Q: Why would you choose a lidocaine-based cream?

You’d reach for a lidocaine cream like the Rescue Pain Relief Cream when you need fast, numbing relief that interrupts pain signals at the nerve level. It’s especially helpful for sharp, intense pain—like a sudden back spasm, knee flare-up, or lingering joint pain that’s keeping you from sleeping or moving comfortably. Unlike plant-based creams or cooling formulas that work more gradually, lidocaine acts quickly by dulling the nerves, giving you immediate relief.

Q: Which type of cream is best for post-workout soreness versus chronic joint pain?

You can use the Rescue Pain Relief Cream for both: its arnica and aloe give quick, cooling relief after a workout, while the 4 % lidocaine plus glucosamine and MSM make it strong enough to ease chronic joint pain day after day.
