As a bull rider who generally tends to get launched and stomped on or injure myself one way or another, Real Time Pain Relief has been a huge part of my...after-care...Two applications of RTPR and I feel like a new person! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Samantha S - Syracuse, New York
My right knee was slowly over two years becoming more and more painful on stairs and bending motions. My buddy suggested RTPR, claiming he swore by it. He told me to try it for two weeks, if I wasn't happy with the results he would buy the ointment from me. So with that money back guarantee, I bought a pump bottle. I was amazed at the results. I'm the skeptical type, but there's no arguing with results. That was twenty-six months ago, I use it once daily on my knees. Bicycling, treadmill, hiking are all 99% pain free activities. I am a believer. 64 years young customer. 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Jim L - Lincoln, Nebraska

Just loving RTPR lotion for my back, legs, feet...it always give me pain relief. 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Alexis H. - Nassau, United States Minor Outlying Islands
I have to admit, I was more than skeptical when first trying the foot cream. I reached the point that I had so much pain, I was ready to try almost anything to relieve it. Plus, I found that I had an allergic reaction to the shots I was taking for the pain. My daughter bought it for me and I have to say I was amazed when I put it on. I put it on my knee, the side of my thigh and my hip...I literally felt the pain lessening. You have a customer for life, thank you so much!!! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Audrey Rubinstein - Lititz, Pennsylvania

This product is great. At a recent event show the product representative asked if I'd like to sample, I said yes and she applied a small amount of the Real Time Pain Relief on my thumb/wrist area. What a relief I felt...I also bought a small tube of the Real Time Maxx to try , it's so relieving for my awful arthritis pain in my back, knees, thumbs and feet. I recently purchased a 12oz. Pump of the Maxx and use it daily. I highly recommend these products and will definitely use more. Why suffer in pain when these products are available out there. You'll spend a lot more on others that don't relieve as long and keep trying others that also don't relieve pain. Go for it, worth every cent spent! A++Ron 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Ron - King, North Carolina
I absolutely love this product. I am naturally sceptical, at first I only bought the small tube of hand pain cream. The vendor I purchased from recommended I get the large tube. Now I know why I should have listened. This product really works great! And I love the smell of the hand cream. I prefer it to the menthol. Although I use both now.Kenna - Winnipeg.

I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 15, I am now 21 almost 22 and still suffer horribly from this disease. I suffer so much my wrist have locked up and i have absolutely no movement in them. I never wanted to do anything cause any type of movement causes me a lot of pain. I have tried almost every medicine that my doctors have prescribed to me, even top name brands that you see on the tv and some helped but eventually gave out cause my arthritis is just too severe. I've even tried several creams that say they temporarily stop arthritis pain but they do absolutely nothing for me. When I first tried this cream it...started working on me and I was in shock considering nothing has helped me and lasted as long as this cream does. I could actually cry cause I am so thankful to have come across this. I used to bearly sleep cause I was in so much pain and would cry but this has definitely helped me deal with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I still hurt a little bit but nothing i cant deal with. Much better than taking medication that has so much bad ingredients that only make you worse. Greatest product ever!! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Nicole L. - Corpus Christi, Texas

...I purchased a small container of Real Time to try out. Always looking for something to help so I have tried everything. Not difficult to find a pain area on my body, I started rubbing the substance on my neck, back and legs. Oh, my goodness. The treatment did not heal me, but it sure gave me pain relief that was totally unexpected. I was finally able to go to sleep at a decent hour. I have using Real Time for 4 years. I am thrilled by the result and will continue my use until death "do me part." Humor...dl 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Daryl L. - Bakersfield, California

...The pain in my knees was so unbearable, that I couldn't get out of the car, up from a chair, out of bed, or off of the toliet! My doctor tried me on a couple different medications, which didn't give much relief, including steriod injections, which would only last so long. My mother in law eventually introduced me to RTPR. I read everyone's testimonials about it, which I was skeptical about. I had nothing to lose. I was willing to try it. I put it on both my knees immediately after I woke up, in the middle of the day, and right before I went to bed. What a difference! This is truly a miracle cream! My husband definitely was skeptical, saying it was all in my head. A hand cream sample came with the package I later ordered. I had him try it, since he has issues with his hand. He immediately said to order him some. So I did. Thank you Real Time Pain Relief! (I also ended up ordering some of the foot cream for my mother in law, to thank her in return!) 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Michelle E. - Englewood , Colorado

I was as skeptical as some of you as well. As a medical professional, I hadn't even heard of Real Time Pain Relief. I stubbed a toe quite severely and the swelling caused me to walk differently than normal, which in turn made my knee extremely painful while walking. An ICU nurse commented that he had a product that was good for aches and pains. He gave me some samples, and they worked great!! I ordered some RTPR and the foot cream from him and expected to see him within a few days. That was not the case as we were scheduled at different hospitals, the pain was quite bad for at least a week, before I got a hold of him and my order...I have since placed a large order and won't run out next time. I plan to share my samples with my elderly parents, one with back problems, the other with shoulder issues. Great product!! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)David S. - Lander, Wyoming
Been using this product for nearly two years now. Not sure what I'd do without it! Ran out a couple of weeks ago and tried some over the counter items. Waste of money! Didn't even come close to what Real Time Pain Relief does! Can't thank you enough! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Mike - Lexington, Illinois
...I recommend it to everyone I meet!...I love it! I use it for everything... 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Michaela - Bremerton , Washington
I am a very skeptical person. After 15 years of fighting my knee, and a month ago finally having a partial replacement, not only does my knee kill me, but also my back bc of how I have to walk. While at a festival, we saw this husband and wife with their booth for this...I am swearing by this and have also gotten my man to love it with his shoulder, and my mom to love it with her knees and hips. I can't wait to make another order and help more people learn and love this product and help them in their everyday lives!!! 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Jenna - Rochelle, Illinois
I give this stuff a 5 star rating...I really like this stuff and recommend it for everyone with pain. I don't care what kind of pain your in! I am not a spokesperson for this company either. 5 Average: 5 (1 vote)Jenn S - Portland, Michigan
