sports cream
Athletic pain relief
Sports cream is a topical analgesic applied to sore muscles and joints—the kind of ache that follows exercise or physical labor.
These creams typically contain menthol, camphor, or capsaicin, producing a warming or cooling sensation that masks pain: He rubbed sports cream on his shoulder after the game.
Brand names like Bengay and Icy Hot are common examples.
