Our licensed physicians review your detailed pain assessment online—where it hurts, how it feels, what you've tried before. This gives them everything they need to prescribe your custom formula. No video calls required, no waiting rooms, and you get the same level of care as an in-person visit.
This is real prescription medicine, not over-the-counter. Our licensed pharmacists compound your cream with prescription-grade ingredients like lidocaine, NSAIDs, and muscle relaxers that you can't buy at the store. It requires a doctor's prescription because it's that much stronger.
Most people notice improvement within the first few applications, often within 24-48 hours. Because it's custom-made for your specific pain type and applied directly where it hurts, it works faster than pills that have to travel through your whole system.
We stand behind every formula. If you don't get the relief you're looking for, message our team and we'll work with your doctor to adjust your formula at no extra cost. Your pain profile helps us get it right, but we're here to fine-tune until it works.
Yes. Because the medicine is applied directly to the pain area, very little enters your bloodstream compared to pills. This means you get strong relief without the stomach upset, drowsiness, or other side effects that come with oral medications.
Most creams are one-size-fits-all with limited active ingredients. Your Twinge cream is custom-compounded by a licensed pharmacist based on your specific pain type, location, and what hasn't worked before. It's prescription-strength medicine made just for you.
We don't work with insurance, which actually works in your favor. No copays, no deductibles, no prior authorization delays. Just one flat $79 price that includes your doctor visit, custom cream, and fast shipping. Most people save money compared to insurance hassles.
Your cream is compounded fresh after your doctor's prescription and ships via USPS 2-Day Priority—typically arriving within 2-4 business days of your order. Rush options available if you need it faster.
Just reorder online—no need for another doctor visit unless you want to adjust your formula. We keep your prescription and pain profile on file so refills are quick and easy.
Because topical creams have minimal systemic absorption, they're generally safe with other medications. Our doctors review any medications you list during your consultation, but always check with your primary doctor if you have concerns about drug interactions.
