I am 56 years old and have already had a joint replacement of the basal joint of the left thumb. JointEase has helped to alleviate my post surgery joint pain. I actually felt like the tin man was oiled and could move again. I also have golfer's elbow (opposite side of tennis elbow). JointEase seems to help. I have tried every prescription, over the counter pills, and creams and menthol gels for pain relief. I find JointEase to be the best option for the burning pain.
