Thank you to Ted's Pain Cream for sponsoring this post and, more importantly, for making me feel better.
Okay, I am a skeptic. I pooh-pooh most claims, and it takes a lot to get me to try something that seems too good to be true.
So when Ted’s Brain Science approached me to test Ted’s Pain Cream, I admit I rolled my eyes.
Ted’s Brain Science? Ted’s Pain Cream? Really?
But my shoulder has been bothering me, my toes always hurt and I refuse to stop playing tennis every day. So I agreed, packed the tube in my bag and headed off on a press trip.
I applied Ted’s Pain Cream three times a day, as suggested, and — I couldn’t believe it. No, I seriously couldn’t believe it — within a day or two, I noticed both of those areas felt better than they had in a long time.
I was floored. I suddenly had a newfound appreciation for Ted, and spent some time researching him and his company.
It turns out my new BFF, Ted, is better known (so far) as Dr. Theodore Price, head of the undergraduate neuroscience program at the University of Texas at Dallas. He and his amazing pain cream have a lot of science under their belts, which you can read about in detail on their surprisingly easy-to-understand website, but here’s the gist:
Like many of the best things in life, Ted’s Pain Cream is very simple. It’s made from just two natural ingredients: resveratrol, the powerful anti-aging molecule found in red wine, and salicylic acid, which comes from wintergreen plants and which makes the cream smell really good.
Best of all, Ted’s Pain Cream uses first of its kind neuroscience to not just mask pain, but to actually treat it. It’s meant for aches and pains like tendonitis, carpal tunnel, muscle strains, bruises, plantar fasciitis and even itchiness. Basically, it can be used anywhere with unbroken skin that hurts. In fact, Ted invented it because he couldn’t find anything that worked on his own Achilles injury.

Thanks for your review. I’m going to see if I can get it here in the UK as I have carpal tunnel and pain relief would be appreciated

Yes, they ship internationally!

Hm I hadn’t heard of Ted’s pain cream. But next time I pull a muscle I will see about giving it a go!
Ellen Dolgen says
Wow……..how terrific. As we age, we often have aches and pains that we never used to! I am going to try this for sure!vI In January, I suddenly woke up with tendinitis in my right arm! It was so painful. I sure could have used this.
Jessica@HappilyHughes says
I’m usually pretty skeptical of these types of products as well. Your experience of Ted’s Pain Cream sounds very positive, however. I also love to support companies that give back. I will have to check this product out and see how it deals with my post-workout aches and pains.

Okay, I’m in. My thumbs have started yelling at me on a regular basis. So I’m really hoping Ted and his cream are the answer. I’ll let you know!

Salicylic acid is the active ingredient in aspirin which gives it’s pain fighting abilities. I love that this compound is so simple. I’m glad it was effective for you.

I hadn’t heard of Ted’s pain cream. This definitely sounds like something I need to keep on hand in case of aches.
Rebecca Forstadt Olkowski says
Its so good to know it works. I could have used it when moving and will keep it in mind for the future.
Carrie Chance says
I’ve never heard of resveratrol used for pain cream. I’m intrigued. I love that it helps fund scholarships for neuroscience students. that’s awesome!

This such a great review. Ted’s Pain Cream is now an option if I experience any aches or pains.

I’ve been diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy that affects my thighs making it rough to wear
Pants! I pray it can help me.

Yes, I have small fiber neuropathy also, so severe that I cannot wear shoes. It effects my balance, coordination and gait. Haven’t heard anyone saying it will help conditions like mine.
