Does anyone know what "FLEXISEQ and its "ACTIVE INGREDIENT", SEQUESSOME", is?

Both are trade mark names. It is a cream meant to relieve painful joints but it is extremely expensive. Before I go out and buy it I would like to know a bit more about it. I am male, 72 years, in overall reasonable health.

      hello, I've been using H & B Glucosamine, and MSM complex for about three months and have had terrific success with it.  I don't have to take any other pain killers now at all. I used to suffer badly with both knees, right hip and lower back pain.  I only have to take one tablet a day. Thank goodness I found it.

    I have been applying Flexiseq for the past month for my osteoarthritis, finding that it has consierable lessened the pain.  In the past I have taken all manner of pills to no effect, but Flexiseq has made such a difference in lessening the pain.

    I posted a couple of months ago re Flexiseq.  I had been using it with excellent results but after x-rays my doctor had offered me a steriold injection in the knee.  I stopped the Flexiseq for a week before the injection which the doctor advised "might work immediately, might take a couple of days or a couple of weeks" but he also said that it didn't always work.   Felt okay for a couple of days and then began to get the pain again.   Suffered for a couple of weeks and then started

    using the cream again and within a couple of days I was coping well again.    It's not a miracle cure but it certainly helps and I would say I suffer discomfort in my knee at times but nothing like the unbearable pain I had to start off with.   Well worth the money

    I am a 64 year old self-employed builder (still working full time of course) and about 4 months ago suffered quite severe knee pain (I have been wearing knee pads for the last 4years). My wife grew tired of my constant grumbling about it and went to a pharmacy, described my symptoms and the chap advised to try 'Flexiseq'. Being a true cynic I read the blurb and dismissed it as a quack remedy. It sat on my bedside cupboard for several weeks. Then as the pain grew steadily worse and at my wifes prompting I decided to try it. I have to say that the results have been truly remarkable. I am now on my third tube and I find it hard to believe that just an ointment can have been so effective and successful..

    Using Flexiseq has reduced my knee pain to an almost unnoticable level and meant that I can carry on working as normal (although I do try to restrict carrying very heavy weights, and also kneeling jobs, but that's difficult in the buiding trade) and also carry on with my favourite pastime of walking the dog.

    I had to stop playing my beloved golf 7 weeks ago because of my arthritic knees.

    This gel has got me back on the course and keeps me free of excessive joint pain.

    Still waitng for a new pair of knees, do I need them!

    PLEASE TRY IT IF YOU HAVE BAD KNEES.

    hello william,

    i've been using flexiseq since february. i have osteoathritis in my left ankle, the base of my spine and the top of my spine. it is doing wonders on my ankle and lower spine. the swelling i had on my ankle has gone down by about half and the pain is now only coming in twinges. the top of my spine and neck are not fairing so well i'm afraid but i will persevere.

    i would recommend it, but it is not a quick fix i doubt if 1 or 2 tubes of it would help. i only put it on every couple of days now but when i started using it i put it on twice a day for about 2 months then once a day for 2 months.

    hope this has been of help.

    Started using this less than a week ago and although the cost was a bit high, I decided to give it a go.  Oh how I wish I'd bought it sooner, it is amazing stuff and within 2 days the pain in my knee had lessened and for the first time in weeks I was able to walk up and down the stairs without wincing.  Give it a go, apart from the £18 (and it's cheaper from other chemists) what have you got to loose except the pain.

      Just as an experiment, I stopped using Flexiseq and tried 3 other gels which are frequently advertised.  They may have helped a tiny bit but not much. I'm now back on Flexiseq and the difference is tremendous.  I usually buy it on eBay or an online chemist - Wel***** when I buy their pack of 3 and get free delivery.  It compares very well with those on eBay but you do need to shop around online to avoid the £18 charged on the High Street.

    I get it off Ebay and I find that if I order 3 or more tubes I have got it as low as £12 so it's worth "shopping" around for it, and it really does work, I know it's a lot of money but what price on pain relief??  and you are worth it!!!!

    HAVING OSTEOARTHRITIS IN BOTH KNEES AND HAVING SERIOUS PAIN WHEN ON HOLIDAY WHICH I COULD NOT ENJOY BECAUSE OF LIMITED WALKING.  I TRIED A TUBE OF FLEXISEQ AND THINK IT IS MARVELLOUS - IN THE PAST DOCTORS GIVEN ME ALL SORTS OF GELS AND CREAMS WITHOUT SUCCESS

    BUT FLEXISEQ I CANNOT PRAISE TOO HIGHLY.  I BUY IT ON THE INTERNET WITH FREE DELIVERY.

    I THINK THE NHS SHOULD PROVIDE THIS ON THEW NHS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THE OTHER GELS AND CREAMS.   THIS DOES IT FOR ME  NIGHT AND MORNING

      Hello Linda - I'm glad you too have found Flexiseq Gel works. I started using it in June 2014 and, if you look 2 up from your message, you'll see I tried others in between. I wrote to NICE to ask if it could be prescribed on the NHS. They said it is a "device" and not under their jurisdiction. I also printed off a lot of information about it, took it to my GP, who presented it at the Practice Prescription meeting but - no - they won't prescribe it!  I find it frustrating as they prescribe anti-inflammatory tablets, frequently with Lanzoprazole or Omaprazole as well to protect the stomach against the effects of the antiflammatory tablets, other gels and creams (frequently also containing anti-inflammatory ingredients) and yet won't prescribe a harmless, drugless gel like Flexiseq which, after all, acts - put quite simply in my words only! - a bit like WD40 - lubricates our joints through the skin.  I don't get it!  Now I'll get off my soapbox! lol
