Arthritis doesn't just hurt. It slows you down, chips away at your independence, and makes everyday tasks feel like uphill battles.
Opening jars. Buttoning a shirt. Gripping a pen. Even holding your grandchild's hand can feel impossible on bad days.
You're one of 58 million Americans dealing with this daily struggle. And like most of them, you've probably tried everything...
You've tried over-the-counter creams that barely penetrate the surface. Prescription pills that upset your stomach or worry your doctor. Heat pads, braces, and gadgets that help for an hour then sit in a drawer.
And still... the stiffness creeps in. The flare-ups return. The fatigue builds.
Twinge is for people ready to try something that actually works differently.
We take prescription NSAIDs, lidocaine, and muscle relaxants—the same ingredients doctors use in clinics—and compound them into a custom cream made specifically for your arthritis pattern.
Because arthritis isn't generic.
And your relief shouldn't be either.
Share details about your specific joint pain, morning stiffness, and what triggers your flare ups. Our arthritis focused questionnaire takes just minutes. No video calls or appointment scheduling needed.
A licensed physician reviews your case and prescribes your personalized formula (if medically necessary). Then your cream is made with ingredients that work together in your cream to bring targeted relief for inflammation, stiffness, and nerve pain around the affected joints.
Your prescription-strength cream arrives ready to transform your daily experience. No more dreading morning stiffness, avoiding activities you love, or counting the cost of every movement. This is more than pain management. It's getting your life back!
Twist, click, apply. No waste. No second-guessing.
Get targeted healing, not whole-body side effects. Feel powerful anti-inflammatory action delivered directly to your joints without the GI bleeding, kidney damage, or heart risks that traditional pills come with.
We help you move again. Prescription anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants work overnight to reduce the stiffness that affects millions of arthritis patients for over an hour each morning.
Custom concentrations target the small joints that control everything you do. Open jars again. Button shirts without help. Hold your grandkids without wincing.
Prescription potency without prescription risks. Formulated for long-term arthritis management without compromising your safety or requiring constant doctor visits.
Pharmacist-formulated. Doctor-approved. And you can message a real expert anytime.
Mornings used to be the worst. I'd sit on the edge of the bed just trying to will my knees to bend. This cream gave me my mornings back.
I tried everything for my stiff hands. Within a few days of using this, I could open jars again without wincing. It felt like a small miracle.
The swelling in my wrists made typing unbearable. Now I can get through a workday without reaching for pain meds.
I used to dread walking downstairs. The ache in my knees was awful. Since using this cream, it's been so much easier to move.
Arthritis made gardening painful. This took the edge off enough that I got back to my favorite hobby without needing to push through pain.
My hip pain was keeping me from playing with my grandkids. This cream lets me get down on the floor and back up without agony.
My shoulder pain used to wake me up constantly. Now I can sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed.
My back pain made driving unbearable. This cream lets me sit comfortably for long drives to visit family.
My ankle arthritis was keeping me from my daily walks. This cream has me back on the trails and feeling mobile again.
Store-bought creams are limited to over-the-counter strength ingredients. Twinge contains prescription-strength NSAIDs, lidocaine, and muscle relaxants that require a doctor's prescription. These ingredients are clinically proven to be more effective for arthritis pain than anything available without a prescription.
Yes, completely legal. We operate under current DEA telemedicine regulations that allow licensed physicians to prescribe non-controlled substances via secure online consultations. All prescriptions are written by licensed doctors and filled by licensed pharmacies.
No, insurance is not needed for Twinge Health. We operate on a transparent cash pay model to keep costs predictable and low by cutting out the middlemen. You can place an order using any major credit or debit card.
Yes, studies show topical NSAIDs are safe for extended use in arthritis patients, including elderly patients and those with cardiovascular conditions. Unlike oral medications, topical application minimizes systemic absorption and side effects.
Most patients can safely use topical creams alongside oral arthritis medications, but our physician will review your current medications during the consultation to ensure safety. Always inform us of all medications you're taking.
Our compounding pharmacy can adjust the formulation for sensitive skin by modifying the base or concentration. If you experience any skin irritation, contact us immediately for formula adjustment.
Side effects are rare with topical application. The most common is mild skin irritation at the application site. Serious side effects like those seen with oral NSAIDs (stomach bleeding, kidney problems) are extremely rare with topical use.
Many patients report initial relief within 30 minutes of application. In clinical studies, patients saw meaningful improvement within the first week of consistent use. Full benefits typically develop over 2-3 weeks of regular application.
Our formulations are effective for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other inflammatory joint conditions. During your consultation, we'll customize the ingredients based on your specific arthritis type and symptoms.
While we see high success rates, individual responses vary. If you don't experience adequate relief, our physician can adjust your formulation or recommend alternative approaches. We're committed to finding a solution that works for your specific arthritis pain.
Topical creams provide ongoing daily relief without the risks and limitations of steroid injections. While injections may provide temporary relief, they can't be repeated frequently and carry risks of joint damage with repeated use.
Application instructions are personalized based on your arthritis severity and affected joints, typically 2-3 times daily. Your prescription will include specific dosing instructions, and our precision applicator ensures consistent dosing.
Yes, one of the key advantages for arthritis patients is the ability to treat multiple affected joints with the same cream. Whether it's knees, hands, shoulders, or hips—apply where you need relief.
No. Our pharmaceutical-grade base absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. You can dress normally and continue daily activities immediately after application.
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. The cream remains stable for the duration indicated on your prescription label, typically 6 months.
Once your prescription is approved, your custom cream is typically compounded and shipped within 2-3 business days. Most patients receive their cream within 5-7 days total.
Refills are easy—just reorder through our patient portal. No need to repeat the full consultation unless your symptoms or needs change significantly.
Yes, you can travel with your prescription cream. Keep it in the original pharmacy container with your prescription label for travel through airport security.
Simply update your address in your patient account. We ship nationwide to ensure you never miss your arthritis relief due to location changes.
