofreeze, you can only buy it either at a doctor's office or via mail order over the Internet. There are literally dozens of places you can order it over the net, and prices vary wildly, so do shop around. I would be happy to give you the URL where I ordered some, as it was by far the cheapest site I found, but it seems I don't have the link on this computer. It is likely I do have the link on my laptop, so the next time I get on that, I will look for it and post it if I find it. I mean, this site was about half the price of most other sites, if I remember correctly, and you could buy just a couple tubes at a time. Other site only let people order if they order many tubes or bottles, or ordered the very large (and expensive) refill jug. These are the sites that cater only to doctors' offices, I imagine.

Check back in a day or so to see if I found the link.

I was right, the link was on my laptop. This link takes you right to the Biofreeze page at a site called cheaprelief.com, which sells many other products besides Biofreeze.

My podiatrist carries it. Works ok for me, but not for my chronic pain.

Thumbs up Got samples

I went to the web page above last week and wanted others to know that I did receive 2 sample packets today along with a price list to order more. Only took 7 days to receive them. Haven't used any yet but plan on rubbing some on hubby later tonight, he is the one with chronic pain.

Default Local Pharmacy

My local pharmacy has it. Not the Rite-Aid, Kroger, CVS type of pharmacy, but a real compounding pharmacy. Look in the yellow pages to see if there is one in your area. They usually carry all kinds of hard to find stuff.

I started using BioFreeze a few years ago and it has helped with my pain tremendously. Just recently I have been having problems with my hips hurting so bad that I can not sleep on my side. This presents a problem since sleeping on my side is my only option. If it wasn't for biofreeze I would be spending countless nights up due to unbearable pain in my hips. I knew that my PT , pain management and PC doctors all sold biofreeze but when I asked the price it blew me away. I found out later that one of our council people sold it and would sell it at a discount to me which was great until she stopped selling it. I decided I wasn't going to pay the prices wanted by the others I mentioned, because I have better things to do with my money so I went on an internet search for the cheapest biofreeze which meant the price of biofreeze and shipping/handling. I also found that you needed to watch the price on the size of the bottle because more often then not you could find a 16 oz. pump for one price and a 32 oz. pump for only a few dollars more and at the same shipping price. So after all of my searching which took days by the way and big time headaches I found this website that sold biofreeze 32 oz. pump for $ 7 more then what they sold their 16 oz. pump. The price for the 32 oz. pump is $ 28.00 plus $ 7 s/h and no prescription required. This is the website
