I don't know about creams to use for knee pain. However, I've heard good things about taking glucosamine supplements. I've been taking glucosamine for about 2 1/2 years, ever since I started running. I take it for prevention, but I've heard it is can also be taken therapeutically, with very good results. Evidently there are mixed reports on the best supplement to take--there is glucosamine & chondroitin, glucosamine sulfate, and I think another version or two that are more recent additions to the market. Most of the reading I've done seems to indicate that the glucosamine itself is the most effective thing ... so I take glucosamine sulfate since it costs about half of the version with chondroitin. I'm by no means an expert; maybe other people on this list have experience to share. Hope you find relief one way or another.
