Ok here’s my take. I have never used cobroxin and not sure how a topical or a oral would work to block pain. What I do no for a fact is that cobra venom does work as a nerve block. I work in the horse industry and it is often used in racehorses that may have a high chip in there knee. Horses will run a race and come back lame, due to excessive swelling in a horses joint, the horse will hobble when he walks, as soon as the venom is injected into the joint the horse immediately perks… Read more »

causes myself think a little bit extra. I appreciated every particular element of this post.
Thanks a lot ,Freeman
I am a consumer that has bought, used and subsequently thrown out cobroxin. I did this not because it did not work but rather because of the horrible problems and side effects the product caused me. My side effects have been: deadened nerves throughout my entire body leaving my face swollen and drooping at times like bad botox, weight gain, loss of balance & vertigo at improper times, infections, emotional & cognitive blunting, dysphoria, persisting hemiplegia… All of these side effects continued even after I stopped taking cobroxin 6 months ago. Though to some extent I’m beginning to feel better,… Read more »
Thank you for your comment and compliment, Marc!
I am seventy-four…,almost seventy-five…years old. I have suffered with crippling arthritis since my late forties. By that time my entire spine had the Christmas tree effect. I had three herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Both of my hips were replaced eighteen months ago. Both knees are badly crippled but I can’t face any more surgery. The arthritis is in virtually every joint in my body…hands , feet, elbows, and shoulders. At one time I was on 80 milligrams of vicodin daily. The pain grew worse. I accidentally discovered Cobroxin at Walgreen’s. My initial reaction was “oh what… Read more »
I tried Cobroxin one day out of the blue when I seen at Walgreens. I had seen a few science specials on the future of this kind of pain relief, so I was curious if it would work. I sit at a desk all day and have chronic neck pain and headaches from it, for about 10 years now. And my hands also hurt from various other office tasks and I since it runs in the family it is probably arthritis. About a week after taking it, my neck pain and chronic headaches were gone, and my hands felt better.… Read more »
I just bought this at Walgreens for a sprained back. I did so with great skepticism and asked about being able to return it if it didn’t do anything. But it seems to really work. I’ve been having REAL problems after getting older with sprained back and it has been horrible lately. This made a BIG difference. Yesterday, when I bought I was in great pain. Today, almost nonexistent. So, I would say give a try. And, I’m just commenting here. I don’t get any kickback for saying this and just got here through google.
Cobroxin worked for me. I suffered a severe sprained ankle about 3pm, by 7am the next morning I had about a number 8 and half pain as I hoped to the bathroom. I found the Cobroxin gel and oral spray in the drawer and used them, By about 10am my pain was down to about a number 1 and never increased again. It was then that I was sold on it. Check out the latest review here http://www.kneejointpain.us/cobroxin.html Also look at the reviews on Amazon. I also had a couple of friends try it for their bone on bone knee… Read more »
